any help on what this is? i've only gotten sparse info but i can't figure out if i can do anything, or if he returns, or if this foreshadows anything, nothing like that
this happened on day 41, roughly at 3 am

for me it happened when i sent kerfur out to do reports, he went towards the lake (presumably towards oscar or something) and i heard a placeholder sound (kleiner saying fiddlesticks) and i couldn't pause for a while, i checked kerfur's camera and he was in the flesh pit
i tried to retrace his steps and found a blood stain, i assume that's where he disappeared
If it helps, try buying a portable map, then look on your base's map for different ping signatures. If they are still around, they should be one of the pings. Just follow the coordinates and seek it out. I had to do that once when mine disappeared suddenly in the last update. Thought he was gone and eventually had to find them through coordinates.
Have you checked each ping personally? I know it may sound redundant, but I did see someone suggest to check out your windows, so checking the pings close to your base might be worth looking into, as well. Especially when things on the map appear close to your base, it's hard to determine what's new, what was there, and what wasn't.
i founded wiki about this (use translator): https://votv-ru.fandom.com/ru/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%84%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0-0
SPOILER ALERT!!! Hey, guys. There is, like, a big mouth with spooky teeth in the new little cave under the lake. Use scooba mask, special little oxygen tank for it that you can all buy from the shop (but they are quite expensive). Look in the "Info" option in the Player's Inventory (once those items arrive) for those items to understand how it works and whatever... Go to there with the scooba mask equipped. Dive in to there. Once you are there, you'll see it. I don't know what to do to it to give your Kurfus Omega back. Bring explosive barrels, fuel canisters or throw molotovs at it (I don't know, it might help). Just save the game and try it. Personally, I never encountered this event. I'm still, like, on the day 22-23... Earlier this day, @XanerGrono wrote that his Kurfus Omega disappeared near the lake so... Well, connect the dots.
Old thread, but it happened to me on day 27 at night. I woke up around 2AM to see a puddle of blood where kerfur was standing before. I checked the cameras on the computer and saw him in the weird flesh pit thingy. I panicked and tried to find him around the base, but nothing helped. After a couple minutes he reappeared fairly close to the base so I walked him back manually. He seems to be okay, but I will be watching him closely. Hopefully he won't try to kill me in my sleep.

this is an old, dead thread but i witnessed something very similar to this event
kerfur omega disappeared again, but this time he wasn't out to get a report or anything, he was simply turned off on the floor in the signal processing room, and there was no blood stain or anything left of him
at some point, he just disappeared and i'm not sure why, there's no sign of him on the radar, no camera feed, or anything, and i've even checked every location to no avail
Hello, this happened to me too a few days ago, day 41 too. I think this has something to do with the aliens dropping stuff events. Whenever they come by, Kerfur-O is supposed to get destroyed. Since our Kerfur-Os were in the flesh dimension when they appeared, I think Kerfur is getting destroyed inside the flesh dimension and not getting teleported out of it. Other option is that it gets destroyed when teleporting back into the array. I've tried to go looking for it's pieces but it's been no luck so far.
Just happened to me on Day 14 of an AMBIENT playthrough (wanted to make that part extra clear). Most events are disabled in this mode, so it's interesting to see this event still happens. I guess that means the event isn't exactly dangerous. I also remember one time where, as someone else mentioned, the Kerfur-O reappeared after roughly 30 real-world minutes. I also know this can happen if the Kerfur is nearby when you sleep. Seems the only safe methods would be A, put them in your inventory (the Monique model is capable of this, as she has the same properties as the doll when deactivated), or B, to potentially leave them out in front of your base idling. Basically, it's a cognito hazard. One time I was cleaning a transformer and had a Kerfur-O set to patrol. Noticed after a bit they hadn't run inside in a while, and found the blood splat. This specifically happened several versions ago, probably during v0.6.X or v0.7.X.
That's pretty much everything I've got
Omega Kerfur can be stolen in voices of the void and if u see a pool of blood it means if u see kerfur is inside of the fleshy shell and it during time it can be back if u save or paused and itcan be visible creature and it can we walking in the windows on the visible and it has a same creature it mixed a machine and blood and flesh and if u look at the face it will be only teeth and it can be released somewhere in the forest and nothing happen and i'm never had that in the long time for me.
