Where is my Cuddlefish?

[cat_transcendentem]

I was playing on PS5 and this is the closest forum I can access. My cuddlefish was swimming around inside a base of mine (i glitched it in to prevent death) and then I tried to spawn an alien containment tank as he was inside the area the tank would be built in.

He disappeared. How do I find him? His name is Boey. Like buoy, but pronounced "Boe-EE"

And is he.. dead? :(

EDIT:
Rest in peace Boey. You ha- wait.. LOADING A SAVE! YES! HAHA!

yeah i think he may have been eliminated by the game. the same thing use to happen with reapers too. sorry homie, if it makes u feel any better he wasnt killed he was deleted. i suppose it is also very possible that he may have ping ponged to 0,0,0 coordinates. but i wouldnt get your hopes up.

Why didn't you just built the ACU? I'm not trying to sound indifferent, but it seems like this was caused by user impatience/flippancy.

As Bonger said, Boey didn't suffer anything at all, and since this was a simple mistake, I don't see why you couldn't just "spawn" Boey back in, and be a bit more careful.

Cheers.

There are several more cuddlefish eggs in the world. Go find another one.

rest in peace boey

You vaporized him with the habitat builder. Think of it like telefragging -- you replaced his matter with new matter. He's gone. That used to be a viable way of killing all creatures, including leviathans, but the game doesn't let you do that outside of your base anymore.

Sorry for your loss, I always put my cuddlefish In the bioreactor to keep them safe! :} lol

The Leviathans find them to be a tasty snack also!

And the look of a cuttlefish's face on the windshield of a sea glide is priceless.

And the mayhem they cause when you throw your cuddle fish in an aquarium full of sand sharks, The little guy running around in circles while the sand sharks are chasing him
Provides a 10/10 on the entertainment value.

I sometimes like to grab onto a Cuddlefish with my propulsion canon and then swing it around and beat everything to death around me.

It's a good calorie burner too.

Even made friends with a Boneshark this way.

They taste better if you cook and eat em after giving them a few treats. It's like added crutons to the salad!

I prefer my Cuddlefish steamed over a hot vent, or slow roasted over some lava.
now that's some good eating. :}

I wonder if lava cooked vs Lava Lizard grilled Cuddlefish has any distinct difference in flavor?

some people put them in their bio reactors

The original poster apparently reloaded their save and their cuddlefish seems to be back.

They used the animation to clip the cuddlefish through the base, when they placed their alien containment inside the base the cuddlefish was on the way, and the game removed it.

That being said, the subject deviated so I'm locking this thread.
