Poop Vanishing

[Dysprosium162]

My Phiomia Poop is coming out the butt but it vanishes. I tried moving it around all over the place and still the Poop vanishes into thin air. Any ideas?

[Seiko]

haha, keeps the place clean, do you have a dung beetle perhaps who is collecting it?

[Dysprosium162]

Haha no, but I shut the game down and a patch went through, and when I went back in the poop now sticks around xD.

[Lord Cloral]

I've had the same problem.

I guess there is plenty of poop there in the ASA void we all cannot see. XD

There is plenty of these issues. Levitating poop that suddenly forgot the newly acquired physics. Invisible walls on the straight ground tamed dinos cannot cross. Flying stones. Dinos falling through the foundations... Getting stuck in the belly of the rex looking at its digital insides. You name it.

Yes mine got fixed and then it came back again later this afternoon. ♥♥♥♥♥♥ xD. Making my new garden hard to get going. :(

Reading comprehension. The poop is being created as normal. It the phases through the ground or possibly just disappears, but you can see it for a second before it does.

I HAVE SOME PROBLEM BEFORE THE POOP ARRIVE ON TERRAIN ESPIRED BUT NOT FIXES THIS ERROR WHY THE PATCH BROKEN ARK EASY AAHHH

I think it must fall through the ground mesh sometimes.
Are you having it stand on a foundation? I haven't missed a turd ever since I moved half my tames to a tree platform.

[Elterror82]

So, whether it’s in a foundation or even with wild dinosaurs, you can see the poop coming out, but as soon as it reaches the ground, it disappears. On the contrary, I did a test and if it remains at a certain height, you can see it. Therefore, the problem is really due to contact between the foundation, stone, wood, straw, all and even the wild dinosaurs that disappear physically, but are invisible. Is it possible that something negative happens with every patch?

In my experience (solo player, so network issues are not applicable) the feces are still in the world but they are clipping through both any foundations AND the terrain surface. As a result they seem to end-up just under the foundation/terrain surface. This is also happening to eggs but they tend to be taller and at least partially poke up into the "air".

I came to this conclusion because I noticed I could occasionally see a window for a feces while looking at the ground at certain angles, then using "f" to pick-up similar items and it would sometimes get additional feces and eggs I didn't know were there at all.

Same problem on my dedicated server. Poop drops, then vanishes, but if you see where it fell you can sometimes see the description box and pick it up.

This is making any form of farming nigh-on impossible.

Both poop and sound disappears. Sound comes back, but the poop not.
On my RTX 3080, Anything above Low for "Foliage Quality" still crashes the game on load.
This game still feels cheap and incomplete. I will just play something else.

Turn foliage interaction off.

Then you might want to keep it on medium after that because high quality foliage is too tall to see anything without foliage interaction.
