Tames are disappearing

[Palgi]

Hi all (and devs),

time and time again some tames, that we bought from the workshop, keep disappearing. We log out, pets are there. We log back in, some are gone. It happened now with 3 cats and 2 chicken.
No, they did not run off.
No, they did not got killed.
Yes, we have about 14 pats in our base.
Yes, it has only happened to tames from the workshop so far (including cats from the DLC)
We are playing on a dedicated Server on the Prometheus map.


Is that a known bug?

I like to end gaming sessions in a "traditional" manner...

"Traditional" manner:

"Esc"...
"Quit to Desktop"...
"Yes"...
Wait for "Icarus" to shut down in "Steam"
Waiting^...
When Icarus "PLAY" appears...

The file "Saves" are done :)

"Steam" cannot prevent subscribers shutting down the "game" in an "un-traditional" manner...

Ending a gaming session...
In an "un-traditional"^ manner...
May result in "unfinished" game saves...

"un-traditional" end session examples:

"Esc"...
"Quit to Desktop"...
"Yes"...
Then shut the laptop and walk away... :(
This^ may not allow enough time for the completion of file saves...

"Esc"
"Quit to Desktop"...
"Yes"...
Then "quickly" shut down the "Steam" app... :(
This^ may not allow enough time for the completion of file saves either...

The purpose of my post is to ensure it's not a "subscriber" end problem...
Just using some good trouble shooting techniques :)
I can't tell you how many times I just found the unit unplugged...! :D lol

Animals disappear also in singleplayer. I've lost so many wolves I lost the count. Really annoying when it happens.

All nice and good, but...

Since this happens on a dedicated server that has a runtime of 300 secs after the last player logs out. Steam has no saying in how the game is being saved.
Also, all of the above is standard behaviour. But even if not, it should not happen hat tames disappear. If you have an unplanned disconnect, or you PC stalls, then you are to be fragged? That would be unacceptable, and very hard to imagine tbh.

I guess that some bug is responsible for loosing pets on a dedicated server. It being on the server or the client is not clear (both have been reinstalled, problem persists).

I have lost 2 Buffalo and one MOA on single player now. Every time it happens when i'm away from my base. I return and they are gone. All the other animals are perfectly fine and the Buffalo were high level so nothing in the area could possibly hurt them.
