Release 154 - Report issues here

My own beacons don’t show up on the compass unless I am standing right on it, traveled to a number of worlds and they never show up. This pic is looking in the direction of one of my beacons, it doesn’t show up unless I get like a few units closer.


The same happens with another beacon that I have just to the left of that, unless I am in a specific distance. Even then I need to spin for it to show up. It’s like the compass doesn’t update itself while I am looking in the direction if that makes any sense. that beacon is in Berlyn at -1706, 63, -310. My other beacon is also in Berlyn at -1731, 65, -259.

As it stands besides being right on top of them, I can only see them on my compass when I get a certain distance to them (it varies) and do a spin to “refresh” the beacon in that direction. However this doesn’t happen with other peoples beacons or characters. They all show up perfectly.

I misunderstood how the system initially worked, but then figured it out. Had a little trouble with it not activating the right landmark, but then figured out what was wrong there.

Thanks for the screenshot and detailed explanation. We’ll take a look at it as we need to try and find out what’s causing the issue.

So when the grapple hook hits a surface, most times once it’s attached i’ll immediately feel resistance whilst walking and depending on my position i might start lifting off the ground. R/F keys will then work to operate the grapple.

Sometimes, none of that will happen after the hook has attached. Except graphically the grapple line will still follow me around and i can see the hook it’s attached to, in the surface.

Furnace problem:

  1. Stick some ore in Iron Furnace #1
  2. Stick some ore in Iron Furnace #2
  3. Take finished metal out of both furnaces.
  4. They will now smart stack, but they won’t non-smart-stack with each other.
  5. Leave them in a smart stack in a storage unit for a few days to get all cozy.
  6. They will now non-smart-stack like the best of friends.
  7. Rinse and repeat.

From reading the description above, are you saying that you feel no resistance and that you can’t go up or down with the grappling hook?

Thanks for the information. If it does take a few days, then we probably won’t see the results immediately.

Yep, it’s like I never fired the grapple hook but all the graphics/animations act as if it’s connected.

It takes a few days usually but I guess you could find that a server restart is maybe what allows the stacks to combine? One thing I can think of that would coincide time wise.

I’ts not really a new bug. I posted this some time ago.

There has been several times that I have been out mining and got shot from a spitter that the compass didn’t pick up. It seems with the spitter they need to be closer to you than the wildlife before they show up on the compass.

Yes, you did post it previously, although at the time we couldn’t really reproduce it. Did you have any other users’ beacons near your own by any chance?

Was it a particular type of spitter?

I didn’t even pay that much attention. If it happens again I will pay closer attention.

Not really sure about how near but it’s at the Therka market.
So yeah there’s loads of other users beacons :slight_smile:

It only happens there though, my beacon on Vulpto does show all the time.
There’s almost no other beacons on that planet so It could be about the density of beacons?

Player not showing up on compass.
Therka market.

Just wanted to bump the old report that sometimes plots do not remove when the beacon is destroyed. It seems if you place a beacon several times inside the same plot, the plot becomes locked even after all beacons are removed.
Relevant image attached. COMPLETELY EMPTY plot, no hidden beacons here! Plot location Elopor [-2009, 129, -337]

I think I saw this last night and not completely sure I got my plots back either, pretty sure I’ve now “used” more plots than I actually am…

Out of interest, how many players were there? was it just 4, or were there more players out of shot?

Thanks for the screenshot, it clearly shows that no control beacon block is present. We’ve added this information to our database to have a look at.

It was we 4, as far i could see.

I can’t confirm this but the latest update seems to have limited how far i can look up and down a bit?

I have one plot on berlyn I cant get rid of and one on elopor I cant claim. Both locations have had several beacon changes.
