All Prototech Blocks Unclaimable In Survival:

I am a Server owner and community manager, and my community and I have found a critical bug with Prototech resulting from the latest update.

Put simply, all Prototech blocks do not actually convert to player ownership, and are deleted after the encounter timer runs out. This is despite the blocks being hacked, on an owned grid, and trying extra tools such as !fixship.

What this means is players can not get any Prototech, as even once owned it is delated. Naturally this is a large frustration for general gameplay, and trying to get the new Prototech O2 Generator. Especially to the later being a central part of the latest update, this seems like a critical bug, as none of the players have been able to get it!

We have observed this bug on our server, Beyond The Nebula, but have also replicated it in vanilla personal survival worlds on multiple players accounts. It can be circumvented with creative tools by repasting the grid, but naturally this is not possible for survival players.

If anyone wants to contact us, join our servers Discord, and let us know and we will further help test/resolve this issue -> https://discord.gg/hsP3CPkC8X

you have not mentioned claiming blocks

We tested that also, it dose not work. The bug is that you can "claim"/take ownership of the block, but it still thinks it is owned by the FTCM and gets deleted.

tools show authorship, control panel shows ownership

Yes, all the normal signs say a player owns the block, and it is still deleted. It was even stumping a 8K hour player...

I ment to attach this image. It shows the block being owned, yet still counting down to be deleted, witch it did end up.

Your continuing ignorance of distinction between authorship ("Built by:", PCU, red Claim button) and ownership (control panel, computers, hacking) casts doubt on your understanding of the game mechanics. 93ca19ad07699fc38675ad92c488dfdc

Below the name of the block (Prototech Refinery) it says "Built by: The Factorum". If the player had correctly claimed authorship/pcu, it would say "Built by: yournamehere". They do that with a red claim button. This feature was added with the Signal update, May 2024.

Yes, we know the top right always says Built By The Factorum, that is not what we were highlighting in this screen shot. Look at the top left build info tab (see attached image also) and it will show you the owner is a player "TBM Gohanz". However despite this, the block is still being counted down to respawn, witch it did while being owned.

Not a bug then but works exactly as is supposed to.

So the blocks getting deleted after being owned is not a bug?
