dampener drift

Dirtmurrchant shared this bug ago

Need More Information

I have a moon base grid with a rover and a miner connected to it and after undocking, dampeners don't function properly in environments with gravity. This issue also renders the vehicle unable to fly upwards, usually leading to a crash.

in the posted video I am continually holding spacebar to go upwards, but it doesn't work until after I crash. You can see the animation for the thrusters not activate until after crashing.

This might actually be a system working as intended: I think your thrusters are starving for hydrogen.

I noticed that after you crashed your lifting thrusters weren't at full power, but you were clearly holding the spacebar to go up. with dampeners on and a limited supply of hydrogen, I have found my engines can starve if I make a lot of inputs.

What's confusing that is your UI reports full hydrogen. My guess is you need to turn your tanks off of stockpile after disconnecting, or you have a conveyor routing issue somehow.

No, that's not what's happening here. If it was stockpile being enabled then the thrusters wouldn't light at all, same if there was a routing issue. I have gone through the possible user errors and confirmed they aren't the issue here. If you want video proof of this I can provide it.

if you confirmed the tank is off stockpile yourself then that is the end of it, but o2/h2 generators can feed thrusters directly and feeding from only generators produces the symptoms you're experiencing in my experience. If you want to test if your hydrogen thrusters are starving, see how the thruster plume lengths change during maneuvers with dampeners on and off.

In your video, after the impact you are no longer moving horizontally over the surface, which is why I think the thrusters start to work; your dampeners were consuming hydrogen trying to arrest horizontal motion.

hello!

when the player is using stockpile mode of tanks, the thursters are not even appearing to thrust let alone to actully thrust

i have noticed this too, i usually not turn off dampeners when i am docked, but rather just keep those on, and turn off the h2 thrusters because then when i turn the thrusters back on, the dampeners are working right before undocking.

i think not just the h2 thrusters, but any thruster is bugged like this

Hello Engineer,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forum, and we sincerely apologize for the delayed response to this thread.

Since this is an older issue, could you please confirm if it has been resolved in the meantime, or if it still occurs in the current version of the game?

If the issue still persists, could you let us know whether it happens on a modded world/server (with active MODs) or on an unmodded one?

If it occurs in a modded world/server, please create a blueprint of the affected grid and paste it into a new vanilla/unmodded world to check if the issue still occurs there.

If it does, please send us the vanilla world save file along with a screen recording/video showing the issue.

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 or video(s) 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.

Kind regards,

Keen Software House: QA Department
