Game mode: [Offline | Singleplayer]
Problem: [Bug]
Region: [PEGI]
Note: This post is about already tamed thralls that are deployed and following you
I’ve lost a number of thralls that were in follow mode and who were trying to approach me while I was moving around my base. The thrall falls from a height (possibly through the floor) and seemingly ends up taking fall damage, or is instantly killed. Often I’ll be startled by a sudden death gurgle when busy with something else and find the thrall’s body right outside the door or next to the building. Thralls falling through floors has been a problem for a while but I’m not sure whether this is related to it, since they normally don’t seem to take any damage from it.
-The event log notes that the thrall died but the cause is empty
-There are no enemies nearby or status effects involved
-Offline singleplayer, no other players
-It appears to happen when the base has foundations and ceilings that reach a few tiles above ground with stairs
-The last time it happened my base’s floor was 3 tiles high, with stairs leading to the door into the structure
-It may be related to the fact that when walking up or down stairs, thralls sometimes accelerate to ridiculous speeds (I’ve seen two accidentally launch themselves off cliffs I built stairs near this way)
Steps on how to reproduce issue:
- Build moderately sized structures several tiles above ground, complete with stairs
- Have a thrall in follow mode, move onto structure
- Move away from the thrall
- Thrall dies in honorable combat with the air
