I seem to be having an issue with some of my animals. In my baby elephants family tree it shows siblings but they are greyed out as if I have them in the trade centre. Looked in the trade centre and they are not there. I know roughly what month in-game they were meant to be born and it's well past that now. Any ideas??
Newborns going missing
- Thread starter MooMooUK
- Start date
There might be a delay until they show up in the trade centre.
Just tonight I had two baby elephants (age 0.0 years) pop up in my trade centre. In one case I actually saw it appear in there while I was looking through the stored elephants to decide which ones to put into a habitat that I had emptied a couple of minutes earlier for this week's challenge.
And here is the kicker: going by the list of siblings (the parents were "unknown") that little baby elephant belonged to the parents I had released to the wild and must have been born years before it appeared in my trade centre. The other elephant also belonged to parents I had previously released, but since I did not witness when it showed up in storage I can not say if there was a delay, too.
So, if this is the same bug your baby elephants might still be on their way to the trade centre on paths unknown to man (i.e. the server somehow holds them hostage for some time or something like that).

I had an issue with a pregnant elephant, due to give birth, suddenly not being pregnant and no baby.

Thank you, have sent ID
Hey @MooMooUK! The team has asked me to ask you if you're sure your Elephants are pregnant? There's a chance that it's showing up in the UI before they've been born.
@WingardiumLevicoaster, if possible, the team would love to check out yours too! Please send over you SteamID

@Chante Goodman I noticed this when 2 of them got pregnant. I saw that one was due in August and the other in October I believe. A notification came up that one was in labor and when I went to check on them she was laying down like she'd just given birth but there was no baby, very much like @WingardiumLevicoaster. It wasn't until another elephant had a baby that I could see they were missing in the sibling panel. I have had one just give birth again and and the baby is one of the missing baby's but its years later and a different mother.
Image below is when I first noticed it
Image below is today when I played and as you can see some of the babys have appeared due to new pregnancies but they are all different mothers. The original pregnant elephants just did the animation like they were giving birth, but no baby and a new sibling would be added to panel but it would just be greyed out if that makes any sense.

Hi, I've played along a bit so not sure how helpful the save file will be but I've sent it along to you guys. Thank you for the help, it's quite bizarre issue
