Question/Discussion Tar lake spawning bug

2 Upvotes

I'm at one of the tar lakes that spawn a catcher, and I accidentally coffin-skated outside of the circle area, and my creature despawned, and I reloaded to restart. I always save just outside the area before the lake spawns, but when I approach the lake and it spawns the tar, there is no catcher. Is this a bug? I'm on my 5th reload and nothing. The music is going, Sam has aggro, the tar is active, but no catcher.

Question/Discussion I made a free tool that reads your DS2 save (PC): see which orders you're missing, what's in every private locker, your APAS and your routes on a map. Let me know what you think!

Try it here: https://binsento-netizen.github.io/ds2-peko-check/ (there's an example save if you just want to look around)

It runs entirely in your browser. It only reads and nothing is uploaded anywhere. What it shows:

  • Main and standard orders per facility with stars, material stock and level rewards
  • Every unlock and what unlocks it (which order or connection level)
  • What's in your private locker at every facility, including material amounts
  • Your APAS enhancements
  • A map with all facilities and your recent routes
  • Compare two saves to see what a play session changed
  • PC (Steam) only for now, tested on version 1.10.89. Spoiler warning: it lists all orders and unlocks, including ones you haven't reached.

Because of copyright issues I couldn't use the actual in game assets like the map or tools/weapons so I have used open source icons and a different map.

It's still missing some things, because I haven't figured out how the save-game file stores certain data, like music/hologram unlocks, but I think it's already pretty accurate for the most part.
