Is this happening to others? Its seems to be exclusively bred dinos and only happens when picked up and dropped from a flyer. Only fix i can see is restart the server, then ghost down to dino and get its ID then teleport it to me. This only works after a restart otherwise it will continue to fall.

It happened to me too, with a newly hatched oviraptor. But, I did manage to fix it! The dinos only appear to fall sea level, so if you're near the ocean or a lake, try getting it to follow you. It should reappear when the landmass drops below the water line. Then, you can pick it up again with a flyer.
Here's the important bit: if you drop the dino again, it will sink back through terrain to the water level, and you'll have to do the process over again. Instead, pick it up, hover over where you want the dino to be, and log out, still on your flyer with it being held in the air. When you log back in, it should be standing on the ground, with your flyer hovering above you. It worked for me a couple times, I hope it solves your issue! Good luck!
Well I'm on a private server with friends so we can use admin powers, server restarts seem to return it to normal behaviour so you need to restart to get babies to work
Its quite fucking annoying but hes right. However what i do is put a saddle on said dino. Im not sure how to save dinos that arent rideable. However if your baby dinos go underground… just have them follow you the coast or body of water. Approach and slap a saddle and ride off.
Also tried this, but it just went write back to splashing through the land until I did a server restart. Then I admin'd to the dino, starting riding it, and it popped me up to ground surface. Everything has been fine since, but I'm assuming that this needs to happen with every baby. Has anyone tried doing a pre-emptive restart after the baby is grown, but before dropping it from a flyer?
This happened to my Ankylosaurus. I have three underground and they just live there now. Even after a restart cause we don't have admin powers.
The life long issue. This is why my breeding pens have multiple floors. This issue has been around forever with no real fix
No I'm not talking about babies falling through floors exactly, you could fully grow it, pick it up with an Argy and fly across the map, drop the fully grown Dino and it will fall through the floor as if it didn't exist.
Yup I'm having this issue too, I've only been breeding dodos so far and all of them disappear if I pick them up and toss them.
On ASE or ASA? On ASE, yes a constant problem, especially with babies.
Yea but on ase it stops when they're grown, asa it doesn't matter of they're grown or not, of they were a baby and the server hasn't been reset then if you pick up and drop them they will fall through the ground.
Yup. Lost two snails. Dino Retrieval Mod. Got em back.
yeah. if you are lucky enough to have water under the mesh when they fall you can be whistled out and will swim to wherever you want em too, provided they dont get antimeshed.
Hello, not sure if this was said already, using a whip on the baby/adolescent Dino’s underground worked for me. They popped right back up.
This is ASA we ain't got no whips.
I’m on ASA 🤠.. must have mods in the server I play though.. either way whips should hopefully come out at some point
Also I dont mean in losing the actual babies, it's the bred dinos that grow up then fall to the ocean beneath the world. Way beyond whip range.
Okay, I haven’t experienced this yet.. I am built on a sim all hills though.
YEs it happens to me every time
I was throwing a high level otter I had just caught and had a mini panic attack when it just dropped through the floor. Remembered I can just ghost on single player. Didn't think of the server restart though, thanks for that.
This is happening on our unofficial private server too. Thanks for the thread so I know its not just us.
Its NOT fixed. I lost two Achina right in front of my eyes. They fell through metal foundation and I got the message, a seconds later, that they were killed. Absolute state of things these days makes me sick.
Trying to set up a penguin polymer farm on my SP world and ran into this issue, glad I'm not the only one.
Yea i can confirm this has happened on my server as well
