Current Behavior

My colonists started disappearing. I had reactivated new citizen spawning to get more kids into the colony (I had deactivated it before leaving the game last time) and the two children that spawned in were like phantoms. They were registered as citizens, had claimed spots of residence, and were enrolled in the colony school, but I could not find them. Then more of my colonists started turning into these phantoms.

Recalls to their workplaces, residences, or the town hall did not seem to work. Used creative mode to produce a Worker-Where-Are-You scroll and that did not identify any phantom colonists either. I do not know if my visitors were effected as it did not occur to me to check them.

I chose to abandon the colony as a nuclear option. The death messages from the abandonment indicated that my population had dropped to 9 where it had been about 20 before this started. I tried restarting the colony by putting new hut blocks in the buildings I had already built but the first three colonists to spawn in were also phantoms. I gave up and deleted that save at that point.

Expected Behavior

Literally none of the above should happen.

Reproduction Steps

1. Make a colony
2. Update to 1.690
3. Make sure spawning new citizens is turned on

Logs

I did not save my logs before deleting the save.

Anything else?

If it is helpful, I also experienced this issue. I started a completely new save on Minecolonies version 1.20.1 1.1. 690. After placing the town hut block, two citizens spawned in. I hired one to a builder's hut, but couldn't recall or otherwise interact with the worker in any way. I chose to quit to the main menu first and, on returning to the world, had the same issue. The Town Hall registered that 2/2 citizens had spawned in. I was using the Dark Oak style and had provided a 3x3 dirt block base under the Town Hall. On quitting the game, going down a version, and then reopening the game into the same Colony, the issue appeared to be completely fixed.

@someaddons I guess one of the code paths wasn't save =D

Spun up a version to try and rebreak it, only difference between this instance and the working one is 1 version of MC
