Falling out of my moon pool, and onto the sea floor.

It started happening after going into the alien super weapon for the first time after the Sunbeam tried to land.
EDIT: found a fix that worked for me: Die. Now able to swim normally.
It started happening to me right after I searched all of the Aurora.
Seems to be a new bug with the update that came out.
Hope they can get around to fixing it soon.
- Watched planetary cannon epicness
- Explored all areas of alien structure (did not use alien technology to travel)
- Headed towards floating island above grand reef (cyclops)
- Sank down to at least 400m
- Saved while still manning the helm
- Exited and fell to my death
This game was created before the precursor update, not sure if it's relevant.
Aside from that, I recently cleared my terrain caches.
Dying will fix the bug as previously stated however.
I created mine after the update.
It has happened to my three times, in the exact same way.
Luckily, I am able to make it to my base from my moonpool... on foot.
Sounds weird when you think of being underwater.
I am willing to bet it's related to the new alien structure, or at least the area around it. Seems like the game is losing track of your players position and doesn't know to change the physics. This is why dying or warping fixes the issue as it resets the character position. I don't really know what else could cause this behavior.
That's actually a neat idea, but as for me I don't think it would work where it thinks I am in a base.
As I walk around in the video, my bases power and depth is showed on the top.
If it happens again I am taking an underwater road trip to test this though.
If it happens again and I am not stuck in grand reef, I will give it a shot to entertain my curiosity lol. I assume it wont matter as it doesn't logically fix the problem, since it seems the game considers your character inside a base or vehicle no matter where you go.
I remember immediately before this happened, I boarded the seamoth while out of the water, but able to reach it from the edge of the alien building's moonpool. But every other time I enter the seamoth has been while underwater, so it might have to do with being on land when boarding a sub, that when you leave the sub later, it last had you being on land mode (walking, breathing and falling) and put you back in that state again.
Just a theory.
EDIT: i used my seamoth to go to my base which was at the safe shallows which i spawned at and the terain didnt load i went into my base and exited and proceeded to fall to 250m after which i reloaded the save
This bug happens to me though on my floating island base - fortunately I can just walk to my base and go in, and out, and all is fixed again. And it happened for the first time months ago, way before the precursor stuff.
Pretty sure it is an issue with the update.
I uploaded the video to my Steam profile and have received a lot of comments talking about how often it happens to people now.
Devs need to find a fix soonish. I can imagine people getting frustrated and not playing it due to the bug.
I haven't played in a few days due to it myself.
I am glad they are looking into it.
Hopefully a hot fix swings in soon.
came back from blood kelp forest to my base right under the lifepod. The base were gone and within the lifepod all equipment (fabricator etc.) was missing. Upon leaving the lifepod I fell to the ground. I then committed suicide and everything was fine again however the seamoth was about 600m away from the position I parked it at.
