I almost lost my Seamoth because of this! And with the removal of Terraforming coming, I think it's important that this gets looked at.
To sum it up without telling my life's story, when you beach the Seamoth on any land that can be driven onto, like any of the Islands or the ground kicked up by the Aurora, the Seamoth will slowly sink into the ground.
I had gone to the island with multiple bases on it, and after collecting my share of flora and databank entries, I returned to my Seamoth only to see that it had sunken completely under the ground, out of sight! I had to dig the ground until I could see the top of the submersible before I could get into it, and drive it out of its clipped-under-the-world state.
I had this issue once before, but I thought it was a one-time thing, and because I could still see the top of the Seamoth, I wasn't too concerned. I didn't think it'd happen again.
Reproduction steps are basically what I said above. Simply find a point where the earth slopes up above the water, drive the Seamoth up onto it as far as you can, and wait. It might have something to do with how the Seamoth slowly sinks back into the water if you surface?
I don't know if pictures are actually necessary, and I don't think it would help much with this particular issue, but I'll try to get a picture soon. I'm not really sure exactly how long it takes the Seamoth to sink, because both times its happened, I've been away on the island collecting stuff.
My bad if this has been brought up before! I didn't notice any threads about it on the first couple pages.
EDIT: This is my first post and all, so I'm obviously new to the forums, so I have a quick question:
Should multiple bug reports be consolidated into a single thread, or should each bug get its own thread?
