Stop Eggs falling through the ground
Devs, the stuff you've done for the egg-laying system is solid, and very helpful, but it's time to address the elephant in the room; eggs falling through the terrain when laid, preventing them from being collected.

Is there anything that can be done about this, and if so, how soon? As it stands, if you build your base in the wrong location, you're basically screwed, as half your eggs, if not more, fall through the earth, never to be recovered. And right now, the "wrong location" includes pretty much anywhere with a sub-terrain layer.

I was thinking the same...no point in fixing the eggs if players can't collect them:-)
I have 0 eggs in my base...

EDIT:the eggs arrived!!!!!:-) Not so many but arrived, made also by males, but they arrived:-)

This definitely needs to be fixed. At least with them laying in real time it should be easier to find a good spot for them to stand.

The problem is there shouldnt be such a need. First increased by 200% than another 50% than 2x when they are mate boosted, but what is the point if 90% of them are going to the nether. And I doubt there will be nice locations "if" the base generally is already in a bad spot.

First, I agree, it should not be an issue, you just kind of stated the obvious. However, I've found a few spots inside my breeding pens, fairly specific spots, where if I leave the dino there, they will consistently lay eggs without falling through the world. If I move the dino to another spot inside the pen and put a different one there, I can consistently get their egg. So while it isn't a fix, being able to see the eggs in real time will indeed make it easier to find a good spot until the Dev's figure out how to fix it.

This thread isn't going to suddenly make them aware... which I am sure they already are. Probably not an easy fix considering eggs, players, and dinos and still glitch through the map. Probably requires a serious fix and a lot of work, but it will get done.
