Virginia wandering off not coming back to shelter

[tinynia]

Not sure if it's a bug but even tho I befriended Virginia and she had been staying at my shelter for a while she at some point hasn't returned to my shelter anymore. I was exploring and she followed me somewhere. From that point on she wanders around the same area and doesn't return to my shelter anymore... She reacts normally to me when I join her (like giving me berries or wanting me to follow her) but she always stays in that area. Anyone else having that? It's been like that for 2 (rl) days now, so restarting the game hasn't fixed it.

She is not like Kelvin. She does what she wants sometimes. At a higher affection level she will be near your shelter MORE but not always.

I see it happen once in a while. I am not sure what fixes it, but she eventually comes back (in my experience). Whenever I am around her she follows me closely. If she does the same with you you could try to lead her back to base. Might take some patience - just speculating.

Also, for some reason, (don't know if it's intended to be like this) every time i give her the GPS locator, after some time she stops appearing on the GPS and the locator is back in my inventory.

I have noticed that happening a lot in multiplayer sessions. Not as much in singleplayer. Been roughly 15 days since I last gave her the gps in my singleplayer save.

Yeah I had this idea too earlier. I tried guiding her slowly and she followed me for a bit but then keeps turning around and leaves again. Now she doesn't even follow me anymore when I am nearby. Something just feels so off, it's been... idk around 10 ingame days or so since she started not leaving that area.

I just successfully led her back to base myself. She wasn't too far away in the first place, but took some time as she decided to take sudden U-turns or breaks along the way.

I have had good success with going up to her and opening up the inventory to give her stuff then closing it and she will follow me after.

She is full affinity with me too just in case that matters.

She was chilling near a cave she followed me to across the map. She seemed to have no interest in coming back to my base after herself. I went up that way to get the shovel and went to her and used the inventory trick to get her to follow me back a good distance to my base again.

I also have some tents set up for save points around the map and not sure if her ai might think those are home too because she was chilling near one.

In my game, she's been gona for like a week or 2, just MIA ?

Yep same, she was on the beach for me just out of draw distance and didnt follow me back for a week, then I gave her the camo outfit and she started follow me back to my base. I locked her in now, shes good base defense lol. I treat her well, she can sit and lay down and I let her stand in my crop plots eating the dirt.
