[abregado][0.17.46] Compilatron not moving/showing black help text

What?

Compilatron barely moves and won't show the black [press this button] boxes anymore no matter how often i restart the campaign. Hash-check of the game files shows no problems.

Wrrry?

So @abregado said i should check out the new compilatron chest. I fetch .46, start a new campaign...and then i thought i had just seen the black message box be displayed *above* the inventory for a second. So i restarted to see if i could reproduce...and then compilatron became sad.

Restarting game/scenario doesn't help.

I've attached a savegame right after restarting where compi should walk to the first wreck, but he just stays where he spawned.

Uh. Am i hallucinating? After i posted that i saw a 5x5 blue selection box around my character for half a second and then compi moved again. But after restarting again...he's frozen again.

Halp! :D

Hm. Ok, so generally it seems that A) the initial "press WASD" box doesn't appear (unless i wait a lot?). And b) he's reacting really slow to anything i do. Like..last time he took maybe 0.5 seconds to react, now he's taking 10+ seconds to start moving after an objective is fullfilled.

Also after collecting only the items from the *second* (large center) wreck he guided me to every last bit of metal scrap on the map instead of guiding me to the *first* wreck:

Yes, in the latest version I gave Compilatron a little more patience. Trying to give the player some time to maybe figure things out for themselves.

Not a bug, but I will keep an eye on it.
