This is correct!

Disconnected players replaced with AI will sit in the base unless otherwise pinged to follow. This is new as of the recent patch.

I think that can be very good feedback, however, since this forum is for Bug reports, and there are no bugs here, I’m going to close this thread.

However, I’d encourage you to take this feedback over to the General Discussion forum where we keep an eye out for feedback!

Thanks!
