So, I’m doing the expedition and trying to not get irritated about it as is usual for me.
Unfortunately, the game isn’t playing along with that. I’m on one of the moons of the starting gas giant. The paradise world. I’m trying to find all the animals so I can retrieve some things I actually like rather than the stating gear.
Most of the animals are aquatic so I jump into the water… I haven’t tried finding fish in quite a few updates but it appears some of them spawned in a water-cave under the lake I found. I dig down and… the moment I enter any hole in the ground while underwater I’m returned to the surface.
This lake isn’t deep so I’m fighting buoyancy the entire time but being snapped back to the surface doesn’t seem like an intended behavior.
It’s a known bug. Basically the game thinks you’ve gotten stuck and is trying to unstuck you by teleporting you above ground. 😬
Just pick a different planet/moon and find animals there.
It’s an exploration game not a checklist. Have fun while trying to figure things out even though they may not be straight forward or easy
Alright, that makes two moons where I’ve tried and failed to find all the animals. I’ve got some nanites so I guess I’ll just go to the anomaly and get what I can afford.
I believe there are 5 Moons right? This game requires some patient. You dont just rush through it and if you try, you won’t have a good time
Honestly, I’ve never really liked the expeditions to begin with. I’m only doing it because something’s broken on my main save preventing me from getting a bioship and the end reward from this one is a bioship.
The whole ‘start again without any of the stuff you’ve spent days/weeks/months/years procuring’ has never been appealing to me on it’s own but Hello Games tends to be good at coming up with extrinsic rewards for putting up with it.
