How to transfer dog cores to another pen?

[gyppygirl2021]

I played this game a bit while it was in early access, and then started up a new file after the full release. In my time playing, I have had one dog die, and I'm trying to move its core to a designated "graveyard pen", with no success. I have tried passing the core from one pen to the other through a connecting tunnel - this results in the core being rejected by the tunnel with a suctioning noise. I have tried manually switching the pen I'm focusing on and removing the core from storage - the core goes into the pen that the dog died in. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

If it makes any sort of difference, the deceased dog is the one that you get at the start from the tutorial.

If you bring a core out from storage it should definitely be going into whichever pen you last selected! I'll look into that today to see if there's a bug there.

Thanks! I just wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong.

I've been playing around with this today and can't reproduce the issue. It's possible there's a specific set of conditions to get this to break, or it's possible you're doing something slightly different than what I expect. Are you clicking on a new pen to focus it, or are you just scrolling over with the mouse/keyboard? The game won't count a pen as focused unless you've clicked on it to re-center the camera.

I went into the pen placement interface and selected it from there. I also have a few dogs in the alternate pen currently, but I guess selecting them doesn't count as focusing...

Aha! Thanks for that detail. You're right that the game isn't detecting the active room correctly when you select it that way. I'll have that fixed for the next patch. In the short term, if you select the active pen by scrolling around and then clicking on it to focus it, this should definitely work.

Alright, I'll give that a shot. Thanks!
