Attaching a Small ship to Big Ship Makes the Large Ship Fall down at a very slow speed

Need More Information

Whenever I attach a small ship to my large ship (Via Landing Gear), it seems to slowly make the large ship continuously descend at a slow speed (.34 m/s). When I've read about this online it seems to have to have a few answers like, Disabling the thrusters on the small ship and gyroscopes, Turning of the internia dampeners on the small ship, and among others saying that the game itself simply just doesn't know what to do with the calculations, Weight doesn't appear to be an issue because When i load cargo in it with no ship it hovers just fine with no issues, I have clips of what I'm seeing if needed

Hello Adam,

thank you for reaching our forum with this problem.

Can you please provide me more information on the subject?

It would be best, if you can share me a video showing the problem on your side, and also would be able to share me a safe file, where the affected grids would already be in place.

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.

With the video and save file, I should be able to follow your steps exactly and reproduce this also on my side.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Hello Adam,

thank you for your reply.

It seems that I am not able to locate the shared files.

Can you please double check that they are zipped properly and attached here or pasted e.g. to Google Drive or such?

Thank you.

I have noticed this when adding thrusters to an existing ship. Even if the ship has more than enough thrusters to maintain altitude adding a thruster will make it drop just a bit. I have added a large thruster and had the ship crash to the ground with what seemed like all thrusters turned off. It seems to be that "adding a thruster or ship" is causing problems with the existing thrusters.
