Thank you for taking the time to report this situation to us.
Regarding this, does it happen with all elevators or just one in specific? What happens that causes the follower to die? Could you possibly share a video of the occurrence?
Hi Ritual Ground, it seems very likely this is linked to the other reports of thralls taking fall damage - see links below to a couple of threads on the topic - one of which you yourself ‘passed to the team’
(and that’s just the one’s I could find from a search - from memory, we’ve seen several other threads and bug reports on this topic since the update to ch4).
It seems that somehow Fall Damage has been switched on for thralls - this would mean that any player using an elevator would risk their follower impersonating a lemming and dying.
I thought I had a thrall fall when teleporting TO the sinkhole. It took 75% damage, but lived. This was the first time I encountered a thrall taking damage while using a map room, so I thought it was a new “feature” to avoid players attacking right out of a map room transport.
Then I stopped using thralls.
But this idea of a thrall taking significant fall damage does sound more likely.
Idea to reproduce: Take a junk thrall with you as you approach a map room from a specific direction with your back facing the pit at the sinkhole (upon exiting). Repeat until successful.
