REALLY long connector between cells in multicellular stage

[Giratina]

I don’t really know what happened here. I was messing around in the multicellular stage sandbox & when I finished editing the organism I spawned in. I moved under a chunk, but then right as I did that, another cell attached to my organism formed, but it was right at the edge of the screen. I assume what happened is that the chunk got in the way of it which made the connector thing extend drastically. But even after I moved away, the rest of the cells forming were really far apart too.
This bug is kinda funny but also very inconvenient. I have no idea how many cells are currently in my colony, & I can only really see 2 of them, so I don’t know what the rest of them are near or touching.

I’d assume it broke due to the screen edge proximity rather than the chunk thing since pretty sure the later was already tackled sometime ago

I haven’t really played this in months so that was just my guess

Do you still have the game logs of the file? They would be useful to determine the cause of the bug for the devs.

What does your species look like in the editor?

This shouldn’t be possible anymore in the game because the multicellular layout positions are fixed upon exiting the editor so nothing in the gameplay should be able to affect them.

It looks normal in the editor. If I spawn in again the connected cells go back to normal too.

Do you have a savefile from just before the weird connection was created? Like as in from the beginning of that gameplay session?

[hhyyrylainen]

That’s a very unreasonable amount of cells so I’m not super surprised that this breaks something.

Though the long connections shouldn’t happen.
It’s likely the growth order (which is still hidden in the version you are playing) is messed up. The next release adds a growth order tab to the multicellular editor and probably should prevent the wrong ordering of cells which is what I assume causes the really long link.

[Giratina]

I do not. I only have the save for right after the bug happened.
