      Docked ship has become invisible? (online)

      This happened to me on a mp server. The ship in question was visible about 2.5km away but I couldn't enter it. The USD where it was "docked" showed a second area where I could interact with the plex door but that was about it. Try deleting the dock it is supposed to be attached to and hopefully...

      Push Module Logic Help Needed

      Ah! I will try that. Didn't occur to me that it could be thrust setup. I hadn't made the connection between the push module and the thrust settings.

      Push Module Logic Help Needed

      Maybe I was lucky when I tested it last night but I can't say I noticed and nobody complained. If it does prove to be the case I will scrap the idea.

      Read by Council Fix profits, Fix the roadmap, Fix servers, Fix the Game!

      Personally I only found the game about six weeks ago and I liked it so much I paid for it (despite it not showing up as such on my profile yet!) I enjoy playing on a multiplayer server (systemhack.net) and I have rarely been unable to play. I think the game has massive potential and I enjoy...

      Not always. Sometimes it just adds a # to the URL. Sometimes it shows it is redirected to the registry but I am not logged in once it gets back. The most foolproof way of logging into the site on my phone is to open the login link in a new tab. That works about 95% of the time. Most strange...

      No. It redirects to the registry but doesn't login. I have to open it as a new tab. Same with the link at the top of the home page or the link below a forum post saying you need to log in. Hope that helps?

      Push Module Logic Help Needed

      No, it is a standalone miner to strip planet surfaces. You line it up. Stop modules negates gravity. Clock operated salvage beams fire straight down. Push module as part of the cycle should move the ship forwards slowly as it mines. Fully hands off operation. If the storage block logic...

      I have been unable to login via my windows phone for some time now and I guess this is why. I still have to login via a forum post and cannot use the login link on the home page. I know it is hard to cater for every eventuality but it used to work before the major malfunction a few weeks ago...

      Push Module Logic Help Needed

      I have been going round and round in circles with this but cannot find a solution so I thought I would ask. I have built an automated miner and use a push computer with a single module to drive the ship slowly forward. It accelerates to about 1.5m/s which is a little too quick but I think I...

      StarMade v0.197.36 Bug-fixing Round Part 2

      My shipyards seem to be broken now! I was going to post a bug to say that any shipyards would insist on adding a prefix of "ENTITY_SHIP_" and a suffix of "0" onto everything I build. Since the new update, this seems to be the case but I have a greater problem. I docked a ship to the shipyard...

      Some Mining Drone Tests

      If anyone wants to carry out their own tests under specific conditions feel free to add your results to this thread or comment on your findings. I'm sure people will find them interesting. Anyway, I have carried out a further batch of tests. Each drone was sent out individually and tasked to...

      Some Mining Drone Tests

      That is not a bad idea. I will carry out some more tests tonight an post the results.

      Some Mining Drone Tests

      Following on from Sit and Spin Mining Drone? and not wishing to further hijack the thread I have carried out some basic tests on three variations of my small mining drone. All three are small 5x5x5 ships and consist of the same power, thrust, storage, cargo space and a rail docker. None have...

      Sit and Spin Mining Drone?

      I will do some more intensive testing and make a separate thread but I have already noticed one thing. I have three different drones. 1 Salvage computer with 5x5 beams. 1 salvage computer with 1x25 beams (grouped together with a single output) 5 salvage computers with 1x5 salvage beams each...

      Sit and Spin Mining Drone?

      My original drones were based upon the hornet drones made by Lenscap (YouTube) where the missile pod was replaced with storage and cargo space. The cannons were replaced with 6 salvage beams. I will admit, I like my new drones better. I have ditched the shields for more power and despite having...

      Sit and Spin Mining Drone?

      So my drones have 5 barrels. All 5 show that they are firing visually, but does this mean that only 1 is actually working? Would it be better in this case to have them grouped together as a single barrel or have 5 individual salvage computers to the 5 individual barrels? My combat drones can...

      Sit and Spin Mining Drone?

      I have a carrier and 8 mining drones. The drones are small 5x5x5 but between them they can reduce a small cluster to nothing in about 20 minutes. My original set up was 6 drones to 2 pick-up rails but I now have individual pick-up points for each one. Occasionally they get into a fit or dock...

      Read by Schine Change appearance of pickup point block to better show orientation.

      I have experimented with switching on and off these (the graphic changes when linked to an activation block and appears to work) and sometimes function is erratic so in my experience, there does seem to be an alignment, whether intended or not.

      Ghost Ship

      If anyone is interested, this issue has solved itself. I guess it was a glitch and so is probably hard to replicate. I did have to delete my station in order to release the ship. I was then able to fly over to it and access it normally. The faction module had vanished however so I installed a...

      Ghost Ship

      It may be a server issue but I am a little worried. I was returning back to my homebase when I was attacked by pirates. I quickly tried to dock to the station which I thought I had. I stupidly set foot outside the protection of the station and was quickly killed. I respawned and the ship I had...
