Space Engineers Automatons Issue

Harry Willetts shared this bug ago

Won't Fix

Hi, I recently was trying out the new space Engineers update. However I have found a few issues:

- sometimes the AI Combat Offensive can get itself very stuck, where it either endlessly circles (in sync) with an opposing enemy without shooting, or just stands still.

- A drone on follow me mode seems to completely disregard heading and just randomly spin (still follow though), especially in proximity to the ground (on planets)

- A small grid drone which is less than 1m high (but around 2m width and 3m height) fails to pathfind into a 1m tall gap at any width. It just tries for a few seconds before returning to Idle state on the controller. (precision mode and grid avoidance is on, on planet surface)

- Spawning an ai grid with collision avoidance on a planet right next to a grid and below its minimum height does not move.

I was wondering if there was any debug overlay I could turn on to help me diagnose what is going on?

Thank you for your assistance in advance.

I have the same bug

Hello, Harry Willetts,

I am sorry you are experiencing these issue and thank you for reporting to us. Please only share one issue per one thread. I would like to ask you to open more threads for each issue you are having.

I will assist you with the: "- sometimes the AI Combat Offensive can get itself very stuck, where it either endlessly circles (in sync) with an opposing enemy without shooting, or just stands still." problem here.

I tested it in my world and I tried to change the settings to test them out. But my drone followed me on planets without a problem. Can you please share your world here so that I can test it out there?

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\SpaceEngineers\Saves. There should be a folder with your SteamID and your 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.

Please if possible also share your world in the other threads.

Also about the: "A small grid drone which is less than 1m high (but around 2m width and 3m height) fails to pathfind into a 1m tall gap at any width. It just tries for a few seconds before returning to Idle state on the controller. (precision mode and grid avoidance is on, on planet surface)". This is an intended feature as the gap is too small for the drone to fit in when precision mode is on.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
