Trade station doesn't see inventory that has "share with faction" set but belongs to other player

Jzuken Chekumashevich shared this bug 3 years ago
Reported

Steps to reproduce:


1. Join a multiplayer/DS server.

2. Using your faction's member ship with all blocks set to "Share with faction" try to buy/sell at a store block or complete contract at a contract block


Expected behavior: Every container that has "share with faction" or "share with all" option is visible to the trade station when a faction member tries to trade.

Actual behavior: Only character's inventory available as an option, since grid's blocks are owned by another member. Share options are ignored by the store block.

Hello, Jzuken,

thanks for letting us know.

Can you provide a video showing the exact steps to reproduce, please?

If you have DS world where this issue can be reproduced and observed, can you share that as well?

You can access your save files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Saves.

Please zip the file and attach it here. If you are having difficulty attaching files you can optionally use Google Drive. When sharing a google drive link please make sure it is set to be downloadable by anyone with the link.

Kind Regards

I tested this bug on Official Server EU #2, but it is easy to replicate because it also happens on other DS for me. In fact I managed to capture 2 bugs at once - one that is discussed here, another is that sometimes in DS connectors don't show they are working:

Connector turns green when connected with a ship you own, it turns white when connected with another faction member's ship. So annoying. It cost me a 14mil contract.

Dear me. Today i visited that trader. By accident i found that contract as described here in accepted contracts. https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/26640-trading-using-faction-ships

Brought back 37 generators and got 14 mil...omg. How long do contracts last anyway???

This one was waiting for me for 1 year.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum.

We have another report from a player describing a similar issue. In that case, when using a faction member’s ship with blocks set to Share with faction, attempting to buy or sell at a Store block or complete a contract at a Contract block only allows access to the character’s inventory. The ship’s inventory is not available because the grid is owned by another faction member, and the share settings appear to be ignored by the Store block.

Could you please confirm whether your issue matches the behavior described in the above thread? If so, as you may have noticed, the issue is still under the Reported status and has not yet been fixed.

However, if the behavior is different in your case, we would appreciate it if you could share a screen recording/video showing the issue, including the ship's terminal to confirm the ship's ownership and blocks' sharing options. If possible, please also provide a blueprint of the ship so we can test it on our side.

  • You can access your blueprints files by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Blueprints. Select the correct folder where your blueprint is saved (local or cloud), zip the file and attach it here.

Kind regards,

Thank you for that information, as it seems like that was exactly my issue (using a faction members ship at npc station). Ship that is owned by me has no problems and I can access my cargo through store block.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for confirming.

Since the issue is the same and has already been reported internally but is not yet fixed, we will be merging your thread with the existing one for now.

We kindly ask you to keep an eye on the thread for any further updates regarding the issue being fixed/resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department
