Issues with atmospheric thrusters not receving power

Euan Barclay shared this bug 5 years ago
Won't Fix

When I try to use Atmospheric thrusters in any of my 3 creative worlds, they do not receive any power. Tried to use override but it just gave me 0.0

And they are not working? What planet elevation (not altitude) have you tried? Atmo thrusters ain't working over coupl thousands meters, I believe some moded planets might have elevated surface so much you won't be able to use this type of thrusters. You should contain more information about problem, version, mods used, scenario when it happens, this might help resolving your problem.

This Issue is happening accross multiple worlds. I dont have any mods applied but i do have may downloaded. I do also have many workshop creations downloded an the Atmo trusters on them dont work either. I did just create a new world for a total of 4 worlds and the atmo thrusters are working but in my other 3 worlds they are not. the world i was in last befor the thrusters stopped working did have many planets spawned in but in the other 2 worlds i have done almost nothing and the thrusters dont work. I am very close to the planets surface.

I have been able to reproduce a similar problem a few times on titan in survival in the latest release (was also happening a couple times during public test). Still quite random. hard to reproduce. I cant force it to happen with these steps below but these are the steps that sometimes cause it.

Atmo thruster on battery powered craft.

Connect to a station on the ground using connector lock (not P). A Gravity is 0.00 and P Gravity is 0.25

Set battery on craft to recharge

to disembark enter craft and set battery to auto

occasionally i will notice the atmo thrusters turbine is not spinning and know this bug has occurred.

if i disconnect in this state the thrusters will not power up. the rest of the craft has power. gyros work etc.

Only way to fix. save. close session. continue save. No need to restart SE.

Hope this helps.

I have had this issue also as Danny described, however i was using Ion thrusters. As Danny said docking/undocking/messing with battery's tends to trigger this issue, the ion thruster shows as on in the terminal but it has no visual glow like its not powered on. Ship unable to move. reloading the save will solve it.

In my case it was in space with a large grid ship and a small grid drone with a connector.

I have a very similar issue with the thrusters losing all power, however I don't turn off the batteries. In my case, the loss of power usually happens shortly after disconnecting from a connector port. Shortly after disconnecting, the thrusters all seem to stop working, and only way to get them back is close the game and continue.


Also the same, it is quite random, I cannot force it to happen. It is very frustrating.

Hello, Engineers!

As this thread as well as last comments here are quite old now, can I please ask if any of you are still experiencing it even nowadays (v197.181)?

If yes, can you please share the save where this issue is happening?

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 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.

That would be great help, as well as a video where this bug is visibly happening.

Thanks in advance for your reply and for providing the files.

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineers!


Because there is no new comment from you, and we are unable to reproduce the issue on our own, I will close this thread now as outdated.


If you or any other player will experience this issue again, please make a new thread and provide all needed info there.


Thank you for understanding.


Kind Regards
