Staying Afloat update: Chester missing after pirate raid plus duplicate loot

I even made sure using a console command and it returns "0":

 

Is there a way to get Chester back without cheating / using console commands? Does the game have any sanity check to make sure the Eye Bone is present when reloading a world? This is a major glitch and losing Chester in a world after 3300 days is no fun.

It happened after perishing at sea and respawning on land while the Eye Bone was in a Krampus Sack (which is also nowhere to be found).

pretty sure that everything on pirate boats despawns after they despawn, probably also including your stuff and eye bone

i doubt that, just use c_spawn("chester_eyebone")

Cheers. I'll wait and see what the devs reply. In worst case I guess I will make an exception and use said console command.

First of all, we apology for the issue.

Chester's Eye Bone and other irreplaceable items won't be removed anymore. Backpacks (including the Krampus Sack) will still be removed.
I couldn't reproduce the issue related to increased stack sizes. Items now try to stack in the Pirate Stash, that might explains it.

The answer is no, unfortunately.

Thank you for your reply! I am not sure about the stack sizes... It might have been a false impression on my part.
The Eye Bone is gone for sure however. :/ Does that mean it this issue will get addressed in an upcoming update? I hope so, since it can lead to detrimental impact on gameplay (even though dropping items on a Pirate Sloop and respawning elsewhere rarely happens).

All in all DST is a super stable game from a technical point of view. Mostly glitch free as well, considering how complex it has become. Keep up the great work.

You won't be able to get the eye bone back without using commands. However, the issue has been fixed and won't happen again.

Changed Status to Fixed
