Dedicated server doesn't sync state across clients when block state modified by timer
Issue was discovered while setting up a public use safe zone, which requires allowing access to medical bay, which means anyone can turn it off.
Solution: timer block every few seconds to force block state back to "On".
If player modifies block state to off in control panel, and timer block forces block back to on, players control panel and visual state of the block still registers as off, but are able to interact with its actions (heal via medbay, or open/close via door). Visual state is not re-synced until player modifies again via their control panel.
Video of bug in action:

Reproduction rate: 50 out of 50
Affected Version: 1.187.***
Reproduction steps:
Blocks required:
- 1 Timer
- 1 Door
- 1 Interior Light
- 1 Battery
Set Timer with any delay (long enough to visually register state change) and actions as follows:
- Slot 1: (Door) Toggle On/Off
- Slot 2: (Light) Toggle On/Off
- Slot 9: (Timer) Start
Light is visual notification state is being changed.
Observed Behavior:
Interact with door while timer is changing state to show door emissive change state, and door cycles open and closed. Access door control panel and toggle power state of door.
Note: door emissive change to match players selected state and will not cycle despite timer block modifying power state.
Note: door is able to be cycled from open and closed state despite player control panel stating it is off ( or inversely unable to be opened while emissive marked as on ).
Expected Behavior:
Block state to be synced to client from server.
I have the same bug
I have confirmed that this behavior does happen and have provided user Hizumi Mizushiro the video that has been linked in report.

A player on my server found a same issue, but his problem was that the "manual" disable of the doors causes that the timer wasn't able to enable the door again. But a reconnect fixed it, so it looked like a server <-> client sync issue.

Same issue, changes in state caused by timer blocks/sensors are sometimes not visible to everybody.

Hello,
Thank you for nice and detailed report, we still weren't able to reproduce it though. :( Could you also share the world? Also what is the moment I have to switch the state? How often are you able to reproduce it successfully? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Maybe try to add alot of actions to the timer block. I'm mostly having that issue when turning on my automated drilling ship in multiplayer. It activated the drill, a rotor, some lights, changes overwrite on the gyroscopes and so on. When I relog it is all perfectly fine again.
I don't think it has anything to do with subgrids/rotors as it also happened to a gravity generator triggered by a sensor on my station.
Also this issue is not reproducable 100% of the time it seems to be random but it feels like it's more likely to happen with more people online and the server being online for a longer time (just a feeling though).

I was not able to reproduce this issue and since it is an old issue I am going to close it as won't fix.
If this still does happen to you, then please create a new ticket with up to date information for version 196.016.
