Hi Lead_head420, welcome to the forums,

Thank you for reporting this issue - and for your humour included in the report, it gave me a laugh when reading :slight_smile:

This is an issue that the team is aware of and have been working on a fix for. In case you have not seen it yet I have a post with all the recent updates here: [Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Loss of interactions - everything I’ve added is in the top post so you don’t need to read through the mass of comments below.

It is believed to be caused by items or creatures falling through the terrain. If you noticed if anything in particular fell through the terrain on your island please let me know. The issue is not triggered immediately so it could be something that occurred earlier in the save.

The good news is the fix for the PS4 version is currently with Sony and awaiting approval. Once approved the team can publish the fix and it should also work retroactively so you wont need to start a new save.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write out this report and share the videos of your experience here. I’ll keep a note of this as reference for the team as you mentioned noticing it occuring after using the crafting menu too.

Thank you for the quick response I read thru [Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Loss of interactions shortly after I posted lol and was very happy to see your company was on top of the issue

I did experience a fish and planks falling through the ground but was fortunate enough to be able to retrieve them immediately after and move to a different location to use

I do not believe I saved with any items below ground but if items fall through randomly without player interaction then I couldn’t say but very likely

Thanks for that information Lead_head420. I’ll keep a note of this too.

The PS4 update should be available for you now. Players have mentioned that they have noticed the issue coming back in older saves. If this happens, please try switching the wildlife off in the main menu, loading, saving and then returning to the main menu to switch them back on. This should help reset any spawn cycles.

If you continue to have issues with interaction in pre-existing saves, please let me know.
