Lost my cuddlefish

[Jojo]

hey, i own this on the epic games launcher but there's no discussions on there, i don't know if this is a bug or not but my cuddlefish completely disappeared for no reason, i put him near my base near my lifepod, i stopped using the moon pool near him to make sure i didn't run into him, i did EVERYTHING and i reloaded my save and he was gone, does anyone have an answer to this? i'm crying and i just want my little cuddlefish boy back

He isn't gone, they just have a pretty far roaming area. If you're that desperate, there are 3 cuddlefish eggs in the game I know of. So you find a replacement.

i searched all around my base and i didn't find him, and he never goes out of the area of my base to the point where i can't see him, he's just gone. I miss him so much that whenever i play this game now i'll just be reminded of him, this is the worst bug in the entire game and i know it was anything else but a bug, he was there before i closed the game and as soon as i reloaded the save he was gone, I don't even know if i can continue with the game anymore.

In one of my playthroughs, I made the mistake of hatching and releasing all sorts of... er, icky creatures, and, apparently, they chased my poor cuddlefish way off by attacking it. Just by accident, I found him swimming all alone out over the red grass area, up near the surface. I went home and ganked every one of those nasties and had him follow me, and he was fine after that, never left.

I'm not sure if it was the crabsquids or the mesmers (I still think they're incredibly beautiful and really wanted to have them around the base, but, oh well), but the crabsquids and stalkers and mesmers and sharks had been attacking and killing every living thing (including each other) and making godawful noise for quite some time. Lesson learned...

I hatch them and feed them to the bio-reactor, now. OMG, the crashfish last FOREVER in there.

yeah i don't know, i keep all my boys that i hatch in the alien containment but maybe one of them glitched and ate him? i don't know, but i really did grow a real connection to him and it felt like he was real in a way. I'm gonna go get another cuddlefish too. Just love em too much and they make me feel not alone.

Dont Worry there are 3 in game. I too lost one and became sad, found it later in shallows near gasopods thingy . It can,t die it has a very high health.

Hi! I'm pretty sure you could spawn it in using console commands as a last resort.

There are 5 cuddlefish to be found plus any that are in time capsules. In one playthrough I had 7 cuddlefish.

quick update: i got another cuddlefish by finding an egg in the degasi seabase under the island! i love him so much!

They're literally bombs with fins so that kinda makes sense. Explosives contain a ton of energy after all.

crashfish are cute but they the sounds they make give me anxiety

[miklkit]

Me too. Especially the BOOM sound.

Naw, the scariest part is the GRGRGRGRUGRUGEURG sound they make they progressively gets louder as they swim towards you with hatred and death in their... Er... Eye.

Its because theres predators in the area if theres stalkers roaming around your base it could be why!

I spawned in another one with debug I wasn’t having the games ♥♥♥♥ I play for the cuddle fish and the cuddlefish alone

Avoid the Lava Zone. They burn up in there.
