Animals had food, water, no negative statuseffect and full HP.

Hi! Did you verify Steam files? Also, can you tell me:
- which game mode were you playing
- what kind of animals were they?
- were the animals tied up?
- did they have babies?
- what were you doing when you were away?
- did you save&quit?
- was this solo or multiplayer game?

The despawns are suddenly and random.
yes, i verified it after the first despawn.
Im playing easiest peaceful non story mode without carnivores and without other agressive animals.
Tapirs, Capibaras and Peccarys despawned.
Tied up in pen, tied up out of pen and untied in pen. When im close to them and when im far away. The despawn happend suddenly.
No babies. I cant finish to tame them. They suddenly reset to 0% taming progress or die because of poisoning or despawn. They never despawn while im carring them but sometimes when i put them down to pick up some food on the way to my pen.
What im doing: looking for food (bananas, and other things) or sleeping next to them or looking for antidote plants or catch another animal or hunting other animals.
Yes, i save&quit. I played 10 days in the taming update on my old save, I got 15 animals: 3 died (the 4 dead are my fail, 3 died on poisoning and 1 died to test to kill it in my pen) and 12 despawned.
its a solo game.

We've looked into it and the issue here is that you built your pen on a roof. This shouldn't be possible and it is getting fixed in the next patch.

I "stored" my animals in the 2nd pen (that with the troughs) on the other side of the landing stage.
The one on the roof has no troughs. I try to destroy the pen on the roof and tame some animals again.

And one despawned again while cutting wood and one while sleeping.

This is the same for me yet my Pen is on the floor. I managed to get one to 100% then it plummeted to 0%? Went to get more food off of anaconda island and one disappeared when I got back again... 😡 Meh

Full food, water, etc

Did you update your game and verify files integrity?

Hi The game is updated and tbf no I don't verify the files each time I launch it... Are you saying I have to do this each time I launch the game? I've verified this time let's see what happens. Are the animals meant to plummet in trust all the time? I walk a away (not far) and come back and they're at Zero again? I haven't move off Anaconda Island where my base is

Based on a similar experience I had w/ trust dropping for no reason, I think your pen may be bugged. That's just a guess, but when I destroyed the pen housing the animals I had "trust issues" w/ & built a new one, positioned slightly differently, the problem was solved.

If you wish to reference it, here's the bug report I filed:

Verifying files integrity can be helpful, especially after an update, but you don't have to do it every time you launch the game.
That being said, there is a "trust issue", like nextgengranny said and we are already working on a fix.

Hey there!
Just to sum up: We did couple changes that fixed some cases of animals escaping from the pen, so the issue should not occur that frequently. However if it still somehow occurs to you on version 2.3.1 please let us know. Thanks for your help!

Thanks guys... I'll have another bash. Just another quick Q too just in case my map is bugged... In survival mode is Jakes tent meant to be there or not? The Omega tents are there but Jake's tent isn't. Thanks
