Hi @Kikigirl. I direct this Q to you because of your game knowledge and your bug list.
Does your list show the disappearing thrall bug to be specific to a particular game setting.
I myself haven’t lost any thralls for yonks, but I don’t play Officials, only Private or SP.
Is this random thrall extermination to be found only on the official servers.
Just curious.
Post Note: Thank you to the Frowny Face Bot.
There’s quite a few bugs regarding disappearing thralls.
While following sometimes thralls will get stuck and die. Sometimes it’s from NPCs/wildlife/monsters, on occasion I believe the game might have trouble figuring out where the thrall is supposed to be and it basically deletes it as a debugging measure.
If we’re talking disappearing thralls as in they sink into foundations this largely might be a server specific issue. It started winter 2023/2024 with an update and never really got resolved. Certainly not as bad as it was many months ago but players still see their thralls/mounts deep in terrain and building pieces.
If you’re asking about the crafter/worker thralls disappearing and dying then that is only specific to Living Settlements and it doesn’t matter where you play as long as it is enabled. Many private servers have disabled it, some because of this, some because it conflicts with mods. I would assume it is not seen often on SP because most of the deaths occur while players are offline and SP is not persistent.
On Officials we do not have an option to stop our LS thralls from dying except for taking artificial measures, because Living Settlements are enabled by default.
Back when LS was launched players would be able to intercept their thralls at 0,0,0, if they caught them before dying. Then the hotfix in December for some reason largely halted the move to 0,0,0, but thralls were still dying. Then the March update restarted the 0,0,0 thing. It’s strange. Possibly multiple causes.
Isn’t there a community manager or someone official who can tell us wtf is going on behind the scenes? It’s been 6 months of LS and still nobody here seems to really know anything, it’s all just speculations.
I am actually getting issues where my thralls are start - stopping their animations at worktables and falling through the floors when it happens on moderate occasions.
So it does exist on single player non-servers still.
Living settlements has turned into a mess especially after this last patch.
I even found a thrall in the foundation at its workstation.
They are getting stuck everywhere now, doorways/fountains/behind other thralls…
I am going to have to disable this on my solo exiles play sessions because the bugs with it have just gotten worse.
Yes i even had to use the rescue option once and then immediately lost a thrall to i don’t know where it went exactly right after it started walking after i rescued it.
There wasn’t even a notice in the event logs, it just vanished.
I gave living settlements all the patience it was due, but it’s just a bugfest right now.
I am a console player,playstation.
For funsies line up a bunch of thralls and then remove and re-place building pieces. Watch what they do
