Ore Detector incorrectly reporting ore

Ceige shared this bug 4 years ago
Won't Fix

I'm running on a dedicated server on the latest version of Space Engineers. I am playing with two other people who do not seem to have this issue. No mods are on the server, however we are playing in experimental mode. We have just started so no scripts are running and we only have the respawn pod and a small platform with some wind turbines, a basic assembler, basic refinery, and a survival kit. I'm not sure if any of that is relevant, so I'm just providing all the information I can think of. When I go to mine an ore vein (specifically one from one of the rocks on the surface, not a vein underground) my drill reports one kind of ore and I can see the texture on the outside of the rock indicating it is the same ore. When I mine the rock, I can fall through it but the mesh for the rock stays the same, it does not look like it has been dug into. Then the ore changes from one to another. I just had this happen on three separate rocks back to back. I fly around and mark them and come back later to mine them. This time when I mined what I thought was iron, it then became cobalt. As you can see in the attached screenshot it looks like both textures are there now. My drill reports cobalt mostly but it seems from certain angles I can still get it to read that there is iron in the rock. My friends when they look at the rock only see cobalt and everything looks normal to them. I tried logging off and back in and went to the next rock and a similar thing happened. This time it turned from iron to silicon. I am initially using the right click drill to dig into the rock and get some of the outer layer of stone out of the way. Left click drilling seems to drop the correct ore (the one reported after the change that is the ore that my friends are seeing).
