Summary

0005586: Embark Preparations Not Complete, No Cave Lobster, No Cave Fish, No Pond Turtle, but able to select them in Fish menu

Description

This is an error I seem to have been encountering a lot ever since I decided to embark with more then just meat all the time. I save my embark preparations since I'm very precise in what I bring, and hate having to keep redoing the list entirely, so you can imagine how I feel when it says "Embark Preparations Not Complete" then tells me there's no Cave whatever and then I look on the menu and they are all there, ready to be selected. It's not that big of a deal, cause it's only 2 items I have to readd to the menu every time (since I alway bring 100 of two types of fish), but it does seem very weird

I have only ever had this happen to me with Cave Lobster, Cave Fish, and Pond Turtle, on another note, I should probably add in a second report on the fact the fish lack gender icons so their names just appear twice.

I suspect it also occurs with Lungfish and any other fish you can bring with you on embark (I've only ever really seen those four listed :P).

Steps To Reproduce

1. Choose a location
2. Hit e
3. Choose "Prepare for the journey carefully" and hit tab
4. Add a fish to embark item list
5. Save list
6. Somehow get out of actually embarking
7. Choose another location
8. Hit e again
9. Choose the saved list
10. Hope you have luck as bad as mine
11. Watch as embark preparations are not complete

Additional Information

I've really never witnessed this happen with anything other then fish. Could be related to the fact they lack name gender tags{or whatever you'd call those things}, but that's doubtful and the subject of my next report.
