Summary0007560: Companions seem to randomly teleport to the surface while walking around underground
DescriptionExactly what it says - companions seem to randomly teleport to the surface while walking around underground. I've seen it happen a good number of times now. You'll know when it happens because they have "+++++++" next to their name on the [c]ompanion screen. Searching for them will be wasted effort - they haven't climbed or gone upwards through a passage. The only surefire way to get them back is to fast travel - even waiting produces random results.
Steps To Reproduce1. Gather a load of companions
2. Start walking around underground roadways
3. Keep an eye on your number of companions, particularly after you fight something. Sometimes they'll disappear.
4. Check the [c]ompanion screen.

Nevermind, fast traveling doesn't always fix it.

Can you upload a save to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] and link to it here?

Wish I could, but I drowned soon after posting this... I could give you the world, but it won't have the problem happening still.

Edit: The save you linked sounds like he just climbed out of the pit.

That's what I thought as well, but I figured a link would be useful in case they turned out to be related. Did this occur in the caverns or a worldgen/player fortress?

In the caverns, on the underground roads.
