Engines don't automatically decellerate

Hi Devs

Playing basic Survival has several issues i know however this one basicall ends a game as you have to start over.


in short, built a ship with a loading bay, docking port etc. loaded the miner onboard and set off. All was going well until i entered the miner. Once i released the docking port und backed out of the bay, my engines (Ion drives) were unresponsive. Acelleration worked, but no braking effect once i stopped giving power.

Only way out was to scrap the miner.

Started a new game, built a rocket powered ship, went and hit the renegade ship. instead of completing the job at location, i parked my attack ship on the renegade ships back. Flew the renegade ship to my base where i wanted to dismantle it.

First off i jumped into my attack ship to undock, engines were working but no brake effect once i stopped acellerating. Sigh.

Giving gas in any direction worked in both cases, Forward, Sideways etc, but the opposing decelleration wouldn't take effect. Ship useless.

Did you use Thrust Override? There are reports that using it can break the dampener system, and it has happened to me too. Usually, removing the affected thrusters completely and replacing them fixed it for me.


If not, are you sure dampeners where on?


As for the renegade ship, the backward thruster did not work at all the one time I tried to fly it. Most of the time, I just scrap the valuable parts on the spot and leave the common components.

I don't touch anything on the settings much, i checked to see if i had perhaps activated a key combo but that was a negative too.

In my case replacing all rockets or ions didn't work.

Hi, I have a simillar problem, Dampeners work ok, but the left and right does not do anything, it only holds speed, here is a video I have recorded. I can provide a save file if needed. https://youtu.be/cT4ttixNGxI

Ok, sorry.. reload of a game fixed it, but it happens quite often

Looks like a drifting issue similar to mine on your side burners. You can see on the speed scale there's no dampening effect when you move left or right.

That's a lot of rockets :)

So it's been a week or so since my posting,

I went back to the two games with their individual bugs.

The rocket ship definately has its dampeners on, no thrust override either. just a normal everyday build. It's build weight is only around 300,000k without load. No AI installed, no auto network.

Once i removed the forward and rear rockets, replaced them, it worked again, even under full load of 200 tons it was doing what it should. Strange...


Unfortunately the Ion Miner in my other game didn't show such success. I wouldn't know how to film, copy and upload a file to demonstrate the issue. Guess for all my logic i'll have to get around to learning how to do that one :)

I just use the Steam Built in recording function and then upload it to YouTube. :-)
