Creature Appearance Changes

After briefly playing the new stable update I've noticed my original pet (I caught with a capture pod) has changed appearance entirely, as someone who spent a long while searching around for a cool pet he likes I feel quite disappointed. Was this intended/has it happened to others?

 

It you are talking about the cat... That one was changed to the new racial pet system; the one on your ship.

If on about the random monster part, that I am unaware of working; as I have not attempted to capture any. In this instance I would think it is something they may or may not be modifying in the future. Possible yes, it may be something on a long list of things to do, or modify, or retrofit, if not revamp entirely. Not much is known on this part. At least I don't really know a whole lot that has been mentioned concerning capture-able pets.

 

The monsters apperence is generated based on the random world generator (somehow) and saved with the coordinates in a capture pod. If the world gen changes in anyway (updates) then the captured monsters will not look the same since the monsters on said world wont look the same.

Basiclly, the capture pods dont save the creature as is, they just save enof info too generate them the same way, but if the generation changes in anyway thanks to updates the creatues will also,

 

Just think of it as an evolution...like pokemon.
