Release 167 - Report issues here

[jasoncfinley]

It seems that having multiple beacons in one settlement breaks them.

[Lynxdragon]

I would try updating graphics drivers, Else verify the game on steam and see what happens.

[Lynxdragon]

I placed the 2 blocks, set the location and it timed down. I broke it out and the portal appeared, i stepped into the portal and the portal closed on top of me. trapped me inside the blocks.

[PendragonTheNinja]

I was not. I was in my base far away from any other plots.

[PendragonTheNinja]

How does this work with Beacon Fuel, then? If I create a beacon, fuel it, and then remove it… does the plot stay permanently? Past six months? Seems “exploity” if that were somehow the case.

[Arkefyre]

the issue that @Skylance was experiencing has been resolved regarding the furnace

[Xanotos]

Pendragon, the beacon control is now jsut an INTERFACE, it serves as the starting point, so when you fuel it, it forms a plot. however, when you remove the beacon, the plots will all stay until the fuel is gone.

the beacon is no longer the lfieblood of teh plots, it is the fuel that is important.

so if you don’t want a beacon, you dont have to have a beacon. so long as you place one down and refuel occasionally

[Kawwak]

I have the same problem, cant see settlement info where I have more than one beacon.

@Xanotos

Just, sometimes, as I’m out and about in the water doing things, collecting the stuff I’ve been mining, when I re-enter my beacon, I get a crash.

@PanzerXII

Well i can’t be in the game for more then 2 min before it crashes and the fastest crash yet was 10 sec after running around. I have been having this problem sense the 1st fix of this 167 and sense not been able to play at all.

@Xanotos

Try lowering your settings first, cuz if your network card is taxed too much it just plain old won’t work.

My laptop likes overheating after awhile but I turned down the settings and I could go like 2 hours before a crash. Fastest crash I’ve had on low settings, 2Gb cash, and 4 chunk download rate was 20 minutes

@LethalExistance

My client is crashing as often as 5 times an hour. Sometimes within minutes of starting. Tried turning down graphics. Seems to help abit.

If you get any crashes again, could you share a game log and any crash dumps generated at the time if possible?

[vdragon]

@boundmore

in my case it was mine beacon

@Arkefyre

no, everything was done within my own beacon: crafting and collecting. The experience loss happened before I even collected the items, since the machines give exp when you approach them rather than collect the items.

@Lynxdragon

This bug is going to make me cry soon… I log out with heaps of stuff crafting. I log back in and it says ive leveled up, but when i go into character screen i’m still the level I was. This happened 3 times now, Its really getting to me…

Relogged and still the same level. Happened 2 times when I was crafting a diamond hammer and logged out.

@Kawwak

in portals you lose your xp only if you use an interplanetary portal, if you use a portal inside a planet (so like from therka to therka), thats fine. I think its related to servers if you come from an other server it happens, but I dont know that the personal sanctum is in the same server where you logged out or different. If sanctum is in a different server then its server change related if not… then I dont have a clue.

@PendragonTheNinja

I was in my base far away from any other plots.

Thanks for all the information. We haven been unable to reproduce the issue so far. If possible, could you all submit videos showing the bug in action? Hopefully, the videos may reveal some odd things going on. Also, @Kawwak mentioned the possibility of portal interference, so could you also state if there were any portals nearby too?

Edit: Additionally, can you also provide coordinates of the locations so that we can have a look as well?

[vdragon]

@Tillweed

EDIT 6/26/17 @2:52PM Pacific: This was the case for this instance of the issue. Making room in the output queue resolved the issue.

Just as a note when this first happened to me the output area was not full, it was the first item to complete that had this issue. (Oort Stone shards).
Thanks!

Thanks to you and @SWProzee1 for investigating this, we’ll log a bug.

[Lynxdragon]

I have noticed that when I port it from Sanctum, Like I do when I logon. I will see the EXP show up top right, Less than a second later it changes to +0 exp. This only happens when I portal in nearby the machine giving me exp. Rather annoying as I’ve probably lost 30k exp to this bug already. I will try record it for you tomorrow on one of the less rewarding crafts.

@Stretchious

Just used the 2nd Warp Conduit in the Sanctum to go to my Beacon at Miners Bluff (via the Beacons tab, not the Locations one) and the creatures decided they wanted to be invincible

Edit: Returning to sanctum and coming back again resolved the issue;

@Xanotos

I’ve found that if your slingbow’s shot poofs right as it hits a mob, it shows damage done, but they take no damage

@boundmore

I had that a few weeks back in testing - I went to Epsilo from Solum and all mobs were immortal. It only lasted quarter of an hour, - ish.

This may be related to the other issue where players are reporting that creatures are regaining health. This is likely due to the server being out of sync, which we’re currently looking at.

[vdragon]

@Stretchious

Only other issues I’ve had were related to not gaining XP when away from your beacon, but level up messages still appearing.

This may be related to the issues currently being experienced by other players.

@Stretchious

They were indeed - they do show the claw when they’re not in a smart stack (so I guess that would be the same for all grapples)

Yes, it turns out that it would affect all grapple tools, so we’ll log a bug.

[boundmore]

@vdragon

so could you also state if there were any portals nearby too?

Edit: Additionally, can you also provide coordinates of the locations so that we can have a look as well?

-616N, 179E Therka (when I’m standing in the middle of my machine room)

I have 3 portals outside (-667N, so 50 blocks away).

@jasoncfinley

It seems that having multiple beacons in one settlement breaks them.

Thanks for the report and screenshot. We haven’t reproduced this so far. How are the beacons arranged? Is there one beacon per plot, or are they multiple beacons within one plot for example?

[jasoncfinley]

The beacons are maybe five plots away from each other. The plots of one beacon do touch the plots of the other.

[Kawwak]

My crafting base at 2252,1799(90alt) in therka. It has a basement with all the machines. I have a nearby portal leading to munteen and my friend have a portal to therka market.

So first time I logged out in my basement and when I came back in sanctum it said I leveled up, but really didnt and got no xp from the crafts which ones ended when I was offline.

The second time I went to my munteen base through my portal and logged out. When logged in there was no problem but when I went through my portal to my therka base it showed +0xp, so got no xp from my crafts which ones ended when I was offline.

Third time I went to log out in therka market through my friends portal and when I came back through the portal I got xp from crafts which ones ended when I was offline.

It happened only with crafts which ones ended when I was offline. If a craft ended when I was online but still in an other planet (server) it gave me xp when I came back. The best way to get offline crafting xp is to go away from your crafting place but stay on the same planet (server) when you log out.

Maybe a good fix would be if we get the crafting xp only when we interact with the machine.

Edit: will try to make a video about it if you still need.

[Kawwak]

Oh and one more bug: I have 2 crafting tables, I made and placed them maybe in 2016 november, tried to replace them one day ago but one of it have 8, the other one have 4 crafting slots.

[vdragon]

A video will be helpful if possible, thanks!
