I was just trying to play one of the servers for the first time. After a great deal of work on a new base, I went after an unknown signal only to discover that ALL MY GPS COORDS HAVE BEEN DELETED. So now I can't find my base, and even if I respawn it doesn't show up!

This is a hell of a bug!

GPS coordinates and Prototec blocks were disappeared when logging in

Hi,

as I logged into the Keen EU #1 server today, all GPS markers and the two Prototec blocks I had were gone.

GPS markers: That is really nasty because it takes a lot of time to find those locations where to dig for the needed ores.

Prototec blocks: Well, you know how to get them...

Jump drive and drill are gone. The blocks were inside and nothing was damaged or hacked. The blocks were merged to the structure of my ship and I used them already. I have enough energy and an automation for my reactor to be activated when the batteries are below 10% until they reach 50%. Additionally there are five solar panels that will provide more than enough energy if the main consumers are deactivated. I still had more than enough uranium when logging in. So: where is my stuff, why is it gone? Everything else was still in place.

I have the same bug

To the OP. Don't post two separate bugs in one post. It'll just get lost or ignored.

As far as disappearing GPS, it seems to happen on log-off. Both logging off when the character is out in the open as saved inside of a cryochamber.

Hello Engineers,

We are currently investigating the issue. Unfortunately, we’re unable to restore your GPS at this time. However, we’re actively working on a solution to prevent this from happening in the future.

Donald, Todd, Ilsa, and Harald — since your reports were duplicates, we’ve merged them into the original thread for clarity.

Thank you,

Funny thing: I think I have seen two of my GPS markers flashing once when I looked in the direction of them. The color was wrong, it was an orange and not the default blue that these two positions had.

So the data might still be there, only in the wrong data structure?

And the next, not so funny thing: Just logging in again, and the two or three GPS markers I made yesterday, are also gone.

As this is the main data needed to get around in space, the game gets unplayable with this bug.

Thanks for that hint, but I'm playing under Linux and there you can only copy into the clipboard from SE exactly one time. Pasting is always possible.

I'm not reporting this bug, for it is a Linux only problem and Linux is not supported.

In most cases this is no problem, but when exchanging GPS coordinates, it is a little bit annoying.
