Water Wells and Fish Traps dont fill up

Game mode: [Singleplayer]
Problem: [Bug]
Region: [NA]


It seems that fish traps and water wells (both regular and large) are not refilling after server restart. I could not find a concrete answer to this topic anywhere so I will raise the question myself. Is this a known issue on the PS4? Have the devs mentioned anything about this?
This is game breaking in my opinion as in the majority of the building area of the game is away from water sources.


Steps on how to reproduce issue:

  1. Place water well or large water well [or trap], “wow look at that well [or trap] working fine, this helps me so much since there is no river [or an animal source of food] on top of this mountain”.
  2. Woah, look at the time! its 4 o’clock in the morning and i have work in a few ours. I better get off this game and get some sleep.
  3. Leave local session, turn off the game.
  4. Get back on excited to play the game later that day, water wells and traps are empty and will not refill over time no mater how long you wait.

Yeah, I get that as well. One of several reasons why I wish we could pick up (repack) all non building block items and deploy them again. I have to destory and do a new one.

I was told for fish traps to place on foundations but does not matter for me. First restart they disappear. Place again they stop working after one harvest. Dismantle and place again and they seem to work fine. Been that way since launch and on each of my playthroughs. I will probably just skip foundations next time. Bet it stays the same cycle just like my first game without foundations under them

… and still bugged out a month later. Unbelievable
