IS-0091 missing after update?

[Retired]

Kia ora all,

Spent the better half of yesterday being spooked by IS-0091, however I've reached the point where you need 4 leyak essences to open a back door and reset the security turrets and IS-0091 has not spawned for 2 hours

I have since restarted the game and spent another 2 hours growing and eating greyebs and hunting around for my favourite fellow, but to no avail. I am playing solo so there is nobody else it could be attached to at the moment

Am I missing something? Yesterday I could barely go 30 minutes without seeing it, and yet today it hasn't appeared once.

I'm essentially soft-locked by the requirement for 4 leyak essences, and am currently having to use the forklift strat to bypass this part of the game and fight the tarrasque

You can use the specific food item to summon them.
But for us, this fella spawned around 3 or 4 times after last update.

As said above, even eating the greyebs has not caused it to spawn. I've spent the last 2 hours growing and eating them and I am still waiting for it to spawn

For some reason, the update balancing IS-0091 made it weirdly bugged, if you noticed it isn't coming after a while, then leave the server you are in and re-host, it should 'debug' IS-0091 from its nacho break, expect it to be here a few minutes after restarting the server, and potentially when you come back to base from an expedition.

They should just make it so the Leyak never materializes for anyone but wanders the map around players as a invisible entity. When you consume the item, it becomes visible to you, but also to anyone else consuming it. So it gets attached to the first person it sees at that point.

But if you never consume the item, it won't bother people who don't want to deal with them.

Third restart and it is finally back, if anyone is having similar issues, ie: you don't see it for over half an hour, try restarting the server, or if single player, just restart the game

Have seen a couple of times now where it can spawn inside of a wall, so I'm guessing it got stuck there and never despawned

I've restarted the game twice, he's permanently stopped spawning for me. Thankfully I already had all the needed materials from him to finish the game. But yeah he's definitely bugged right now.

If you stay around places with X-ray turret, he can be dead before he even show himself xd

That turret does have a small-ish radius. At least smaller than I would have hoped. But if placed right, it is still very effective.

For everyone who's having trouble, I discovered a few things about IS-0091, restarting your server works just fine, it just needs the necessary conditions to appear. You don't have to restart the server three times or the entire game.

IS-0091 dissapears no matter what, when you are damaged by an enemy, it happened at least three times to me, so I can at least confirm it that way.

IS-0091 can only appear outside your field of view, turn your back around for long periods of time. It usually spawns very far away from you and starts creeping on you on distances of about 5 to 8 meters, usually will spawn where your back is facing, and it could be anywhere, but its usually out of your FOV, and behind corners.

IS-0091 has trouble spawning on certain parts of the map, open spaces obviously, but I noticed some spaces in containment block or even wildlife pens where it never even spawned.

IS-0091 over the course of your session will stop spawning eventually, its unknown why, but sometimes it just stops appearing entirely. Good or bad, really up to you.

If you really want to see if IS-0091 spawns, I've had multiple occasions of it waiting for me to come out of portal worlds, the most common appearance is the Flathill world, where when coming back, its usually on the first catwalk of Silo 3.
