[1.205] Prototech / Factorum Encounters have too little energy.

Industries Dragon shared this feedback ago

Not Enough Votes

Issue: any Prototech encounter that is not stationary (For example a Warship or a High Profile Transport) has too little energy and Will run out of power no matter what after 1-3 minutes.

It ruins the whole point of having them as it takes a single Player to fly close, aggro the ship so it starts using all of its thrusters and just fly away and let it chase it, only for it to run out of power and from there you can do whatever you want without even having a ship. Its especially annoying knowing that I could do this with no starting ship just a character.

Issue source: The reactors on the larger ships seems to either not get any uranium put into their reactors, or the amount is so small (5-15 is far too little for these ships) that its not enough, especially if the player only goes to the encounter in the last 20-30 mins and the batteries charging takes away a portion of it.

Please increase the uranium count to at least 100 so they last longer.

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for your report.

To clarify the behavior: the Factorum ship does not consume resources until it is claimed. As a result, it won’t run out of energy simply by following a target; it must be claimed first. Once claimed, the ship eventually depletes its energy, but this occurs over a period longer than 3 minutes—typically between 10 and 15 minutes based on our testing.

This is not a bug, but your feedback is valuable. We will move this to the Feedback section to allow the community an opportunity to vote on it.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hey KSH QA,

To clarify some things this was in an unmodded world, single player set to offline, and survival. To note this doesn't only happen when the encounter chases someone, happens when its far away too. Plus as I'm in offline mode, while your statement is true in most cases I assume, it might be a little bugged as of everything being loaded in an offline world. Look I can upload a video of the encounter problem later when I get back from work to show the issue in an almost exact world but please check it in a similar world of mine to make sure.

Hi,

if you can share a video or additionally the save file when it run outs of energy, we can take a look at it. 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. Thank you.

Kind Regards

Hey QA,

I sent an email directly to "support@keenswh.com" with both my original map and my test map, the video of the test is being uploaded to youtube right now. I'm taking these to mail since for one, my original map contains creations I don't want people to download at will and two the video contains my steam id in a couple places, so I hope you understand the reasoning. You should be able to find the email under: "[1.205] Prototech power issue / Old claim system potential issue."

Best Regards,

Dragon
