Drilled ore spawns offset to the drilled location

Thorwin Vogt shared this bug 3 years ago
Solved

Issue

Drilling ore usually spawns the ore close to the drilled position. However, when being far away from the worlds center, i noticed that 2 light seconds is already enough, then the ore will simply spawn either at an offset to the drilled location, or it will spawn completely at another position. This might be caused by the fact, that the world uses double precision for literally everything, or at least supports it, thats why one can spawn planets that far away from the center. However, the drill might not use it to spawn the ore, it only uses floating point precision there. That might cause the offset of the spawned or at large distances from the world center.

Replication

To replicate the issue, simply spawn one planet close to the worlds center and begin mining on it with the hand drill. Ore should spawn as expected. Now create another planet at around 2ls away from the systems center. Again, mine ore on it and you should notice, it does not spawn at the mined position.


The issue was reported to me multiple times by users using my SEWorldGenPlugin, that generates large solar systems in SE, and some planets might be quite the distance away from the systems center, so users noticed it.
