What is this over the sinkhole?

[CatDrKahl]

it's obviously from Charlie and shadow alignment (rose vines), but why doss it happen so frequently? is there any way to get around it? it happens very frequently, and it's getting very frustrating, as we need to get into the caves. it must be from one of the most recent updates, as it wasn't around when you could first join Charlie or even for a long time after, just recently.

it's not part of the gameplay, it's actually a failsafe symptom that means the caves server crashed and you can no longer travel to them.

ur cave server died

This happens on Xbox only during the game trying to Retro-Fit new content into existing worlds, it prevents the player from traveling into or out of caves while the game retrofits your old worlds with new content from released updates.

I kinda wish Klei would add it as an actual feature though, sealing players into or out of areas (like caves and wormholes) during certain seasons or events.

The animations for it are already in the game.

That started happening on my servers due to a health indicator mod bc of some interaction with possesed mobs

This same thing happened to my solo dedicated server, I just updated game server file. Either the Cave save file is corrupted or the shard is mismatched with the game version.
