Event Controller Forgetting Block Bug

Mike LaBorde shared this bug ago

Won't Fix

Block: Event Controller Block

Bug: Event Controller keeps settings but does not track the block its set up to observe

Event: Controller set up to observe Cargo full %, when under 50% activate events.

Events include turning on Sorter and Assembler

Sorter drains comps from Assembler into Cargo

Assembler creates preset comps to fill Cargo

over a period of time the lights on the block go green and stop watching the cargo block.

If the Cargo goes over 50% the event controller will ignore it. The problem is resolved when you change "Equal or greater to Equal or lesser" and back. It then will correct itself.

A problem this can cause for example is my current situation. As the event never triggers that the Cargo has gone past its % mark the assembler over produces, flooding several cargo containers.

For me this can be a resource problem but someone who relies on event blocks for docking or more dangerous flight tasks find themselves in a unexpected loss of a ship.

I have the same bug

Hello, Mike LaBorde,

I am sorry you are experiencing this issue. I tried to recreate your setup and I watched the event controller for a while but it was tracking it correctly. Could you share further information with me?

Sharing your save file and or blueprints would be very helpful to me.

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.

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.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
