Closed Capture Pods are not working Properly

So i found a nice monster, wanted to have it as a ''pet'', but every time i catch one of those, and release them, some random monster appear inside the capture pod, and not the one i wanted, does the developers know this?

[Details: The monster was brown, he was a little one also have the head of a teddy bear]

EDIT: Here is the picture



Also i will post more information later, i am not in home right now

 

Well that's strange. Are you catching it in Multiplayer and then releasing it in Singleplayer, or vice-versa? Also, do you have any mods installed?

 

No mods, i am playing in the last update and i release them in the same place where i catch them, and ya this kinda bother me because i havent see another monster that look like a teddy bear.

 

Could you please recreate the situation and take screenshots?

 

ill be posting the pictures today as soon i reach home, right now i am at work so i cant do it, but i took enough pictures in order to proove it.

 

Here, i think the picture is self explanatory...

 

Strange indeed. Must be a bug. Devs! Spear has found bug!

@WingedSpear
Please provide game and system information (os and bit version) as mentioned in the above thread.
You may also provide the coordinates and name of the planet.
Does it happen after todays update? (if there was an update.. currently the launcher says stable Pleased Giraffe hit on May 8th, but game is still Spiritied Giraffe U5 after fresh install..) This glitch got fixed.

Edit: Could not reproduce so far on fresh installed Vanilla Spirited Giraffe Update 5 (win7 x64) on tropical planet with two different mob types.

 

This happened to me too, actually. Got rid of the critter instead of screencapping though, so I'm no help.

 

i will post the coords and everything else required once i am in home, i cant right now

 

Done, i am going to try this in another planet and see what happen...

 

I've got some more pods made already, I'll see if it happens again and upload screenies if it does.

 

probably because it's a randomly generated monster

Nope, shouldn't matter, marked the part where it should store the targets seed (body, head, legs, stuff).
It should output exactly the same monster that's captured.

At least I think that's the part, not that fond of lua, but it does store it somewhere.

 

alright, didn't know that.

...

i don't know how to fix this. i guess you just have to deal with it

 

i notice that when you're playing at multiplayer and one of your party members throw your capture pod, it shows a different pet, but when playing in single player, it's the same pet you've captured first...

 

If the server is on a different operating system than your computer's, then monsters captured on that server will appear different on singleplayer.
