Small grid items do not spawn at unidentified signal 2
Investigating
Solved = sadly false
Still happens often.
see pic, i just walked in a freshly spawned Bio Facility signal, deference were all there, everything was intact, the drill was there only the SG item was missing.
Happened on Steam EU2 just now.
Please, just a add a SG small battery to SG proto items and they will not get wiped by cleanup.
The only SG items that i always find are batteries, so i am assuming un powered items get wiped. Also SG batteries have lots of decorative blocks on them SG refinery and jump drive have less, could be the low block count that gets them wipedm since they changed server cleanup settings.

I had one yesterday, and another a day ago. Both were SG item at Biofacility signal.

Happens often, basically only small batteries are safe, i find them at all signals, on High Profile Transport i find them floating around, but they get stuck on the walls around magnetic plate. In warship mag plate is mostly empty and no SG item. I assume Warship has a larger hangar, and when it maneuvers to avoid the player they fly away from detached mag plate, reach high speed and get destroyed on impact with hangar walls.

Do you guys even care ? Do i keep reporting this or you cant be bothered to fix the problem?
I see no initiative from your side, no questions, no progress?

Hello,
Thank you for the report and for continuing to follow up — and I’m really sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The team has been deeply focused on preparing the next update, but your feedback hasn’t been overlooked.
Just to clarify: the original issue you reported quite some time ago — where small grid items didn’t spawn correctly at signals — was fixed before the 206 update. That problem was tied to how magnetic plates worked during grid initialization, and it was fully resolved back then.
What you’re experiencing now seems to be something different. While it might look similar on the surface, we believe the cause is likely unrelated to the previous bug. It might have to do with cleanup behavior or something else entirely, and we’ll need to investigate further to understand it.
We appreciate your observations, especially the detailed examples — they help a lot. Please rest assured that we’ll look into it as soon as possible.
Kind Regards,
Ludmila Danilchenko
