Hey I noticed this earlier today and have been trying to figure out the cause too!! Do you have RimCities installed? ALSO, do you have Roads of the Rim installed? What made you want to open the do incident log? Were you messing around or did you notice you weren't getting world events? For me I realized my world had gotten very quiet so I tried to force an event to fire and that happened. I'm thinking it has something to do with RimCities but I'm reading that the old RimCities bug was fixed so I dunno

Also noticing this bug and am running rimcities.

Starting a new game with or without rimcities doesn't make a difference.

Still, a bug that people mentioned was the fact that things can get broken when a bumper crop harvest is spawned on a rimcity. I think users were still reporting that happening.

@Ark Yeah, I have RimCities installed.

I am still getting events now and then, but I got a bit bored and wanted to see what world events are there, so that's that. If I send colonists and make a new settlement, then abandon the old one, that fixes the problem. But it would be a hassle to rebuild a new one, even with all the colonists and resources I currently have.

Edit: No 'Roads of the Rim'.

Do you have any other quest mods like go explore? Or rimquests? Or real ruins?

Yeah, 'go explore'.

Gonna be honest im at a loss. I dont know whats causing the bug, i tried to figure it out for like 4 hours. Hopefully the mod publisher can figure it out, and soon

Yeah I'm having this issue as well with Rimcities.

The event popped up once at the beginning and I selected "no" as I didn't have the silver then. The next time I saw anything to do with the quest was via a RimQuest NPC but when selected I couldn't click confirm on only that quest.

Now I cannot open the dev menu either and it shows the same message in the log.

It probably has something to do with the Roadwork incident. I abandoned the old settlement and built a new one, that solved the problem until the storyteller decided that it is time to trigger the Roadwork incident again. I had to load a older save and pray that the storyteller wouldn't pick that bugged incident.

I have pinpointed the problem. I just found out that If I build a Comms console, I wouldn't be able to open up the 'Do Incident (World)' unless I deconstruct it. Try removing any Comms console, see if that fixes the problem.

Yes that worked for me as well. Once I deconstructed my Comms console I could open the Do Incident (World) menu.

It's a pity the quest still doesn't work though.

Hi, Thanks for posting the temporary fix. I too am unfortunately having the same problem.

You are welcome.
I just found out you can still have the Comms Console built, just turn it off If you want to open the 'Do Incident' menu. Turn it on when you want to contact other factions.

I have the same problem, all events stopped happening. What mods are you using and what is yours Rimworld's version?

I'm having the same issue and it can be reproduced by trying to trigger the world event road works - I have rimcities, real ruins and many other mods. (Actually the trace looks a bit different when trying to trigger it manually.
