is this a bug?

[Yuuko]

I had a friend comment about this last time we were playing, and just had it happen to me now.  When I use a cave exit I am placed at the surface spawn portal instead of a cave entrance.

I am running mods - api gem core, global pause, and wormhole marks, idk that any of these should effect worldgen / cave entrance / exists.

Anyone else have this happen?  Is this just a thing I don't know about?

Is that new?  I thought it would exit you to the sink hole and open it.

Your cave exit doesn't have a cave entrance on the surface so it just spits you out the portal.

It's cause your world has an extra exit to it.

I just checked in a new world and yes, when you exit a cave it opens the sink hole on the surface. So it's because the cave has an extra exit with no entrance connected to it.

But it's not new.

This is the correct answer. I have a similar world and does the same thing.

This happens on Xbox, it has nothing to do with the mods your using.

Happened on my PS4 world as well.

This sometimes happens when you have correct number of entrances on the surface but the association between the exit and the entrance becomes unlinked. If i you restart your game it should resolve. If not, there are console commands you can use to manually fix.

The extra unmatched sinkhole spawning is a bug, but the behavior of putting you at the postern is intentional. Presumably to prevent something like the game crashing or placing you at invalid coordinates.

Not that I can't look up how to do this, but do you know?  Can you share?

What would it look like if I had an unlinked sinkhole on the surface?  Would I appear at the gate in the caves?

Yes.

There is a tricky command for it, but I have completely forgotten how to do it.

thx, I imagine its at least as tricky as doing wormholes, probably more so since its going between shards.  I'll just look it up ^_^  If I find a disconnected surface sinkhole I'll connect them, otherwise it will just be a quirk of this server I guess lol  Sad b/c this would have been the best sinkhold to enter the caves in being right next to blue shrooms and ruins XD  I guess that's how luck works though lol

Huh, weird.

[I Heart Popcorn]

Anytime you have an unlinked portal i.e. cave exit/entrance and you try to enter/exit, you end up at the florid postern in the exiting shard.  

I have the command written down somewhere to relink and can DM you when I find it.

this happens on console on vanilla worlds too, def not caused by mods.
