Thruster override on a grid cut from another grid causing drift to side, maybe new grids as well
Found this by accident, did more testing a bunch of different ways, couldn't solve it.
After making a pillar away from a grid and making a simple "Missile" with one ion thruster, a button, and sometimes a gyroscope sometimes not, I would delete the pillar, making the missile a new grid. After using the button to have the thruster have 1% override, the missile would move in the direction of the missile but also drift to a side. Tried multiple different things including: Making sure the number of buttons was even on all sides. Starting over with a new grid. Exiting and reloading the world. Using a cockpit to create the override, new grid and cut grid. Having a missile with thrusters on all sides except the opposite side from the "Main" drive that got overridden
Some things I did that did not result in drift: Having two "Missiles" with cockpits connected by a block, put override on both missile's thrusters at the same time using the cockpit, then getting out of the cockpit and deleting the connecting block. Using the thrusters normally on a ship with thrusters on all sides with no dampeners, then getting out and checking.
Unsure why exactly this is happening and/or if it's just my pc.
Pictures will be in the comments as I'm hitting a limit of how many pictures I can put in the description before it goes over the size limit. I have more, but as it takes forever for the comments to post, I'll add more photos if asked
Hello Jonathan Tucker,
I could not reproduce this issue. Does this occurs when the Grid you're cutting from is heavier blocks? Have you made sure that the Grid is stationary before cutting out the missile?
Please try using a Grid made of Heavy Armor blocks to see if the sideways movement persists.
Additionally, could you please provide a video recording of your issue?
Kind Regards,
