    I get the message "Loadout missing. A soldier is missing the equipment for their loadout" over and over again. I have weapons, but dont see any way to get the soldier to equip a weapon. Anyone know how?

    I think that means that your soldiers don't have ammo for the weapons, look for small wooden crates in your stockpile.

    This is about the guns, as only NCOs will use military supplies now. They will grab a weapon automatically, but they only search in a particular radius of their current location for one before giving up and finding something else to do.

    You may want to put a stockpile that only takes "tools and weapons" near where the military sleep to ensure the guns are nearby when they wake up?

    The 'Loadout Missing' alert just means a soldier is, for whatever reason, running around without a gun. That's working the way it's intended, although the reasons for not having a weapon in the first place may be the fault of bugs or weird AI.

    Thanks for the info. Really enjoying this game so far - especially this newest 34C. My save games work for the first time!

    Keep up the good work guys - this will be great once it is polished! Looking forward to seeing what you do with cults, and other threats/defenses.
