Action Relay not working over Laser Antenna connection after Contact Update

Hi there, I have encountered a serious issue in trying to set up an automated defense grid setup in space engineers.


I was trying to make an action relay send a signal to a main base to report when a grid encountered a hostile ship. This worked fine in small localized testing using regular antenna, but my goal was to have this thousands of KM away and communicating over laser antenna.


As it turns out, after the contact update laser antenna REFUSE to send action relay signals in any shape or form over their connection. The antenna show they are connected, the relay says laser antenna are connected, I can access terminals across both grids, but the actual relay signal will not be sent. Regular antenna works perfectly fine still too (of every type I might add, yes I tested every single variant of antenna) but the laser ones just do not.


I am not the only one to encounter this issue as well, user "Alyero" on the official KSH discord tested the exact setup I was testing and encountered the same failure to communicate. Additionally the user "Derp123reDerpening" on the Space Engineers reddit with full details of testing the issue of their own setup failing to even turn on and off a light.


Please fix this, its a huge selling point for both the action relay and laser antenna to me especially post signal-update, even featuring in the official trailer for it only to be completely broken now. This bug prevents an entire kind of setup and effectively forces people to use one of the only good use cases for the laser antenna, which so severely deserves more love. (Including a model refresh god its so dated but hey, bug fix first x~x)
