I think I've found a glitch. (dormi.zone)

So, I'm doing the expedition and trying to not get irritated about it as is usual for me.

Unfortunately, the game isn't playing along with that. I'm on one of the moons of the starting gas giant. The paradise world. I'm trying to find all the animals so I can retrieve some things I actually like rather than the stating gear.

Most of the animals are aquatic so I jump into the water... I haven't tried finding fish in quite a few updates but it appears some of them spawned in a water-cave under the lake I found. I dig down and... the moment I enter any hole in the ground while underwater I'm returned to the surface.

This lake isn't deep so I'm fighting buoyancy the entire time but being snapped back to the surface doesn't seem like an intended behavior.

Just pick a different planet/moon and find animals there.

It's an exploration game not a checklist. Have fun while trying to figure things out even though they may not be straight forward or easy

Alright, that makes two moons where I've tried and failed to find all the animals. I've got some nanites so I guess I'll just go to the anomaly and get what I can afford.

FYI, you don't need proximity to scan creatures and you don't even need line of sight for the entire length of the scan. If you can't dive down your hole, you can probably hang out at the surface and just scan the creatures from there if you can see them through it.
