Permanent Death breaks Economy

Dying with permanent death enabled results in the inventory account balance reading "Error, Account Not Found".

No monetary interactions (including but not limited to the economy admin panel, ATM and store sales) work for the player unless using Space Credit items to make a purchase.

Economy accounts other than the affected players' will still work properly.

Bounties provide reputation but no monetary reward.

Relogging may work as a temporary fix, but is undesirable given multi-minute world load times with relatively light modding.

Bug does not occur on every death, but every time permadeath works properly it occurs. (I suspect that may be a separate issue, possibly having to do with the autorespawn)

Does not take affect in creative mode worlds. (But somewhat expectedly, none of the other features of permadeath do either)

Steps to repeat:

-> New Game

-> Custom Game

-> Select any world

-> Game mode --> Survival

-> Advanced

-> Enable the Permanent Death toggle

-> Ok

-> Start

-> If given an option, Select 'Space Suit'

— I have not tested if Respawn Pod Survival Kits interfere with permadeath.

-> Upon spawning, open your inventory.

-> Notice "Account Balance: 10000(SC)" above your inventory.

-> Close your Inventory

-> If using a keyboard, press 'Backspace' (or your Respawn keybind if it's rebindable)

--> If using a controller, press (R3) and find Respawn (iirc its indicated by a skull and crossbones).

--->Now, one of two things will have happened. Either permadeath worked, or it didn't. If you automatically respawned, then it probably didn't. If you have a "Body Location" GPS marker then it didn't work.

->If it didn't work (check balance in inventory), then Respawn again.

— If you are in the respawn screen, or have no "Body Location" GPS marker, then it likely worked.

--> If you are in the respawn menu, select a respawn option. You should get a pop-up about permadeath. (Something along the lines of 'By respawning you are forced to create a new character and will lose all ownership and reputation' or smth) Select Proceed, Okay, Continue or whatever the option is, I can't remember.

--> Open Inventory

--> Notice "Account Balance: Error, Account Not Found"
