Bug Reports
Post all Bug Reports here if you wish to properly report one.

Because there is no guarantee they will be read if you post in front page comments instead.
Strictly no Trolling: Intentional false reports or lies/defamation attempts will be strictly dealt with and reported.

Known Bugs:
  1. This bug is from original Ark, not due to this mod.
    Pets put on Follow but are Stuck far from player will enter into a stasis mode automatic by ark engine because it is deemed irrelevant.
    This makes the pet's collision bugged with the environment, causing it to fall through the ground like how player corpses sometimes do.
    It slowly continues to fall, through the ground, through the ocean below, and through the world until it reaches the terminal boundary point where it ceases to exist. Ceasing to exist doesn't trigger the death notification.
    Solution: Don't wait too long for it to sink away, act fast and go find it.

Any reason why the pet finder doesnt work sometimes? Like for example I am following a line and it stops working completely.

Try backing off abit and using it again. If you notice the line markers only disappear within a certain radius, that means you're either right on top of or below the pet. If it's stuck flying in the sky, it has to be in visual distance for you to use the finder directly underneath it that will recall the pet to land on the ground.

I have been having trouble finding pets that were set to 'follow' someone or something and are too far away to follow there is no line of + to find them

@Dragoon Ramos Once the pet has been set to follow someone, only that person can find it.

Information concerning Pets Disappearing with no Death Notification: vanilla Ark bug
FYI this bug is not from this mod and even occurs on unmodded servers.
  1. After rigorous testing, i discovered that pets put on Follow but are Stuck far from player will enter into a stasis mode automatic by ark engine because it is deemed irrelevant.
  2. This makes the pet's collision bugged with the environment, causing it to fall through the ground like how player corpses sometimes do.
  3. It slowly continues to fall, through the ground, through the ocean below, and through the world until it reaches the terminal boundary point where it ceases to exist. Ceasing to exist doesn't trigger the death notification.
  4. Remember this bug only happens to pets put on follow and gets stuck far from players, and slowly 'sinks'. I recommend you act fast if you want to save your pet from glitching out.

@gRaTefuL pet finder, corpse finder, and the oil one that you have
YMD  [developer] 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:16am 
@puchuumetal Have you tried reinstalling the mod with deleting the mod files first before copying/downloading again? Mod files are inside Ark/ShooterGame/Content/Mods/.
And have you tried if singleplayer game works for you?
Puchuumetal 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:34pm
