Heya! I play on a laptop, and am on the newest version of the game with downpour installed. In the final shelter before the outer expanse ending (OE_SEXTRA) my game crashed—which is not unusual for me, my laptop sucks and sometimes crashes me when I save in a shelter—and upon restarting the game my previous cycle count of 41 was now 71, and when I selected continue my two slugpups that I had brought along with me had preformed a LOT of mitosis. Like… my shelter was chock full of little slups. I am playing as survivor. I’m not really looking for a way to reverse this (because I think it’s hilarious) but does anyone know why exactly this happened?

I'm not sure about the added cycles but its probably similar to the duped slugpups
When you shelter the game saves, since you crashed the pups saved incorrectly and duped
If you have logs i can tell you exactly why it crashed, but its most likely that the game ran out of memory
This is a bug that happens a lot especially with mods enabled, but can happen without mods

unfortunately i never check logs, but thanks for the explanation! it was quite a surprise to see an army in my shelter when i awoke
ending screen also seems to have broke a bit, or maybe the amount of glow on surv is normal i have no idea

Oh thats weird, I dont remember it being so bright

me neither 
i doubt it doesn’t have something to do with the pup duping + added cycles, but strange nonetheless
oh also forgot to mention, but i think i have indeed seen the added cycles before; not experiencing them firsthand, but in a youtube video. i forget who the creator was but they did a video series with a mod that spawned a random amount of water in every room, and in one of them i think the game crashed and when they had restarted it they were on cycle 175 or smth
