No cargo ships after last update

Need More Information

Since the latest update anytime I start a new world I am not getting any cargo ships to spawn in space. Tried in fresh unmodded saves and with mods that increase encounter rates.


I’ve even gone so far as to upload saves to mod.io, download them on my computer to alter the config file to check and alter the rate chances and still no encounter. Only the factorum spawns.

Hello, Engineer!


We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues. Unfortunately no support for modded worlds is provided.

Could you please let us know what settings you're using for unmodded worlds and what specific worlds you're using? Specifically:

  • Total PCU
  • Encounter amount
  • Global Encounter Cap

Kind Regards

Home system with default settings

Home system - low asteroid setting, highest density encounter setting

PCU is left at the new default of 500000


I’ve tried multiple saves, I’ve also tried deleting and reinstalling the game. I’m also on a PS5

Hello, Engineer!


Could you please tell us if you're playing on a planet, in space or near planets? Do you have Planetary Encounters enabled and spawned at the time?


Kind Regards

In space in home system,

less than 100k from Earthlike or around the moon

Planetary encounters are enabled and those are generating on planet.

Last night I finally had a single ship spawn, a military escort. It spawned as I returned from a factorum encounter on the far side of the moon from earthlike. No others have generated.

Hello, Engineer!


In general random encounters should spawn more often when near planets. This seems like behavior as intended.

Is there anything else we could help you with?

A single spawn in over 10 hours of waiting in space in multiple saves is not normal, nor how it worked before the contact update. Used to be every 15-20 min one would spawn

Hello, Engineer!


We can confirm that in v205 there were fixes related to spawning of cargo ships, primarily that only one would spawn instead of multiple at a time.

We can also confirm that Cargo ships will only spawn outside of atmosphere.

Since Random Encounters now compete for PCU with the new encounter types, we can recommend you try disabling for example Planetary Encounters if you're not using them.


Kind Regards

I have also tried this. Disabled factorum spawning, in a fresh 100% vanilla world and did creative building in space for hours without a single spawn. I would also randomly check the entity list and find nothing.
