Can't draw blood from any animal after the mutation

[sncwyowl]

I don't know why, but it gets a bit frustrating right now that i can't draw blood from any animal anymore after their infection. I literally gave the food for the infection to the wallaby's and the penguins and both were the same. I couldn't draw blood anymore to get stuff for the cure and i really didn't want to execute any animal in this run. Am i the only one right now?

I can't even store blood before because i wanted to try it this way, but it gives away everything even the blood i wanted to store...

Edit: I just nailed coming through the wallaby enclosure because I knew which one of them mutates and could draw the blood in beforehand. But only because I needed to restart because I wanted to draw the blood and didn't know if this was a bug.

I'm in the same situation.
I want to help mutated animals without killing them...

Yeah, I've been struggling with drawing blood after mutation since the last update. Its possible, but its really hit and miss. Even if I tranq them first, after mutation its almost impossible to draw blood from the uninfected animals.

Hi, I think I found out what the issue was. The most recent update that ironically fixed most blood drawing issues, can actually cause this issue. From my experience, IF you feed the mutated animal the "meat" food to calm it down, you will no longer be able to take any blood (even if you tranq. the non-infected animals).
What I did was tranq. the mutated animal so it sleeps, tranq'ed another animal and drew blood from them, then tranq'ed the mutated animal once more (even if it was still 'asleep', as it'll wake up momentarily and then go back to sleep) to buy some time to make the antidote and shoot them.
This has worked for me so far, hope this helps-- at least until another wave of patches come through.

Yes I am having the same bug ever since the past patch where you can draw blood at any time unless the animal is scared. You are able to at first to get the test results but when the infected animal mutates you can't anymore

I tried it and thank god you saved me there. Even though it's sadly a harder way to do it, it's at least playable right now
