[1.210.012] grid storage backend file missing

Dalten shared this bug ago

Investigating

Good morning team,

I'm the server admin for a dedicated server (not torch). Last night, a user placed a ship into Grid Storage and attempted to withdraw it today unsuccessfully. server logs show the following for several attempts:

2026-08-02 11:46:10.280 - Thread: 36 -> Info: Executing retrieval order by 'Alydar' for the grid '[M-F] [Aly] Vulture' 2026-08-02 11:46:10.288 - Thread: 12 -> Failed to deserialize file 'C:\ProgramData\SpaceEngineersDedicated\LegionOfDreams\Saves\Tellaria\gs-d6ab653c-0f9a-4b76-a079-5028c969c661-detail.sbc' 2026-08-02 11:46:10.296 - Thread: 36 -> Info: [M-F] [Aly] Vulture retrieval order failed with 'UnspecifiedStorageIssue' error and was returned to the queue

Inspecting the server's filesystem, it turns out the backend files "gs-d6ab653c-0f9a-4b76-a079-5028c969c661-detail.sbc" and "gs-d6ab653c-0f9a-4b76-a079-5028c969c661.sbcb5" are not anywhere in the world save, or located in any of the snapshot backup folders taken every 15min.

I speculate that while this UID is referenced in the grid storage index for that player on the main save file, the corresponding object files never got written to disk. Please ask the devs to investigate the grid storage data saving workflow. let me know if you need more info. thanks.

I have the same bug

I asked the player to provide us a copy of the blueprint of the affected ship he placed into storage.

as stated earlier, vanilla dedicated server 1.210.012

this has been done once, because the player doesn't want to risk a second ship on this process.

1. interact with service terminal

2. select active ship, click store.

3. several days later, interact with another terminal.

4. select ship, click retrieve

5. wait for retrieval timer to complete, click deploy. error appears in game and in server logs

server log attached containing requested mod inventory at the beginning.

as stated already, there are no grid storage files for this object, just the reference in the index.

I cannot publish the world save publicly, may I submit a download link to the world save to you privately by email or another means?

Blueprint link in Steam Workshop is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3777602124

It was my ship that failed to respawn, even though it showed it in Services Terminal and made me wait 10 minutes.

One correction to the previous sequence. I placed the ship into Services Terminal on Triton as it had been damaged on the bottom. I then flew to my asteroid base above Earthlike and attempted to retrieve it. No more than an hour after saving. Ship WAS damaged when it was placed into storage so I wanted to repair in Zero G to get at the underside.
