Corpse Vanishing when doing Place

[Marlon 303]

I believe this may be a model bug more than a mechanics issue.

During the last few weeks, I managed to cause a mob corpse to disappear twice by accidentally selecting "Place", then pressing ESCape.

 

The intent to OPEN and twitchy cursor movement causes me to sometimes select PLACE. When realising the error, I press Escape to undo.

The corpse will vanish, never to be seen again. I think both times it was a wild cat.

 

Bug or pebcak?

When you press Esc during a Place action, the item usually appears in your inventory. (I just tested again.)

Can you try again and check?

Hi Yaga,

It seems it does go to my inventory when I try it on purpose. The last cat before this post, DID disappear. Maybe it was a once off glitch. I will keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the response.
