So, I encountered something strange with my zombie. I lost my creation.
This was a first for me, and it resulted in the loss of a perfect forged bastie. The problem is, I didn't know that you could only travel so far away from your zombie before it couldn't be resummoned to you. Anyone else have experience with this?

If you leave an area, and you're the only one in it, the area itself unloads and despawns anything in the area, including zombies.
When traveling, it's best to COMMAND ZOMBIE TO LEAVE, which will put it into a "storage room" that won't despawn them.

I seem to recall a problem with zombies in areas being pushed out of memory (or whatever the term is). If you're the last PC to leave an area, it gets packed away so it doesn't take up resources. If your zombie is in it when that happens... no more zombie.

Was hunting in one area, climbed a ledge in the same hunting area, and lost him. I didn't know that that particular climb was an area changer. After all, the same mobs are on both sides of it.

There doesn't need to be any indication that you're moving from one 'area' to the next (though there often is), and places that we would intuitively consider a single large area are often made up of multiple smaller 'areas' for technical reasons, such as reducing how much of the game world is in active memory at once.
