Directly Abandon Settlement Makes Cities Disappear

[DrJimothy]

RimCities disappear when you leave them after entering if also playing with the Directly Abandon Settlement Mod. I'm 99% sure it's the Directly Abandon Settlement mod because I've shifted around many, many other mods, including the fact that I wasn't using RocketMan during the first 2 runs where I had this issue, and this issue existed back in 1.3, but I've always played with both of these mods as I like nomadic playthroughs where I loot cities as I find them with homicidal colonists and their herds of muffalos and other pack animals.
It doesn't just happen if the city is razed, though, for example just visiting a city to trade or leaving it after doing the rimcity allied start unexists it.
It's probably a problem within the Directly Abandon Settlement Mod, I guess the city gets considered your settlement while you're in it and so the mod automatically deletes it as you leave.
