Attention: it is very likely that you will never get Portation Orb Fragment due to design flaw

[yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Currently we can only find Portation Orb next to Broken Sanctum Waymark. They should be used to repair Waymarks directly and this should be a right thing.

However, here is the flaw: Repaired Waymarks won't be broken again after you reset the Sanctum with the Keystone, which means, if you repaired all the waymarks, you will never get another one to craft Portation Orb Fragment. Farewell to Portation system.

I am not sure if this is the final version or my test is correct. Please tell me if there is anything wrong. If this finding is right, then Devs must reconsider Portation Orb Fragment acquisition.

Besides, Portation Orb is still irreplaceable. I don't know if this will cause any problem. Just mention by the way.

We'll take a look at that.  They're meant to be broken again after Sanctum reset.

That’s great to hear for fragments, I’m sure you are aware that this means we would have to redo the puzzle every time we reset because the shortcuts would be broken (a price I’m willing to pay for renewable orbs).

Also just noting that there is an orb that spawns in the entry room, and I don’t believe that room regenerates.

Title: Possible Sanctum progression bug on PS5 (old world save)

 

Platform: PlayStation 5

Game: Don't Starve Together

World: Very old world created before multiple major updates (still contains legacy farm plots)

 

Description:

 

I think I may have encountered a progression bug related to the new Sanctum content.

 

My world originally had an issue where the Ancient Gateway never completed Charlie’s repair sequence after defeating Ancient Fuelweaver. I fixed this by resetting Shadow Rift settings and defeating Ancient Fuelweaver again. After that, the gateway was finally repaired and I was able to insert the new Sanctum fragment successfully.

 

However, after defeating Ancient Fuelweaver again later:

 

- The Beckoning Hand appeared again.

- It requested another fragment even though the previous progression had already been completed.

- A new fragment dropped again after resetting Sanctum.

- The fragment did not disappear and could be inserted again.

 

After inserting the fragment a second time:

 

- The Sanctum area appears to regenerate incorrectly.

- The entrance area with the three Ancient statues changed layout/state.

- I can no longer progress deeper into Sanctum.

- I become stuck in the starting lobby area and cannot continue.

 

Additional notes:

 

- Ancient Key dropping again seems intentional and is probably unrelated.

- Shadow Rift content itself works normally.

- This world has been carried through many updates and may have migration issues.

- I also noticed that some progression-related objects seem to appear again after resets.

 

Expected behavior:

 

After completing the fragment insertion once, the Beckoning Hand should not request another fragment again, or additional fragments should not be usable if progression is already complete.

 

Actual behavior:

 

The fragment can be obtained and inserted again, which appears to alter Sanctum progression and blocks access.
