Ship goes dead when disconnecting from base

Alex R shared this bug 5 years ago

Hello,


I posted this on the steam forum yesterday, and am bringing it here.

The bug essentially is, I build a base, build small mining ship, build connectors on each, connect up, charge batteries, decouple connectors, ship immediately goes dead and is permanently unusable. I have to grind it all down and rebuild the ship from scratch as a new grid in order to get a usable ship again.


The connector is on the bottom of my ship, and the base connector is pointing upwards, then I land on the connector to attach. I have yet to try a side or top connector because bottom connector makes for easy first mining ship design.


I realized I was forgetting to switch the battery mode back from recharge to auto, but when I did that, and disconnected while I was on auto, I wound up permanently magnetized to the point in space where the connect on my base was, even after I removed both it and the ship's connector. This caused me to flail about wildly in my ship as I was trying to lift off but was being dragged back to a point in midair.


I've attached my log files, hopefully it helps. I tried clearing my cache to see if that would fix the problem, so one log file is from before and one log file is from after that. I don't have any .sbs files since I was playing on a multiplayer server, but if needed I can try to recreate the problem in single player, and record video as well. (Edit: Just tried this, wasn't able to get it to do the same thing in creative, if it happens in multiplayer again I will post a video.)

Here is video of the bug in action https://www.twitch.tv/videos/399555311


Ship no longer goes dead but is now permanently magnetized to the ground. Also, this was after one mining run, I was initially able to connect and disconnect without a problem before I unloaded any cargo. After unloading, the bug happened
