Reefback bullying a newbie

Lotteez

Hello o/

I started my first (blind) playthrough of Subnautica two days ago, after a few hours of tentative exploring i discovered the Reefbacks on my way over to a distress signal. One of them followed me back to my pod, which i thought was hilarious.. I rode around on his back as he wallowed in the shallows... Then he began barging into my pod and knocking it everywhere. I'd often come back to my mobile storage containers scattered hundreds of metres apart and my pod even further away.

I was forced to delete this save as i couldn't even get into my pod due to him carrying it around. Which is sad as it was my first world. Now i am on to my second save, and have just progressed to discovering the Reefbacks again... and one has made his way over to my pod and begun bumping it again.

My question is~ Is this a cruel feature? Bug? Is there a console command to just delete this mob? I don't want to have to delete my second world..

Bug: Reefbacks aren't supposed to spawn in the shallows. Also occasionally you'll get a Leviathan in there, that's not supposed to happen either unless you let them chase you all the way home.

The Reefback didn't spawn in the shallows. He followed me home into the shallows.

Do you know how i can get rid of it?

Push it with a Cyclops. You could clear your cache (see the first line of my signature below ▼ )

Clearing my cache would remove the Reefback? I don't have a cyclops, and don't know how to get one I'm very new

Should reset all creatures to default positions and numbers (as well as any resources harvested). It will not remove your inventory, craft, or bases, or reset you progress, however, I've heard it can nuke the little floating lockers.

It seems that he clipped through the ground. So, problem solved Thank you!
