Truck disappearing inside of caves.

[Laodent]

I've driven a Tractor down into a cave and if you get out of the truck and run far enough to unload the cave the tractor will disappear. I assume it's falling through the map? I've reproduced the issue a few times now in the large cave under the north edge of the rocky desert.

In case this is an issue with this cave specifically there is also invisible water at the north-western entrance of the cave.

I have this bug as well - actually both, Truck and Water in the Northern Rocky Desert cave.

I can also reproduce the Tractor disappearing problem, but I also know where it goes - at least in my case. It is beamed up to the surface, judging by the map to the exact same spot I left it in in the cave, only above ground.

Happens every time I leave a tractor in this cave, haven't tried it elsewhere. My guess is that once you are far enough from the vehicle the game checks it's position and since it is below the surface, the game might think it has glitched through the ground and resets it to the surface directly above and thus out of the cave.

I'm having a somewhat similar problem, my Tractor keeps teleporting to -1120, 676 (the entrance to the cavern with the two pure quartz nodes and the limestone node) whenever it's left alone for a while. Very annoying since my home base is not close to that location.

Teleporting? That's likely what my tractor is doing as well. I didn't even think to check if it had teleported to an entrance. Still very strange behavior. Perhaps a precaution to make sure it doesn't fall through like I assume it did.

If you want to find your tractor again, also check on the surface of the map directly above the cave. That is what keeps happening to mine (as described above).

Sometimes it will go through the map into the void; other times it will warp to the surface. You can work around this by always parking on foundations. Really surprised that isn't fixed for 1.0.

I reported this issue WAAAAY back in 0.6. If you're using your vehicle as a personal transport (not assigned to a route) and walk away from a very short range of that vehicle, then it despawns and re-appears at the point it was generated.

VERY ANNOYING, please fix this. I use my truck to haul extra materials when I'm making long treks and builds (like rail systems) and I find myself having to walk a VERY long way back to get those supplies (and the truck).

wild how this is still occurring in 2025
