Caged Animals Changing Colors Issue

  • This update I've been working on my animal commendations and have seen a new glitch. It's been several months so I'm not sure when it came about but at least in this patch the animals I catch can change colors usually after I leave them on the ship.

    I haven't tested yet if I they still count as their original color but it's incredibly frustrating. It usually seems to happen when I get far enough away from my ship that they are perhaps "reloading" but it has also happened while I am still on the same island and just going across the island to catch another animal.

    My friend also had the glitch happen in his client, on one occasion the animals changed color for him but remained their original color for me so we just made sure I turned them in.

    Please fix this, animal voyages are already tedious but they are much worse when you have to re catch the same animal multiple times.

  • I tried singing Cyndi Lauper - True Colors to a piggie but it didn't work

    I see your true colors
    And that's why I love you
    So don't be afraid to let them show
    Your true colors
    True colors are beautiful
    Like a rainbow

  • OP are you telling me that a Gold Snake will turn into say a Blue Snake after you walk away from it's cage and the ship?

    Is that what you are saying?

  • I've had black chickens appear white to my crewmate.

  • Pretty sure it is just a visual glitch and they will count as the correct colour when you hand them in

    I can already confirm this, but it still makes things really confusing.

  • @personalc0ffee Yes, exactly that.

  • @galactic-geek I truly hope that's the case so far I've murdered the color changed animal and re-caught it, I didn't want to risk turning in a animal that wasn't needed in the voyage (there by not prompting the "this animal is needed at another outpost prompt) and losing the crate and thereby my way of finishing the voyage.

    That is good to know. Interesting glitch, though.

  • @personalc0ffee I've also confirmed for myself today that it is only visual.

    Caught a black snake, it turned red, turned it in and still completed the voyage.

    That is good to hear, hope they fix it soon. Very jarring for the players.
