Every new Friendly group "Moving in to help"

[Barley]

A Weird little thing. Every time a group of allies enters the map, it plays the combat "Moving in to help immediately" text. This, even if I'm not fighting anyone, and haven't seen a negative event more dangerous than "Blight" in weeks.

Anyone else see this? Is it a bug?

I think it has to do with the ancient ruins with mechanoids in it.

Happened to me too... And didn't get to name my colony, unless i dealt with the ancient ruins.

And also if the mechanoids are aggressive even if the ruins is still sealed and closed. Combat music will play for no reason, even if it's peaceful.
So that's why you're getting reinforcements, even though there's nothing threatening.

Are you playing in Alpha 17?

As Kirby says, if you are playing A17b, then this sounds like the ancient mech ruins bug (that should be fixed for A18). Although if you are playing the unstable A18 build, then please can you post your save file where this is happening (as it might be a new bug, or a reoccurrence of the aforementioned bug).
