Virginia has disappeared
Virginia has been gone at least two weeks, and seems to have disappeared. Unsure if this is a glitch or not. I have seen other posts, in which people say they accidentally hit her and she left. All answers suggest to start a new day, or restart the game, and she will eventually come back. I never injured Virginia and do not know why she disappeared. She did accidentally walk in the campfire three times, causing me to have to heal her. But I do not know if that immediately precipitated her disappearance. It is beginning to seem that my game is just glitched, and maybe she fell through the map or something. Is anyone else having this problem?

Find your save file folder. Easiest to tell with modification data = your save date.

Open that folder and navigate to the SaveData.json file. Open it up. (First make a copy to your desktop. just in case you corrupt your save in the next step)

Ctrl-f for TypeID\":9 . This is Kelvins unique ID. if you look a few characters to the right you'll find a coordinates for him within brackets. Copy those.

Ctrl-f for TypeID\":10 . This is Viriginia's Unique ID. Paste over Virginias coordinates with Kelvins. Add 5 to each X and Y otherwise they will clip over each other and disappear from the game.


Thats it. Virginia should now be next to Kelvin. Also, if either die, just navigate to GameStateSaveData which is also in your save file folder. in it you will find two references to them, each with a true or false flag. one condition titled "Isrobbydead" which controls if kelvin is dead. and the other "isvirginiadead" which is self explanatory.

Have fun.

Same here, nothing happend though. We left the base, went into some caves and when we came back, she was gone. She did not show up in over a week, so I guess she died somehow?

Same story, it was gone after 15 days. Thought about resurrecting Virginia through the configuration files, but it says it's still alive. This is definitely a bug that needs fixing

Same, left for some caves and then gone. Tried the config files but didnt work.

She goes off on her own sometimes and she also takes off the tracker or it's bugged, I don't know. If both of these things happen at once it can be really hard to find her. She went off in our game as well but kept the tracker so we could see what she was doing. She goes all over the place and stays away for days. Eventually we went and got her. It was hard to get her to follow. I think she gets stuck trying to give you gifts or something. Without some real info on what it is that she is supposed to do, it's gonna be hard to figure out why a lot of people are having this problem.

Okay, I have been building a lot and not exploring, just waiting for her to come back. Maybe she's out there glitched. It has now been almost all four seasons of her being gone. I did not have a tracker before she left, so I don't have a clue where she might be if she is out there.

I've had the same issue. I eventually found her roaming around somewhere stuck on an AI problem where shes has something in her hands (consumables) and is walking super slowly. After she gave the item to me, she seemed to be back to normal... until she finds something else or an enemy close by.

Yeah I'm pretty sure she's glitched, I don't think she's supposed to be gone that long. Once we found her walking against a wall on the back end of a lake. I din't even know how she got there because she can't go into deep water. I started to build a bridge to see if she can get out and she got out on her own all of a sudden.

If I were you I'd start checking lakes, she likes those a lot but we have observed that she can just go to a spot on the beach on the other side of the island and just stays there until you go get her. Without a tracker it's gonna be hard to find her. Hope they get this sorted out in a patch but until then, good luck on your search.

If you do find her, just open inventory screen with her and close it and she will usually follow you until she get distracted again with something. I use this trick to get her back home.

As far as being gone without knowing where, she does like to hang near lakes. I would look where the last place where you knew she was. She will follow you places and then stay there until you get her.
