Just figured out you have to change the view of your typing area first, anyhow I am just gonna copy paste what I had already tried to type in a Word doc.

"Since I am unable to type in the typing area for unknown reasons, I am just gonna import a Word document.

Since the latest update that added the decoration pack and such, ones in a while one of my drills will stop functioning. On two-drilled ships always the right, but I built a monstrosity of a ship with 9 one time, after a few minutes there is always one that is dysfunctional. Reloading the world sometimes works, and sometimes it does not. This really affects mining on an annoying level. Not even reconstructing the drill works. Destroying then rebuilding, nuh uh. It really gets in the way when you want to RMB some terrain away with your ship, it is currently affecting me on the moon whilst I want to dig my way into an Iron ore deposit that I’ve found near my new base location. Look into this bug ASAP please."

Hello, Winston,

as I see that this thread is rather old now, can you please either confirm or disprove that you are still suffering from this issue? It is likely to be fixed by various game fixed and updates, but please, if you are still experiencing it, let me know.

The blueprint of this said ship and the video of this bug happening would be great help!

Thanks in advance for letting me know.

Kind Regards

Hello Ondrej,


Let me be honest, I forgot this support ticket even existed.

But glad you sent me an email about it. Sometimes when alt-tabbing and retabbing into the game will disable both or one of my drills on a mining ship at random.

I am still experiencing this bug, however, not nearly as much as when I was playing the game 22 months ago. I almost never get this bug nowadays, maybe that's because I alt-tab less or it's because something in Space Engineer's code has slightly fixed the issue. The last time I got this bug was around last Tuesday, I've been on a break from my survival world since. You know how it is, solo-big projects are tiring.


Thank you for still paying attention to this ticket that I had completely forgotten.

If there's anything I can do to help out please let me know!

Hello, Winston,

thanks for coming back to this thread.

Well, I did test it some decent time (around an hour of tabbing in and out if the game, using all methods of drills running (LMB, RMB, turning them on by hotkey)) and still no luck.

I will keep this issue in the mind, and will keep an eye for it for some time; probably around 14 days from now. If I still can not reproduce it, I will close this thread as it seems rather edge case.

If you will experience it again, though, can I ask you to do a video of this bug happening? Is it possible you share me the blueprint of some affected ship if there is any one special (I use mostly the base one from Earth base), or you do experience it with various ships, so it does not matter what ship you use?

Thanks for clarifying and possibly for providing the video/BP.

If you won´t experience it in given time frame and I won´t experience it neither, I will close this thread as written above. Hope you understand.

Kind Regards

Hello, Engineer!


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
