Shield dispensers replaced with power generators in hotbar.

[Majorfatboy]

After a few days worth of successful flight tests on My new light carrier, I decided to completely gut it's current power/shieldplant for something with more juice. So there I am, more then two hours into it, With all My shield and power generator blocks in My hot bar, when I notice ALL the shield blocks in My hotbar have just instantly transformed into power generators! All sixteen thousand of them. I confirmed it was not a case of just the graphics getting mixed up, the game identified these as power generators. Placing and removing them altered My power regen rates. Taking already-placed shield blocks added them to My hotbar in a new slot, as if I did not already have them in My inventory.

So I exited the game and went back in, hoping that would clear it. Nope.

I now have an additional 16,000 power generator blocks, to go with the 8,000 I already had. It's a shame I no longer have any shield blocks to go with them......

With a bug this bad, I don't think I can attempt doing anything in-game out of fear of My inventory disappearing.

Current Version: v0.09441; build 20131028_235629; Launcher 9.

Wow, that\'s a unique bug. Has it happened more than once? Has anyone else had this happen, and was there any correlating cicumstances?

This is the first time this, or anything like this, has happened in the roughly three weeks I\'ve been playing. I only play single player, so I\'ve got no one else to follow up on this. I can post the thread dumps, if that would help. Looks like I\'ve got three dumps from that time frame, due to Me exiting / entering the client hoping it would clear the bug.

The only thing I can think of was I was repeatedly placing and removing both shield and generator blocks in rapid succession for a few hours straight, trying to figure out a good pattern.

I\'ll provide any info you guys want.

Actually this just happened to me on multiplayer. I was adding sheilds 10x10x10 with symmetry on and then a few items on my hotbar became sheilds..

I wonder if this part of the log has anything to do with it.

Powertank got switched to Powergenerator



I suspect: \"inventory management for building has been moved to server to combat duplication/loss due to lag\" (last patchnotes)

Few times hull blocks have transformed to hull corner blocks at same color.

 

[MrFURB]

Alright, thanks for your replies, guys. It seems the bug is most likely related to the server-side inventory changes, and probably isn\'t related to lag at all. I\'ll let the Testers/dev\'s know.

 

[NotoriousGIB]

I\'ve just had this happen to me, and it happened to my mate on the server last night. It\'s stopped me in my tracks. Is there a fix to this yet?

 

[AtraUnam]

I know what causes this bug, it is easy to replicate.
