Fell Through the Ground

Michael Wilkens shared this bug ago

Need More Information

Hello Keen Team,

I noticed something on the new Survival map.

If I'm holding the drill and crouch with my character, it can happen that I suddenly clip through the ground and fall underneath the map.

This happened near the yellow hangar, on a slight slope.

I'm not sure how your character is set up in your engine, but I have some experience with Unreal Engine using the Voxel Plugin. Whenever changes were made to the game world, we often had to move the player's spawn position slightly upward on the Z-axis and then back down again. Otherwise, the character could sometimes fall through the terrain.

Another issue we occasionally encountered was the character capsule intersecting the ground slightly, which could also cause the character to be pulled through the terrain.

Of course, I don't know how your engine works, so I'm only sharing my experience from Unreal Engine in case it helps.

Best regards,

Micha

This also happened to me on 2.3.0.2793 while hand mining in a very rough wormhole excavation (potentially drilling straight down).

The Issue: I clipped through the voxel layer and fell straight toward the center of the planet.
The Fix/Workaround: I managed to get back above ground by jet-packing up toward the bottom of the voxel layer and drilling the underside for about 30 seconds while shifting the drill angle.
Frequency: On the latest version, I've only had this happen once in about 90 minutes of play. However, in a playthrough 5 months ago, it was happening consistently at a specific ice mine.

I think this was a related issue 7 months ago: https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers2/pc/topic/50325-falling-though-the-map

This happened to me a few times during drilling deep into the ground. There seem to be certain texture or voxel type transitions that lead to this in my save.

This was happening a LOT near Vallis Reach. I also went back and made a mining ship and "exiting the cockpit" would also push the player through the landscape, like with the asteroids.

That happened to me just yesterday. Luckily, going back won't be a problem if you have a drill.

Hello Engineers,

We have issues a Hotfix last week (version 2.3.0.2798) that contains a fix for this issue. Could you please confirm that is the case for you?

Kind Regards,
