Zone does not prevent block deletion caused by damage if shooting is on

Hello, Jason!

Thank you for writing to us.

We noticed from the shared video link that you have MODs active in the world/server where you reproduced this issue locally. Could you kindly share more information on whether the issue persists even in a vanilla world/server (with no active MODs or scripts)?

If the issue still occurs in the vanilla world/server, is it the same issue as you noticed on EU#1?

Please send us a screen recording/video showing the issue in the vanilla world/server and the vanilla world/server save file.

still works. I started fresh and used just the quickstart mission adding a reactor and zone only.

So this is what I tried.

Clicked Quickstart.

ALT+F10 turn on admin mode so I can paste stuff.

pasted zone + large reactor next to grinder pit. fill with appropriate fuel.

turn off guns on red base and ship

Turn zone on and set to 100 m

go out to blue ship and make owner space pirate. set guns to shoot propulsion.

I added toggle to bar to turn on shooting on artillery so I wouldn't have to mess with that once I got it aimed it would just shoot.

move ship in range of red base (600m or so)

shots disappear when they hit the zone.

I turn on shooting. Now shots penetrate from both sides. (side note the impact of the artillery spun the solar panel rotor so it was applying force to objects)

so far no damage.

Turn on damage for a few seconds then turn it off. the grids within the zone continue to take damage.

i go step by step with the quick start adventure and show what I did.

they uses to stop at the edge and even stopped at the edge when i first setup a test. But once i turn on shooting it looks like shots from both sides can now go through the zone. turn on damage and damage will continue to get through even after its turned back off. I noticed in my last tet that artillery was tearing off chunks but the gatling turret shooting at a relay barely did 3 steel plates worth of damage. so its like the damage isnt going through but it will still calculate if the block is destroyed or if its force getting through maybe once damaged they continue to deform and turning on damage just gave blocks a chance to deform a bit which was enough for the physics to still destroy them. Thruster damage still gets through shields so it could be something with non weapon damage.

Could be physics doing the damage since the gatling impacts dont apply physics. that's my guess.

I think the reason the gambler took damage was I used it in game for ages and it had minor damage and repairs before I blueprinted it so all the damage was already there.
