My partner is having issues where every time she logs into the game she has to go back to each nest and assign her buggies to the buggy selection wheel.

Same here! Every time I log back in.

Had a bug yesterday where my friends crashed out of the game and the buggies they owed just become mine. I had to roll back the save file. any other help?

#

I lost my entire buggy yesterday.

Still an issue here

I’m pretty sure it’s a multiplayer issue but only for non-server owners because my friends play on my server and they have the issue but I don’t

I was told in the support email that 50 votes are needed for them to review the request in a meeting.

Have the same problem and have had it since launch. everytime we reset only the host has access to buggies. so if we have a crash while out exploring, the non hosts needs to run back to base to reassign all their buggies. Host still has theirs.

Bumping since this is the original bug issue

#

I dont see it anywhere in the website to upvote, even though its been reported since launch

I wanted to chime in as a friend and I are having this issue too. Started on 0.3.0.2. He’s on PC through Steam and I’m on Xbox Series S.

Update on it here, this is supposedly as intended: "
[[To be clear were aware of it, but this behavior is actually intended.

The reason why is because, if a player leaves the game with a buggy attached to them. If they never come back, that buggy is lost forever. Its to counter different types of Griefing or just some unexpected occurances can occur
with that in mind, were not sure 100% how to fix or just revert it completely but were aware of the frustration it brings] ](#｜grounded-2-bug-discussion message)"

Looks like theres 50 upvotes across this + the dupe issues now. @chilly fossil (only tagging since you gave that update from the above message)

Can this now be reviewed in a meeting? and/or added to the issue tracker? per here: #1406972460229726219 message

We literally quit playing because of this nonsense. It absolutely KILLS multiplayer. They've known about it for ages and haven't even responded to the issue here or on Steam, much less put it into any kind of bug tracker.

I really , really hope this will be changed.
Removing the assigned buggy as a way to prevent griefing , which in my opinion is not doing anything but punishing people who play co-op with their friend(s) is insanely silly.
I simply wish not to waste 10 minutes or more to run to base , re-assign and run back to where me and my friend were before. 2000 meter on two legs in this game isnt exactly the most entertaining task.
It could easily be fixed with the host being able to allow the players in their session to call the buggies or not upon a "new" player joining.
Absolutely ruins the first and last moments of a game session to know that I wont be able to use my buggy once again.

Update: "[The developers said on the latest live stream that they're internally looking into changes for this, even if thats not reflected on the issue tracker](#｜grounded-2-bug-discussion message)#｜grounded-2-bug-discussion message)"

Heres where they said it:
https://youtu.be/n8bMAbDQAzY?t=589 "Yep we're aware of that buggy summon wheel issue so, that should be addressed"

6 months to reach "aware of the buggy summon wheel issue" /smh

last saddle
#

Are there any fixes when your buggy says its not available? Our buggys keep getting unassigned then we can summon them.

Run back to base. That's been the solution for over 6 months. If you'll scroll up, at least now they're mentioning in passing that they're aware of the issue. It's still not on the bug tracker, but at least we've gotten onto their radar.

I just logged in and all the buggies were still assigned. Maybe they fixed it secretly? I'll keep an eye on it. nevermind, reloaded 4 times (because of crashes) and 2/4 i had my buggies, the other 2 not.

I can't even use the summon options on mine

this is the reply i got from sending a bug report for this. february 2. 2026

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting Obsidian Support.

We appreciate the time you have taken to notify us about clients not having buggies assigned if they rejoin the world. We understand that this has affected your experience, and we are here to address this situation.

We want to inform you that this behavior is intended. Only the host keeps their buggy assignments if they leave the world. This is done so that if any other player joins, they have a buggy that they can assign to themselves. Therefore, the clients need to reset their buggy assignment.

We hope this answers your question, and if you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Best regards,
Obsidian Support Team

But u can't resign my buggy

#

The option is blanked

#

need to go back to nest to reassign it. if it's missing from nest too then you just need to get a new egg.

Already tried

#

That were it's blacked out

I put a picture in a bug report I did

It's hands-down the most ill-informed MP setting I've ever heard of from any game developer ever. It absolutely KILLS multiplayer. Whomever thought this was a good idea clearly doesn't play MP. As punishment, they should only be allowed to play MP in someone else's game on a spotty connection that kicks them off every 10 minutes. I'll bet after about 30 mins of that nonsense they'll fix it.

Same, it is so frustrating.

And you're welcome for 50. Didn't realize I hadn't upvoted it

I'll chime in too that this is horribly inconvenient for multiplayer.
I see the intention, but.
With the number of crashes and/or host having to re-load the game etc.
They should just allow the host to "override" the setting and reassign as needed.
Hate getting stranded in the middle of nowhere without a ride!!
I gave this an upvote on the tracker too. 👍

The odds of seeing this fixed are not good. If it's a bug, you change a line of code. When it's an intentional design decision by developers, you have to change their mind. Have you ever tried to do that??? Sisyphus had a simpler task. Clearly the person in charge of this decision doesn't play this game in multiplayer, but has either played PvP or been griefed in MP in the past. Why do I say that? Because they're focused on preventing a problem that happened in their past in another game, not the problem that exists in our present in this game. You're not gonna get past that baggage. I'm just gonna uninstall this and update my negative review to reflect it's not a problem, it's an intentional decision on that part of the game developers that makes the game beyond frustrating in multiplayer.

while it may take a bit, know we haven't forgotton about this 🙂

Whatever. This has been going on for 6 months. "Haven't forgotten about this" doesn't mean you're fixing it, or even have an idea about how you'd fix it. This disenfranchises a good portion of your player base. Why isn't it a higher priority?

How could this is get worse?? My friend has now no buggys whatsoever. Nice

This issue really is annoying- when my friend's game crashes and we are in the greenhouse (our base is at the entrance tree) and he looses his buggy slots, he has to get himself killed to be the fastest way to retrieve them. And has somewhat impacted his overall experience with a really solid game

#

So Good news.

#

This is fixed in the Spring Update

#

Sorry about the wait, we had to rework some backend things to make it work. But it will be there 🙂

Yay! Cant wait for it to finally end moldorc

#

NOICE thanks guys for hearing us out on it

zinc solar
#

This should be fixed now with the new update hooray!
