    I've been lucky so far and have never really had any problems with rails, both the physical ones and the virtual pick up rails until now.

    I'm building a large ship with docking points for eight mining drones. The first seven worked fine and I was just docking the last drone and it just sits at the end of the shootout rail refusing to move. I activate the launch process and they all launch, except the the stuck one which I get an invalid docking point error and the drone disappeared. I recall the drones and they all sit at the top of the pick up rails and don't move.

    Manually undocking the drones gives me the same invalid dock error and my entire system is broken!

    I have even tried rebuilding the whole pick up system but it doesn't work at all.

    Rails are now frozen!

    Any suggestions please?

    Yes, it all worked as expected apart from a missing pick up rail that I must have deleted in error in symmetry mode perhaps. Once fixed it was fine.

    The bug report is in the station rails post which I spotted as soon as I posted this! Read through that and tried to clear cache. Helped to make the game to run better in general as it was beginning to crawl a little.
