Chapter 3: No soldiers available despite 40+ enlisted and a lot assigned as warriors.

[Infestidos]

Settings are set to warriors only but bug persists with any role allowed, recruitment costs are turned off, range is set to unlimited. Using the new tool in the holotape to refresh NPC counts doesn't do anything and actually removed the 3 settlers that were working from the assignment list. Video shows multiple warriors in a settlement and the total available soldiers then shows 0 being eligible for assaults. Flare gun runs into the same "Empire doesn't have enough soldiers" bug. Doesn't matter what loadout or rank a warrior is. What do I do? Am I softlocked from completing Chapter 3? I have previously completed 4-5 assaults before this issue arose. Each outpost has 30+ beds, recruitment, mess hall, field medic, battlefield scavenger, watchtower, and training.

the chp3 war and soldier feature are badly broken.

what i did when getting this in past, just build enough bed to let "allow recruit soldier" to hire enough min 5 soldiers to do what quest i need in order to proceed.
give it about 1-2 in game days then come back chk the wardesk.

No I ended up using the old workaround. Pick 5 SS2 named settlers and make them warriors. In the SS2 settings make sure that the warriors that remain after liberation/capture is set to 0 and that essential warriors is turned on. I used this squad of 5 for everything after that. The unnamed warriors that were recruited I then stationed by going to an outpost and managing them then sending them somewhere. Iirc I had to brute force the "assign warriors x/65" or whatever it was because it got stuck at like 40 and set stage to the next part then captured another territory to advance.
