Chickens disappearing from chicken coop.

[Gunzblazing]

Seems I have a bug where my coop animals disappear but the coop says I still have them..They come back after restarting server...Very annoying...Anyone else experience this?

Can I ask where you placed the coop.... if the chickens can not walk around freely they will despawn but still provide eggs and poop. If you turn off free range do they slowly return?

Only issue I've seen is when I set mine to 'Free Range' they just stand on the ramp. This may be because I have them set upder a set of 4 foundations (2x2) with windows & a doorway walling them in. Perhaps the foundation & wall colliders are messing with their Navigation AI ;)

would be nice for the dev or someone he knows to make a pinned post of known bugs.

I agree 1000%+

However, given that CG is a 'one man band' I would cut him some slack for not managing a definative formal AAA game website with WIKI and lists of additions & bugs.

It would be nice to have though ... seeing a list of bugs/requests CG has formally recognized and plans to implement (timeline?) ... perhaps Trello woul be a good free start? https://trello.com/ This also could be religated to some of his die hard fans he is in contact with (we know you are out there).

I placed it against base foundation....I will try moving it away and see what happens..When i turn off free range they dont come back, but it says I have 2/8 in coop and i am getting eggs and fertilizer...

I believe there is a rare bug that can occur with the animal housing that leads to this issue. A player kindly sent me their save-game where this issue is reproducible, so i'll be patching it as soon as possible. Thanks for the reminder and your patience ;)

It isnt rare, happens all the time for me.... I am assuming because the coop is under my base with not a lot of area for them to get out from under and into the open space outside...
First log into game I can take them off free range and they will return/appear in the coop, but if I set them free range again they leave of course... then try to recall them again, they don't come back... restarting the game fixes it, kind of annoying but not really a big deal
Another base I had similar issues, but I noticed they were getting stuck on parts of the base that I thought they would have been able to go under... looked like they had a hard time finding a path back to the coop even though there was plenty of gaps to go through

knighthawk, I fenced in the animal pen when I first started, now I don't, I just put it out in the open. The animals will wander in the area and not wander off, they are easy to catch while they are out.
