Bug/Issue Village Guards Disappear After Varying Times

When going into a village, guards will sometimes expire on sight, and other times take a while before doing so. They leave experience and sometimes an item.

 

No luck with fixing the Guards expiring, but the game performance has improved! Time to give it the old, remove mod, start, test, rinse and repeat method.

Also, offtopic, but what the what the what is that amazing profile pic?

 

Thanks for the speedy help! At 2AM EST no less, good heavens. If all else fails, my Starbound's definitely loading everything faster!

Given the expression in the picture, the name Hades is not that much of a surprise. Reminds me of when I name my more vicious characters Hekates.

 

After using the Find command in a chat log, some guard related problems arise:

[Error] Exception caught loading asset: /dialog/guard.config:hail, (AssetException) Could not read JSON asset /dialog/guard.config:hail

My guess is that when a guard attempts to converse without first being prompted by the player, they bug out and the game terminates them. I can talk to them still at least.

 

Edit: I thought I'd finally fixed the problem with guards dying, but all I did was fix whether or not they could hail. Apparently hailing doesn't cause them to croak.
