Hi Bam101015,
Thank you for reporting these issues. I’m sorry to hear they’re affecting your saves, but the good news is a number of these are ones the team have found fixes for and are testing them for release in the next update (date still not confirmed, I’m working on getting a narrower timeframe for the community for the next Message from the Team though…). I’ve responded to each of the issues you listed below…
- Black tip reef sharks - I believe the team were investigating this, but I think it might be lower on the priority list in comparison to other issues. I’ll add a note to the report that you are still seeing it happen in your save though so they’re aware it’s still an issue for players.
- Sail Collision - The team have changed how the collision works on the sail so it matches the PC version and doesn’t cause the raft to move unexpectedly if a player bumps into it. I believe they’re still testing this at the moment but hope to have it in the next update.
- Starter raft not appearing - thank you for mentioning this and sharing your feedback around it too. I’ll pass everything onto the team so they can investigate and take your suggestion into consideration.
- Spyglass issue - The team has a fix for this too, ready for the next update. Unfortunately reloading the save is one of the easier workarounds, but another player found a way to do it in game. It’s detailed in this post if you get stuck again or what to give it a try: [Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Spyglass / Binoculars not working as intended
- Respawning items - Thank you for reporting this, I will pass it onto the team so they can look into this. Can you confirm for me if this was happening on game generated islands, custom islands you added, or both?
- Spoiled potatoes - This occurs with all spoiled fruit/veg unfortunately. After the food spoils, the items can become stuck in the crate. Upon reloading the save, the crate then resets and results in the content being lost. The team believes they have found a solution to this issue and it will be tested and hopefully included in the next update.
Thank you again for reporting these issues. While the team is aware of a number of them, it’s always good for us to get reports of issues as it helps us track the frequency of the issues among players and sometimes there can be additional information useful for the team. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences with us and please do let us know if you spot anything else.
Tell Wollie I say hi if you find him!
