anyway to reset kelvin?

[Cargasm]

My brain dead buddy kelvin walked into a hole in my base between logs before I finished the floor. Now he wont move. I removed all the logs around him and he just stands there, wont follow me or follow commands to get things. He spins around, sits down, stands up, but that is it. Is there anyway to reset him?

There’s a way to bring him back from the dead if you kill him, you can find it on wiki if you google it

Have him follow you then go into a cave then back out, he might teleport to you and get unstuck.

As far as killing him goes, only method I know of to get him back is a new game. Didn't know if they actually implemented a way to get him back otherwise.

Just an update: game is pretty bugged now. Day 26, 23 hours of gameplay. Zombie Kelvin is a corpse and my base is also bugged. Yay early access.

Tried to get kelvin to follow me, ran into caves, nothing, ran across map, nothing, made a new base camp, nothing, saves, restarts, all nothing. still stuck in place.

I also tried shooting him in the knee with an arrow so he fell to his knees injured, healed him, he stood up, still stuck. Sometimes he got up in a slightly different spot but still could not move from that spot. only spin, sit, stand.

Killed kelvin and brought him back by editing files, came back, still stuck. Appears to be ankle deep in the ground.

To get him unstuck I found his x,y,z position while editing him back to life. Changed his Z position 10 higher. loaded the game and he was standing next to me in a completely different spot. No longer stuck. Yay?

Sent him to go get logs, after 4 logs I found him bloody on his hands and knees, still alive, but unable to heal or give commands. Saved, re-logged, he was a corpse. Virgina cried. Bad times. Went to re-edit the files to set him to alive. They show him as alive according to the edit guide. Double checked the save file it is the latest where he is a corpse. I'm confused.

There is another line in the files not mentioned in the guide to bring kelvin back from the dead. killed by player. it was set to 1. so I am assuming a falling tree killed him and he didn't respawn because of that. I set it to 0. Maybe when I log back in he will be back to his old brain dead zombie slave self.

While zombie Kelvin was dropping trees on his head and dieing in the woods. I realized my base is now bugged as well. The logs I removed to try and get kelvin out cannot be placed back. I Removed more logs to add them in and one side will not connect to the other. So I have a permanent one log wide hole in the outside wall of my base. I can move the hole by removing and replacing logs but they will never connect back together. Base was fine before. I just got interrupted while placed floor boards by cannibals attacking. During the attack is when kelvin got stuck. All this because I wanted to rebuild my base but positioned slightly different to fit the terrain better. My last non bugged save is on day 9.

sadly this is quite common.
Mine is bugged just below my base and there is no way im going to dismantle the full base for him

Try changing his position in the save files. Should get him out.

It's likely his AI Script bugged out, so even if you save and reload his AI still follows the broken script.

my kelvin is stuck under water and i cant get him out there, no matter what i do. tried everything we know until now.

[Dewey]

1 month later and I am experiencing the same issue... I just about managed to get him high enough so that I can interact with him... but then the winter came, his is forever trying to follow me, under the ice. Good thing its not realistic seasons... right? haha

[☠Sun-Eater☠]

kill him and eat his legs, then he is with you forever.

[Yellowfrog]

when i had the pixelation bug (because of many torches)the solution was simple:grenades at the foundations.do the same to your base and kill that idiot whose job is only to bring problems.(px:i had 6-7 mutands standing still all together looking at me while i was in water and preparing a time bomb for them and the idiot thought it was a good idea to go near them and take aggro making them chase him and avoid the bomb)

One day, in the not-too-distant future, we will all look back on these days and have a good chuckle. We'll sit around our roaring bonfires roasting cannibal limbs remembering poor Kelvin and his valiant struggles to find new and annoying ways to be "helpful" and we'll just laugh and laugh until we're gasping for ... Oh, who am I kidding...? We'll still be consoling Virginia as she weeps over his everlasting corpse! :)))

Kelvin is really a in game griefer
