Pet aphid constantly getting stuck?

[PlumbusFungi]

Anyone else having issues with their pets getting stuck in the map in random places? Mine will randomly end up in unreachable places of the map to where I cannot pet it and it will become unhappy. The only way I have noticed that will fix it is completely shutting down and relaunching the game. I tried to use the debug feature and reloading a previous save, but neither worked. When I went to my pet house, it would still show my pet on the map, but it was under a rock or something weird. The little icon also shows its location on the screen, but you cannot interact at all when approaching.

Still having this issue, but now my pet is stuck in the Oak lab. No idea how it got in there as I wasn't even in the area. I tried relaunching the game, nothing. Went up to the pet to try to get it to follow me out and it wont.

Same thing is happening to me.  3 "pets" stuck inside the rocks of the upper yard retaining wall. I can look at them through the pet house and see and hear them scuttling around under there but can't interact with them beyond that.

Same, still having the issues. Even had my aphid stuck in the foundation of my building. Had to destroy it to get to it because the noise they make when they are stuck somewhere gets realllllly annoying really fast. Then had to either coax it out, or just kill it.. Coaxing is not easy since the whole "call pet" function is super finicky. RIP Phiddy cent

They should add an option when u interact with the pet house it should port the pet directly in front of it. That way it would be easier to recover one which got stuck or lost somewhere on the map.

Had 3 pets before giving up. One is not in a rock but stuck on a lillypad so i can at least visit him and get the inventory to come back up, however he will disappear after 30mins or when logging n out so anynhear n maymmsswsbeè

This. (via pet house?)

When moving Bases from Mystery Machine to the large flat stone right next to the grill it did take hours to get them to the new Base. 

Same for "ending" bug raids (via Gamerepair option?) - right after the pets got to the new location - I build a "pet house" - then a bug raid started - where apparently one(?) got stuck somewhere. (It was nowhere to be seen) so I couldn't end the raid -> therefore not safe. Gladly the pets were still there -> but had lost 4 hours building around them, to make sure they are not going to get eaten or die for whatever reasons.
 

Keep up the great work, Devs!

This is STILL an issue. Nearly 6 months later & Obsidian has done less than nothing to fix this problem. I've given up on using my pet, it's completely incapable of following me. It couldn't even find the door in my shelter, I had to dismantle & rebuild half of it because the stupid thing couldn't work out what a door was FFS? Are you ever going to fix this Obsidian or is it just another New Vegas style bug that you expect to PC community to mod out & console owners be damned?

You are right.

Bump.

For the love of God, please either give us the ability to teleport our pets to our pet house, pick them up, or give them the ability to path up stairs. None of us are going to build our bases on the ground.

Good news! In the latest update of the game there were some options added to Game Repair. One that should keep your sweet insect pets safe and by your side. 

I am sorry that so many pets were lost in the past, and please don't hesitate to contact us if you run into additional issues.
