Drill getting hit by an invisible obstacle
Need More Information
At some point, the game crashed, and I couldn't create a working drilling rig. I have two early models, and they still work fine. However, everything I create doesn't work. The problem is that the drills hit an invisible obstacle right at the start of drilling. Here are screenshots, as well as a non-working drilling rig posted on Steam.

I have the same bug
Hello Ksaltek,
I have checked your Drilling Rig. What I can tell you is that the distance between the drills is too big and some voxels may not be getting mined. Please try to decrease the distance between the Drills to about 1 m - 0.5 m and let me know if this helps.
Kind Regards,

I reduced the distance between the drills, and it works. However, I can't find the cause of the bug. I updated the blueprint I posted here earlier. Even if the distance between the drills is large, they should still dig. Check out the two new screenshots to see the problem. The drills dig to a depth of about 1 meter. Then they encounter an invisible obstacle.

Here are two more screenshots.
1 shows the distance to the surface where the drilling rig is blocked by an invisible obstacle.

2 shows lateral drilling possible.

I found the cause of the bug. Symmetry mode creates phantom blocks. I created a similar arrangement of drills and conveyors without symmetry mode, and everything worked. Here's a screenshot of how it works.

If I create everything that I created without symmetry mode, then everything works.

It seems I jumped to conclusions. The new design, without symmetry mode, is malfunctioning again. I'll finish it tomorrow, and if it doesn't work, I'll post it for you to check.

I built a ship without symmetry mode, but it's still stuck on an invisible obstacle. Here's a link to the ship

Also, screenshots show that the ship isn't impeded from moving forward. However, at this point, it can't move any further. This is all in digging mode.

Sorry, I've already tried changing a lot of things, but I still haven't found the cause. I must say that the previously created designs work. Some of the newer designs work, sometimes not. Can you test this drilling rig? If it works for you, maybe I should reinstall the game. I already had a crash, and reinstalling the game fixed it. Also, I don't know if you know, but the A2 side of a 7.5m shipping container doesn't work.

Hello Ksaltek,
The distance between Drills on your ships is too big. To reliably mine, the Drill 3.5 m should be around 0.5 m apart from one another.
Try to adjust the distance between the Drills to 0.5 meters and let me know if this helps.
Kind Regards,

It seems Google Translate can't convey my meaning correctly, and you don't understand me. The distance between the drills can be any, it doesn't matter. What if there's only one drill? Look closely at the following screenshot, and name the reason why the drills are not moving forward.
