Issues with Shield, Gas Masks, and Flooring

Featured Replies

Since the newest patch several issues have risen. 

1. Gas masks and Shields are slowly being damaged. I have several masks and shields sitting in several chests around the yard, all of them are damaged even thou i have never put them on or used them. None of them are in the Haze.

2. Everything i drop in my base falls threw the floor. All chests, furniture, etc are fine, but if i drop say a grass plank it falls threw the floor. My base is above ground at the oak tree.

3. All my saves now say "unknown location".  It doesn't seem to affect anything but something i thought should be brought up.

4. All my furniture is slowly sinking into the floor. So slow i barely noticed, but i have to pick up each piece and place it back above the floor.

These issues are on Xbox series X.

Forgot to mention i had the quest "kill 5 Larva" but the larva i dug up didn't count toward this quest.

Hey! Those issues sound pretty frustrating, especially when you're trying to keep your gear in good shape and your base intact. Here’s a quick breakdown of potential workarounds and things to try:

  1. Gas Masks and Shields Damage: This sounds like a glitch with the new patch, where items are degrading even when not in use. Until it's patched, try moving these items to different storage locations to see if it helps. Reporting it to the devs might also get it addressed quicker!

  2. Items Falling Through the Floor: Since your base is above ground, this could be an issue with the game’s physics engine not aligning correctly with the base structure. You could try moving items to a lower level or different location until a fix is released.

  3. “Unknown Location” Save Glitch: This seems like a harmless labeling bug, but it’s worth reporting if you haven’t already, just to be safe.

  4. Furniture Sinking: This slow sink issue might be linked to the floor physics bug as well. Picking up each piece and placing it again, as you’re doing, seems like the best option for now.

And for inspiration on some new base flooring, check out these great sites:

Good luck, and hopefully, these bugs get patched up soon!
