Goron Girl

a month or two ago, my beloved mutated dodo (narcotic nancy) noped into the void for no reason. she was still trackable and her stats were unaffected, but she was tracking at 300 meters below the ground. which i interpreted as just clipping through the ground and noping under the island where she was permanently inaccessible. alive, healthy, but unreachable. then after 3 days, she spontaneously appeared a few meters away from her previous resting point, and all was well.

so...... this time we've had 20 tames nope out of our island. 12 of my dimorphodons (including my personal pet and both of my breeding studs), our bear, our beaver, and now 6 baby tames (one basilo, two megalos, and three archelons).

they're all tracking at the same coordinates, 3800 meters away. i'm pretty sure if we were to go there, they'd track beneath the ground like nancy.

i'm pretty worried about my dimorphos (especially my breeders and my pet) but normally i'd be kind of unworried about this. since nancy came back randomly, they will likely spawn back in too.

here's the problem though. the baby tames that were noped out were ALL in cryo. and if i open the cryo fridge, they're all listed as still inside their pods. but they're also registering on the tracker and the map as being out of cryo, 3800 meters away.

so i tried releasing them from their pods to see if it would fix the problem. but i got an error message saying "Cannot deploy >failed to spawn.<" which....... is an error i've never gotten. basically, the game is registering these babies as un-cryo'd in the nope-hole, so the baby data inside the cryopod is giving it a big "???"

interestingly enough, all of the babies that were noped out of cryo are all aquatic/underwater tames. none of my land-dwelling babies (one argie and 8 hespers) were affected by this glitch. only the aquatic ones. it doesn't explain the bear, the beaver, and the 12 dimorphos. but it's really weird that all the cryo nopes were aquatic tames.

this could potentially blow over and go back to normal in a few days like it did with nancy.

alternatively, this kind of glitch could turn out to be the source of our last save corruption. and potentially cause another corruption. which would suck. if we end up having to pull a save from before this glitch, my friend will lose the max level tusoteuthis he just nabbed.
