When I logged off the game last night I had 4-5 deer carcasses laying on the floor upstairs in my house. When I went upstairs today to get one to butcher they were all gone. I also have quite a few up there on frontier sleds. They were all still there. Normally I keep them all on sleds but I've been reorganizing the last couple of days, trying to use up my pre-patch deer and just save my new ones. The deer I've killed in the last couple of days got laid on the floor till I was through butchering the old ones.

Is this a bug, or have animals suddenly started to rot in buildings and it just hasn't been announced,(or I missed the announcement)?

I use Latikai client.

My theory is every house and mine is a world of their own and if someone is present in a world its "loaded" and carcasses despawn if nobody has been near them for a period of time in a loaded world. In this case, houses with multiple floors are still the same world and just very far apart. This means they can despawn if someone is on a different floor for a while.

I had the same - half the carcasses in my mine got up and walked away. It doesn't look like random decay tick - it's all the carcasses from one area and none from another.

It has begun...

Trust me it has, i left a dead deer in my base a while ago and when i logged back on to check my humus and pots the deer was living. The corpse was gone. It's sorcery i tell you! Sorceray!
