My eye bone vanished, how can I recover it?

[Liberté]

I know it's supposed to drop when you disconnect but I came back and spent 2 days looking for my chester, at my base, at every path I walked, Chester is just gone. I think the game bugged. Is there a command to bring him back with my items that were inside?

Alright, here's a few things:
Did you lose the eye bone anywhere near water? It sinks in water, but will wash up somewhere on the shore. May be worth checking the shores if you think it may have sunk.

Have you been going into caves with the eyebone on you? Chester can't go into the caves and you will drop the eyebone upon entering. You might want to check around sinkholes for chester if so.

Are you opposed to using console commands? If not, you should be able to use c_gonext("chester_eyebone") to find it.
If the eyebone has been disassembled at the molecular level and no longer exists, you can get a new one with c_spawn("chester_eyebone").

As for the stuff in chester- If you had shadow chester, his stuff will return to his inventory upon making a new shadow chester. If you didn't, you'll have to search for it. It should stick around on the ground, but some items may get eaten by the wildlife depending on where he died.

Hope this helps!

Ok I used the command and he was indeed on the shore so apparently I lost him in some kind of boat shenanigan and didn't notice. Thank you!

"If the eyebone has been disassembled at the molecular level and no longer exists", That got a good chuckle out of me lol. Can that actually happen though? I don't think even krampus can steal the eye bone and disappear with it. Don't think splumonkeys/powder monkeys can steal it either, but even if so, you can still kill them to get it back.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some eye bone dissolving bugs, DST can be quite janky at times (if you've ever read a list of bug fixes you'll know what I mean). There is only one sure-fire way to lose it though (as far as I'm aware):
According to the wiki, Krampus /can/ steal the eye bone, but it has to be inside a backpack to do so. At that point, you're basically asking for it.

if your desperate click ~ and type in c_goto(chester_eyebone) idk if thats the exact command for the eyebone but it will try to autofill it for you
