Game corrupts saved games and timer blocks aren't working

This bug seems recreation of bug I reported earlier ("Multiple bugs appeared", Closed #14303-06-12)

Steps to reproduce issue: try to group thrusters and turn them on/off with timer blocks. Thrusters turn "dead" or some of them might work. Replacing thrusters with new ones may work once, maybe.. or just some of them. Timer blocks just can't turn on/off thrusters for some reasons.

I attached file where my creation is.

About save game option - I've noticed saved game isn't actually from the moment it's been made. For instance huge construction front of me, spinning slowly. If I save game when it's in 90 degrees and 100 meters away, next time I load save game it's not in 90 degrees, can be like 45 degrees and moved hundred meters or so. It's like game keeps calculating movement from saved game to current time and replaces object's coords with current coords instead of those in saved game when reloading saved game.

And what comes to timer blocks, lots of problems with them in recent times. If timer block 1 should put thrusters on, timer block 2 off, timer block 3 on etc. thrusters usually stop responding after timer block 1. They may work all the way from start to finish once, but never again after that. If they worked in saved game, they will not work when you reload saved game.

Hello i7fin!

Is it please possible to provide a video of the issue happening? I have been having a look at your save but am unable to quite understand the issue. A video would be a great help :)

Kind Regards,

Trying to show the bugs in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86LNAUjW0Ps

I was lucky actually, managed to get 50% of thrusters working. Quite often it's 100% disappoitment. I removed all hinges and managed to get thrusters working thru all timer blocks (tried twice), so maybe hinges make timer blocks bug with thrusters. Any kind of thrusters.

Also the view thingy - seems it's not happening unless object has gravity. It kinds of spins object little and even moves the object over the time and when I reload saved game looks like game has been calculating object's angle/distance all the time and updates coords instead of using them from saved game.

Hello, Engineer!

Thanks for sharing the saved game file and the video with us. We greatly appreciate it.

Our QA Team has gone through your saved file, and following the steps you suggested, we have successfully reproduced the Thruster On/Off issue with timer blocks. Though we have a way around which you can try to resolve this particular issue ;

1. Press K to access the grid's terminal
2. Find/Click on the M-Hydros group and Disable the Thrust Override (for testing purpose)
3. Find/Click on the M-Timer Block 2 and click on Setup Actions. Here in the Toolbar, right-mouse-click on the M-Hydros (which opens the options for this action) and right-mouse-click on the Toggle Block On.
4. Press the Esc button and find/click on the M-Timer Block 3 and click on Setup Actions. Here in the Toolbar, right-mouse-click on the M-Hydros (which opens the options for this action) and click right-mouse-click on the Toggle Block On.
5. Press the Esc button twice and Manually trigger M-Timer Block 1. Thrusters should work as expected now.

Please let us know if this works for you.

Concerning Grouped hinges and view issue, could you please confirm if you are still experiencing this issue?

We are looking forward to assisting you.

Kind Regards
