Small grid currently "rubberbanded" stuck in Keen server

Lane shared this bug 5 years ago
Outdated

Keen US server #2 has a small ship grid in it, named appropriately "OMGWTFBBQ"

It is stuck. An old "rubberbanding" glitch involving landing gear and voxels, it looks like.

I have removed all landing gear, all connectors, and all grid blocks from its area, and a large chunk of voxel underneath it, hoping to free it. I am stuck. And removing the voxels beneath me makes the grid sink to a lower "Stuck" position that it is rubberbanded back to.

Tried Power on/off, renaming the grid, relogging. persistently stuck.

While it is frustrating that this sort of thing still happens, but it is fortunate that there is a representation to look at right here and now.

In a server with active admins, the solution to this long plaguing bug is to simply cut/paste it.

Maybe a possible solution is an "unstick" button in the grids UI- that deletes it and allows a 1 time paste by the owner?

Exact same problem also on US NA Server #2. On earth. Small ship would get stuck. Mine had no landing gear on it, just a connector. I got stuck 18km from my base and I had to just keep grinding blocks off the ship until it was unstuck. Which ended up being everything except for 1 battery and a large cargo container.

An update: when investigating it again the next day, I turned it on " show center of gravity", and "show pivot point". While the center of gravity looked ok a it's grid pivot point was very far behind the grid, deep into the very voxel to right where I appeared to be rubberbanded to.

So it appears to be a pivit point bug. Something about disconnecting it from the base grid, along with other contributing factors, cause the grids pivot to be glitched. This is the reason for the grid itself being stuck, but as for how the pivot point got so screwed up.. is unknown
