Title
I was on a terminal in the shadow zone (Zone 455) and died to a shadow giant while on it, causing me to fall into the void forever with my teammates saying the same thing.

The Red is where my team says the shadow giant came from the purple is me (bishop) on the terminal about to be mogged
Didn't catch much of it other than this video of me in the void
Ofc this was problematic because I never was teleported back up and we just kind of lost from there
It happened earlier in the level as well with the charger zone with the previous code
But I didn't go down, so I only took about 12% infection before returning to the surface
I am running a modded client, with all of these mods installed as they were when this happened

So the most typical way to clip through the ground which is to never be excluded is desync. Desync generally is more likely when running modded in this game (more noticeable when running with generally scuffed connection though)
There is also some rare gaps in the ground you can fall through. And specifically theres spots with kind of "thin" coverage which enable the falling through more easily.
Another way to fall through on the above mentioned spots is by abusing the shift between toggle/hold crouch. Though uuuh... I dont think you did that while on a term lol
as Ghostly explained there is some weird state thing when on a terminal, in a way this is "somewhat" similar to how stuff behaves when on a ladder. And its known that in the past you were able to fall through the map when you got tped while just entering or leaving a ladder state (again though with desync typically)
My assumption would be that, since you arent host, the giant punched you. Shifting your position into the term, then you got killed. Since you were in the term, you fall down
Now typically youd just reset to your last viable position when falling for too long, but this doesnt happen if you are downed. So you fall until you leave, the game is finished or quit putting you in this unfortunate state

I was host
I have a mod that enables me to host as any character, I specifically only play bishop just because that's who I play and my group stays consisntent with who plays who generally

Did you press the hot key for free thyself
brisk cairn
Oh yeah you do have free thyself

The issue with eternally being stuck under the map if you press the hotkey while downed was addressed in freethyself version 0.0.3 and it also added a small cooldown to prevent getting yourself additionally stuck by interrupting the process of it trying to free you
I suppose I can't rule out pressing it precisely AS you get downed though
hybrid forge
Oh yeah you do have free thyself
It's in the mod list and YES several times
granite tinsel
It would have done nothing after the first time if activated before going down, the cooldown is once every 10 seconds and infinite (does nothing) if you are downed

It would have done nothing after the first time if activated before going down, ...
From experience theres no cooldown
brisk cairn
afaik the delay is to stop you from cheesing things but i could be wrong
granite tinsel
it's also because it could just get you stuck eternally under the map or stuck in a wall because it forgets where you're supposed to be
the process works best when it isn't spammed and the cooldown ensures it can execute at least once fully to be more consistent on that front

yeah i have a similar issue
there are tiles in various levels where i will fall through in specific spots
always as host, never as client
but i eventually come back in bounds so idk

Okay so apparently I just can't use terminals period
they just cause me to fall through the floor
The first time I use a terminal it just causes me to fall through the floor
after I type
naive sand
after I type
Even when you run unmodded?
naive sand
No it's probably a mod
Go into config and search ”free” and ”freethyself” should come up
Press that and then edit config
naive sand
it's config options are just the hotkey
Yes
Every time you press L
You’ll fall thru the map
😭
Edit the hotkey to smth you don’t use at all
I’d suggest F1 or F18
/whatever function keys you have
hybrid forge
I put it on Tilde
I cannot believe how insanely stupid I am lol
However we did just encounter another Bug where after ending the Kraken in R8B2 Secondary Me and Woods just didn't teleport back to the complex\
granite tinsel
that's client related, seen that
