this has been done countless times, and the station i'm using has been showing no sign of repair, i'm just glad the server i'm on has storage bleed turned off or we would have lost about 8 million volume of cargo due to this bug
Yes it has, Benevolent27 and I have been trying very hard to figure out how to fix it but we've been hitting a wall. Any solution we do, including spawning a new blueprint gets the same results, sometimes it will link properly then completely corrupt on the next load.
I noticed that I couldn't seem to set symmetry planes without having a block in an active hotbar slot. Have you noted the same with your issue?
Do you have other members in your faction that can check the storage? A friend in faction was at our main station (which spends most its time unloaded) after the update, and tried to access storage's. He found the storage unlinked to the cargo space (which I had reconnected earlier in the day, along with trigger area, activation and warp gates), and was giving the warning: over capacity 12600.1%. He then tried to reconnect the storage to the 3 separate groups of cargo space we have set up, but it fixed nothing. I then went back to check it (was working on another station), and I was seeing only 67% full, no warning, everything connected as it should be. Clearing his cliant cache/ reloading the sector/ another relinking of storage-cargo didn't resolve the issue. Seemed the problem was limited to him. I put a single cargo & storage pair on the station with hull in it, he had no problems with accessing/ using that one.
It is possible to make most of the build mode panel transparent, although we were undecided whether to do it or not.
Example picture (edit, forgot to link the picture ^^):
Note: The empty space in between is still unusable, you can't click/build through it.
The info box at the left of the screen can be hidden:
- If you're talking about the structure info, look for that toggle in the Display menu of the build mode panel on the right.
- If you're looking to hide more information of your FPS and memory usage at the bottom left, look for the setting "Tech Info" in Options menu -
Settings - Genera
As for the menu names when minimized, I don't think we can easily adjust the amount of space they take, especially if some translations for them could be longer than the English one.
The option to completely minimize the build mode menu seems unnecessary though, as at least 2 or 3 of its sub menus get used frequently in building.
Personally, I don't see the need for a reset button when you can simply left click to set each slider to 1. But if we do some form of quick resetting, it needs to apply on all sliders or else you get inconsistent behavior for sliders that look exactly the same.
Adding a button for each group of sliders would result in quite a lot more vertical spaces needed.
Perhaps right clicking a slider resets it? You still need to do it multiple times if there are more than one slider, but it's something extremely quick as you barely have to aim your mouse.
Interesting idea, giving some extra hud functionality only when wearing a helmet would be neat and also makes sense. Not entirely sure if we'll do the exact same thing you're suggesting but it's something to consider for sure.

Good find. Not all linking right now has this outline effect on purpose, as logic to logic/rails doesn't really benefit from it.
In this case, it's an inconsistency to be ironed out. Will make a bug report for that.
We noticed something similar on the test server for a few sectors that weren't loaded for a while (most likely not loaded since last release). Unloading and loading that sector again got rid of any of those issues though. We were unable to reproduce this afterwards as even a direct conversion of previous release to latest Dev build didn't trigger anything out of the ordinary.
Going to check it out again, maybe I get lucky this time.

Thanks! We'll add it to the list.
I checked this after reading your comment, and it's exactly how you described the problem/solution. The symmetry planes can't be fixed on any given block of a structure until you scroll the active slot on the hotbar to a position containing a block (i.e. we remain in the "click on block" step of setting a symmetry plane if the selected hotbar slot is empty).
It was actually like that before this update for me, with every previous version of the game. I have always been unable to set a symmetry plane without having a block in my active slot.
Hey vindicator,
