Blocks can't work

Ron Whitehead shared this bug 25 days ago
Need More Information

For some strange reason, my grid becomes disabled (namely a Verdure planetary base). All of the powered blocks are showing that they "can't work". I've tried disassembling batteries and reconstructing them, but no change.

This is the second time this has happened for no apparent reason. After the first time, I completely dismantled the base and started a new base from scratch. The new grid had been working fine, then not.

I can add a new grid which works fine. Just don't attach it to the problematic grid or it too will fail to work.

Hello Ron Whitehead,


Could you please provide a video recording of your issue and the Save file with the affected base?

Where do I find the saved game files?

Hello Ron Whitehead,


You can find your Save Files here:

  • C:\Users\(your_username)\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers2\AppData\SaveGames

You can attach your Saved Game as a ZIP file

I looked for the save game path, but there is no ‘app data’ path within my ‘user_name’ subdirectory.

Maybe I can search my drive if I know the  save file naming convention. The name I gave to save my game was “Ron’s Adventure”.

Hello Ron Whitehead,


This means that your AppData folder is hidden, make sure that you have selected "Show Hidden Items" in View option:9c61342de5bcc2c2b9fda358b919cf09

Alternatively, you can type %appdata% in your Windows command bar:

I believe this save file contains two separate grids, one working and one that does not. Hopefully, this will give you adequate data to work with.

Check if the gird is not disabled by accidental pressing Y. The only visual clue is power icon in bottom right corner when in cockpit or control seat of the grid. Otherwise blocks show as enabled but can't work.

After constructing a control seat, I now have power restored at my base. Thank you for your advice (and patience}.
