Out of curiosity, I repeatedly self-destructed myself in multiple patches in order to try the switching to a new species upon extinction feature, since I have not used that gameplay mechanic yet; my species is located in multiple biomes, so I needed to make my species go extinct in different biomes. I did not even get to switching to a new species, as a encountered a bug with a different gameplay mechanic. After several patch extinctions, it seems that the game thinks I can still go to the go to the Mosfulagalic Estuary, even though I went extinct there, and the game does allow me to respawn there without being able to select it. I am not sure why the Mosfulagaic Underwater cave biome was highlighted, since that is not the most recent biome I was in before the bug started. I have gone in this loop of being able to respawn in the Mosfulagalic biome, where I just went extinct, without needing to select that biome several times to make sure this is real. I was able to reload a quick save just before the bug occured, and was able to reproduce this bug via multiple self-destruct extinctions. I am also able to select other biomes besides the glitched one, and reloading the save does get rid of the glitch.

By “multiple patches” you mean in just how many places exactly did you go extinct before the bug started?

What makes you assume this? From the screenshot it looks like the current patch you are in is highlighted, however it is also grayed out meaning you have died out there. So I’m wondering what indication there is that the game thinks you are not extinct there.

Please provide the save file.

Edit: after getting the save file and more info on what the actual problem is, I think I’ve created a valid fix for this bug:
