    I’ve recently downloaded Starmade, and I’ve been having a lot of fun building ships, but recently I’ve encountered an error that makes the game near unplayable on my computer. My PC is low end, so I’m running 0.199.132a, since it works with my graphics processor, and newer versions won’t load on my computer. I was playing on a creative mode world I had, and messing around with my 117 block long cruiser, when my computer’s battery died, and I had to reboot my computer. When I re-launched Starmade, the file loaded ok, but my world wasn’t accessible, so I created a new save file. I used Admin warp to teleport to a station near spawn, hoping for a derelict station I could retrofit into a small maintenance station, but I ended up at a Pirate Station Alpha. I teleported to another nearby station to escape, as I hadn’t spawned in one of my saved ships yet, but when I teleported the pirate station I was at came with me, and intersected with another pirate station, crashing my game again, and corrupting that save. Is there any way to fix this in a new save besides re-installing the game? If it’s not the game it might be my computer, and luckily I’m getting a new one soon, so maybe that will help.
    PS: for some reason every station in that save was a pirate station.

    As to the rest of your issue, I cant help, but with this specific bit, you can "admin scan" a system when on the map. Should be bottom left somewhere. Far as I remember it tells you what each station is, so at least if you have to start off again, you should have an easier time of it.

    Thanks! I ended up wiping the directory and restarting it. Turns out the computer thought the external hard drive I store the game on had been unplugged when the battery went too low, so it messed with the save data for that file. I’ll be sure to use Admin Scan from now on though. ^^

    No problem!


    yeah, ive had similar issues in the past. for a time i had only a 60gb HD, so had starmade on an external and encountered some issues - though nothing as bad as yourself.

    let us know if it works out! :)
