I've collected and placed a whole skeleton on my base but it disappeard forever.

Now there is only an empty pad left without a creature inside.
It removes any fun from the game when a bug takes away your efforts :(

Did you click the button to pack it up when you completed it?
If so you will have a blueprint for that specific skeleton in in the build menu. (it looks like the platforms but has a creature name instead)
You only get one. It's just a means to relocate the skeleton

Did you place the skeleton builder and then build a skeleton and left the builder sitting there?

What you want to place, is the actual skeleton itself after it is assembled. It acts like any other decoration (such as glitched objects found on glitched worlds), it's an item in your inventory you can place.

Yes, I got it packed and then placed as a new object, you cant just build it and leave without collecting it. But that blueprint is one-time use and now its gone.

I'm pretty sure you can just not click the pack up button and leave it on the pad, just exit out of the menu once you've added the parts...
But if it failed to place correctly and disappeared, then that's a bummer.
Anytime I encounter little bugs like that, I just reload and try again, it's very rare that my restore point is any more than a few mins back...

I've killed the game with alt+f4 instantly when I've realized that the skeleton is gone but it has already written the savegame somehow so its gone, yeah.
A bit later I've also lost another one skeleton this way. Two previous was okay (one of them was destroyed by me by accident because it had a huge "hitbox" and I've hit X on it instead of a wall... my bad, no complains. almost. building mode is frustrating sometimes.)

last time I've build that thing it has been build EMPTY. I mean, I've constructed a thing, PACKED it, it got into my inventory. Then I've placed it but its instanty empty and I dont have it in my backpack anymore.
Previous one disappeard after I teleported to another base and went back.
I dont understand how it works.

I've got the same problem, all my skeletons disappeared after a while or when I tried to move them around the base. Now I have only empty pads. It's really frustrating.

There are two types of saves... one is the autosave, which can be triggered by certain actions as well as just after a certain amount of time.
The other is the Restore point. This is only overwritten when you exit your ship (except on derelict freighters, or NPC freighters) and when you use a save point.

The autosave may have saved immediately after you tried to make the skeleton, but the restore point should have been perfectly fine.

I built two complete skeletons and sold them for about 500K each. I think that is the intent: to create them and sell them. Similar to the making food dishes and selling those?

I can make something like 300kk in less than 5 minutes and there is nowhere to spend it.
Money is just numbers here. You can as well cheat them via save editor, not much difference, really.
Pretty sure all this skeleton thing is purely decorative, there is no point to sell them unless you just started to play the game, then yes, its profitable, kinda.

Anyway, every new update dissapoints me more and more.
Just have 3 game crashes in a row, things disappear, netcode works like sh%t and finally i got stuck flying inside the Nexus (its an old bug actually).
I would have been happy with this update, really, if only it would be playable as intended.
I always wanted to make a museum-like base in NMS, I originally wanted to use the wonder projectors but you're limited to just a very few creatures there.
But this bone platforms dont work at all lol.

Hello,

I went to verify but the skeletons I placed after finishing the expedition are still where I placed them. I did not try to move them in build mode tho...

I will go on building that museum then !!

Note I play on Steam Linux + proton no mods, main version
