Errour Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 So as of this recent patch, babies are floating to the ceiling and dying because inventory can not be accessed. Juvenile dinos as well. I do not know if this is only happening to certain dinos, or all. This happened to be 4 new baby mantis. Floated right up to the ceiling and stayed until they died. Interesting feature.

Yggdrassil Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Ark is the gift that keeps on giving. I swear they actually have a department that designs some of these bugs and implements them in each patch just to get more traffic to the website even if only for complaints. No way can some of these thing just be random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHevey0 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I’ve also lost a couple of mantis to the floating. I had triplets the other day and within seconds all three of them started flying. It appears that they give a little wiggle and hop in an animation and they sometime they don’t come down from the hop. I’m hoping low roofs will keep them safe and close to the troughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4stizzy20 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 fr PLZ fix this issue of mantis floating away and through ceilings and off to die kinda ridiculous we spend hours doing stuff for our hard work to literally float the raptor away once we turn our backs or log off for a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errour Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Roofs will not help. For now, the only prevention is to keep them apart from other dinos. If they are too close to other dinos, they will float away. If given a generous amount of their own space, they seem to stay grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like.. if they were fliers or maybe even gas bags?? I could see it. Mantis?? Just mantis? Not all bugs? So weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotMilik Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hello WildCard, can you at least acknowledge that you are aware of the “flying” non full grown Mantis? I have lost a dozen to starvation when they flew up out of trough range. When “flying”, they can be whistled with a follow one and they come back to the ground. When on the ground a follow one whistle does no good, they continue to rise up when you leave render. Center map - pve - official - ps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotMilik Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Mantis that are not full grown are “flying “ up into the air. They seem to bounce and when you leave render they float up. I have had a dozen starve when they left trough distance. Center map, official, pve. when in the air you can whistle follow and they drop back down. On the ground if you whistle follow another dino they still rise up when you leave render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tckvenom Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Same issue I have lost close to 30+ trying to raise females to work melee but every batch 80% die through floating through the cave ceiling to never be seen again, to inevitably die. Please fix this or at least acknowledge you are aware of this bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey moderators this was posted as a Bug Report. Why was it moved to a general discussion? Please move this back to an official bug report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeX Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yeah, put that back to Bug reports! This is nothing to just talk about in a general chat. It is a damn serious bug! We tried everything, from whistled to dino, put it in water to let it float constantly, put it in a dino leash, on wandering in a dino leash, in vacuum cubes, grabbed by a crab. i might have forgotten something, but its actually plain rubbish. It broke with one of the last patches, and already occures for over a week and not a single information, that devs are aware of that? come on...

Cowgirl Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Is this happening to adults too, or just the ones that are not yet mature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeX Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 grown ups dont have this problem. so tamed ones are safe. any baby/juvi/adol. is having this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illuminatus Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I made the same experiences with flying mantises. Originally I did not understand why some starve to death while others next to them were able to eat from the trough. However they start flying and go thru ceilings. There are 2 ceilings on top of them. Sometimes they are on the next floor and sometimes they sit on top of the roof. So my advice until this gets fixed: always add food to their inventory and look after them from time to time. This way they have a chance to survive. P.S.: My next mantis will definitely be named either Peter Pan or Mary Poppins depending on the sex 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDonn Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Gotten this bug too. Posting here to add to the list, but also to add I am hopeful that a solution will be found! LMAO, such a crazy bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHevey0 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 The baby/juvenile/adolescent mantis seem to do a little hop randomly. The mantis will spring up a small amount then float down. As this is random often the next hop will occur before the mantis floats down. This keeps occurring until the mantis is stopped by a collision mesh. Another Dino (e.g a giga) or a skiff will stop the mantis, for some reason structures do not. This happened to me with every mantis I’ve raised, at least 20 now. If they move or are hit they will fall down. The issue is when they float away from a trough and starve. This glitch doesn’t persist into adulthood. It’s almost as if they believe there is a structure below them, similar to a Dino standing on a structure that is destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
