Are you using any mods? Same case as yours, the problem was a mod: > [@Why can't I recruit?](https://forums.snapshotgames.com/t/why-cant-i-recruit/11051): > > Recently came back to this game after a very long hiatus. Noticed that you can recruit from the Personnel tab now, cool! However, I’m unable to recruit anyone! I am sitting on just over 570 Food, recruit only costs 300, but on what I assume is the ‘recruit now’ button, the number 300 is red and no matter how much I click it I can’t recruit anyone! What am I doing wrong here? ---

As I said, nothing will happen even if you select or click anything. But thanks anyway. ---

With resources like you have in the screenshot, why are you buying the cheap soldiers? Go to the havens and spend and spend and spend! ---

On the contrary, it probably is the point. Whatever you did to acquire those resources and/or other stuff you might have done to make your game easier is probably interfering with recruiting from base. When you do something to your game in one part it has unforeseeable repercussions in other parts. ---

One question: Have you started a new campaign after the patch or is this an old save from before? Because old saves will defintively have problems. And, your screen and description is exactly the same as the one mentioned by @VOLAND who’s using mods: 300 food, this should be cheaper, especially on rookie difficulty, also no base and no recruit selectable. Sure that you never had mods running? Only disabling should not be enough or some rests from old mods are kicking in, something like that maybe … ---

I had a PPDef mod that changed how many of the random perks your soldiers start with. As I explained in my thread, if it’s set higher than 3, it breaks the recruiting page, since that page shows the 3 perks they come with. ---
