Scorched - the invisible mantis'
How the hell do you resolve the issue of Mantis's vanishing down to a lower level or under pillars in a visual glitch "ever" single time you leave render? You literally have to punch thin air to get them to appear.

It causes all sorts of annoyance...has anyone figured out a good way to set mantis' up in a kibble farm without having to deal with constant aggravation?

Haven't got a solution for you but second the notion that this is annoying and I built on pillars 5 high.....

This also happens with Kapros on tree platforms, even with ceilings or foundations between the dino and the platform. Looks like it falls down to the ground below the platform, but can be walked through. When this ghost Kapro is punched, it makes a noise and the animation but doesn't get hurt, can't access inventory or ride it from the ground. No idea how to solve this.

you can do a little workaround i found where you go to where it was until you run into an invisible wall, the mantis' hitbox, then simply punch it. it should teleport back up

Farm wild mantis for eggs just make an 8x8 at least 3 high pillar cage and keep dropping female mantisis inside (with at least one male) most of the time when you leave the area and come back there will be an egg there then just collect it with a wip. MAKE sure you build pillar cage where they spawn so the mantis don't despawn. I did this with about 30 mantisis and got about 20 eggs in about 3 hours

As for the dinos falling through ceilings I can't help with his I'm having the same problem

Also for tamed mantis farms build adobe base in the desert make sure mantis stand on the sand and I found using aircons next to each mantis helps alot

Yea i hate this too, its been reported a few times already. I've found that if i use a whip where the mantis are soposed to be I can get them all back up to the right spot. They are completly bugged for everyone on the offical servers I play on.
