damage by an unknown force

[JaimeGin]

So, I have only been playing the game for a few days. But the mechanics of it all seem easy enough to understand. However there has been something that is happening right now in my current game that makes no sense. Ok, I found a nice area where there are mountain peak type protrusions rising up from the ground level. I took one of these valleys and built a den into in. Everything seems find, however.. While doing some hunting for meat, I killed a wolf. While collecting the meat and such I started taking damage. Jumping around I looked to find that I was all alone. There was nothing near me, the blue time wheel thing in the middle was full and not moving at all. My hunger level was at somewhere above 90%. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it was that was hurting me. I was inside one of the valleys, that I know. So, I ran away to my base after collecting the materials and shut down the game and booted back up. Just now I was playing, more hunting. I killed two of the sheep things, ewes I think they are called. This was inside of the valleys near my place. While carving one of them up, I started taking damage again. This is a different valley than before mind you. So, I finish up what I am doing quickly and exit the valley. I am looking for shimmers, or some kind of distortion. I cant find anything. Here is also the thing. When I run around in that same valley, I take no damage whatsoever. I can jump and run and be fine. It is when I stop and stand there, I start taking damage. Just outside of the valley entrance, I can stand there and I am fine. But the moment I move into the valley, I start getting injured. Again, the blue time wheel thing is full and not rotating in any direction. My hunger level is above 90%, my character profile says that my nutrition is meat is around 40% and vegetables is near 10%, the other 2 are empty. There are no animals around, not even bunny rabbits. No distortions or shimmers to indicate an invisible enemy. I am completely at a loss to what it is that is happening. I cannot find anything online about this happening to anyone else. If any of you other players know what it is that is happening, please let me know. My own little valley seems perfectly fine. I take no damage while I am there, I take no damage elsewhere as I search for materials. Like hunting down and map marking copper and other ores, I can stand there for a good long while and nothing will happen. I can cut down trees elsewhere and I am fine. It is just, at the very least, these two valleys near my base of operations that I take damage from some unseen force. If this is a normal thing, a normal game mechanic, than I dont want to bother the devs with a bug ticket. But if it turns out to be a bug, I can send them a copy of this description and go from there. Thank you to any who decide to give me any information on these incidents.

Potentially a bug.

One thing you can do is bring up the chat window. It actually has three tabs. One of them is a combat tab. And everytime you take damage, it prints there exactly how much and from what source. Please check to see if anything gets written there if you take damage from the mystery source, and report back.

Please record a video and submit it to bug reports.

Could it be an unstable area?  Is your temporal gear black (that spinning wheel at the bottom of your screen)?
