Description
Hello again!

I have three fortresses in this world, and I cannot unretire one of them while I can unretire the other two. The attached save file has no active forts/adventurers. If I unretire "Leopardbends," the game crashes to desktop immediately. If I turn off "autosave after embark" then the fort will load when I unretire, and I can get to the message popup, but when I close the message it immediately crashes. If "autosave after embark" is turned on the game crashes while doing that initial save when unretiring. If I visit in adventure mode it crashes as soon as I come out of fast travel and try to move.

The crash log mentions an upright wooden spear, and it appears to be contaminant-related. This for was having intermittent crashes when I was playing it several months ago, and those also appeared to be contaminant-related. I have been playing in other forts/adventures since then and they have all worked as expected, so the issue appears related to this site specifically.

If there is anything that can be done to rescue this fortress I would be incredibly grateful. For reference this is the same world as my last handful of bugged save uploads (like the 222 missing nemesis records).
