Abandoned the (Nonexistent) Expedition

[Fensfield]

I have an engineer wandering about the fringes of my dome and not getting anywhere. She works in the Polymer Factory about four tiles from the dome airlock, and no matter what I try she won't .. 'reset' for want of a better word and find something else to do. Screeenshot below:

As you can see from her comfort, while it's not killing her like the spacesuited version of whatever this is (a bug?), she is slowly deteriorating all the same since she's not going to use services.

I watched her approach the airlock while Status: Idle, whereupon she walking into the edge of it and switch to the current status she's been in ever since.

It's a basic dome, and I've tried a bunch of things including changing her job, her dome assignment.. both. The first two (and her shift commencing) resulted in her walking to the other side of the airlock, the third resulted in her moving to a different airlock and resuming the process there.

Can anyone think of a way around this? If it is a bug I'll post it to the thread about this stuff in the bugs forum but it didn't seem quite the same, for now.

What does it mean by "expedition" exactly? I'm genuinely confused...

So am I. I think it means aborted trying to move to a point outside the dome, but it's not clearing to a new task.

Honestly every day Surviving Mars is out I find something else that makes me feel like the lack of documentation in or about the game is a mark of laziness on the dev's part. If there's anything in the game that can baffle someone, there should be documentation about it. Why say "abandoning the expedition" instead of "abandoning out-of-dome activity" or something? This game needs a comprehensive encyclopedia with an explanation of things and, for something like this, why they'd be doing that.
