Hey everyone,
So I just had a weird possible bug happen in the game. I have a base on the root to the west of the light next to the south side of the oak tree. And I noticed a wolf spider had got "stuck" under the root on the eats side of the light (right next to the south entrance into the oak tree). So I proceeded to kill it and was able to down it with only arrows and not leaving my base. It was night time when I finally fell the beast, so I decided to sleep so I could grab the parts in the morning. Once my character woke I climbed up to the light, and floated to the root it was under. Now up until I floated down I could see the corpse was still there. However once I jumped down almost exactly where it should've been it was gone. My arrows were still there, but the body had disappeared.
Anyone else have something like this happen? I wasn't sure if it glitched through the ground, or got taken by some other bug, or just despawned a little too quickly. I wasn't sure if anyone knows if the despawn timer is quicker for corpses that it is items. Or if there is something else at play here. Just a little bummed because I only need one more spider chunk and spider fang and this might have been my chance.
Thanks everyone.
EDIT: Wanted to add that I'm playing on the Xbox version of the game with the latest update.
