Thruster Damage Inside Safe Zones Since Signals Patch
Last year I made a report to the Keen server admins that phantom damage was being caused to grids that are protected by safe zones (player and NPC alike). On some rare and random occasions this would cause the blocks to be deleted, by some means I couldn't determine. Before, this damage would lower the block integrity to zero percent, but not actually remove any components, and the two ways to "reset" the integrity was to grind and re-weld, or relocate from the area briefly.
However, since this latest patch this damage is no longer "phantom", and thrusters are able to remove components from grids that are inside any safe zone, causing them to drop below functionality and to be deleted entirely. I consider this to be a critical glitch that needs to be fixed ASAP.
I have the same bug
Hello, Mithridates!
Thank you for writing to us.
Could you kindly provide more information regarding this issue?
Did it occur in single-player mode, in a lobby, or on a dedicated server?
Was the world or server modded (having active MODs/Scripts)? If so, could you check if the issue persists in a vanilla (without any MODs/Scripts) world as well?
Additionally, was the entire grid completely within the safe zone, or was any part of it outside the safe zone?
Could you also please send us a screen recording/video showing the issue to help us replicate it on our end?
Kind Regards,

The damage occurs on the official Keen servers, and was observed on Keen CA#2. This has been observed by all players on that server, and occurs in all player-made safe zones. I have not yet tested it on an NPC station.
I will test later today to see if the damage continues in single player games. There are no mods, plugins or any other non-Vanilla systems active on my PC, as I primarily play on the Keen server.
The observed damage occurs when all grids are fully inside the safe zones, and the damage follows the hit box and range of the thrusters exactly. Multiple players have shared similar findings on that server, and unfortunately all of us have had to ban ships from visiting our bases until this is fixed. For added safety, I've had to relocate my safe zone underground, as someone could burn their way through the building where it normally resides. This is not feasible for those with space stations, as all it would take for someone to grief their base would be to get a thruster inside their zone.
