Tested it some more without COL and its only happening with the mod, what the fuck

Thank you for the report!

I gave this a test with the "Combat Overhaul Legacy" mod enabled, and I'm seeing slightly different results: when I select the Abandoned Outpost mission type, I instead get the "Rescuing Subra" mission. I think this happens because the mod seems to override all the abandoned outpost missions and set their types as "Destroy outpost", which only leaves that one specific mission with the generic "Abandoned outpost" type.

Which specific abandoned outpost mission type had you selected? Do you have any other mods installed that might modify the missions? Which seed did this happen on?

I think this interaction is somehow related to how the Eye of Europa mission locations are technically treated as "outposts modules".

It can be caused by various reasons like an outpost generating in the wrong spot on the biome map, or mods that change how the campaign map is structured. When game for whatever reason "cannot find suitable module for the location type" it wrongwarps you to the blank end-zone biome gate.

I'm guessing this "combat enhanced" mod does something to overwrite outpost modules, or the outpost mission 'module tags'. Which would be what caused this.
