yahbai Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hi all, not sure if this is a bug, or I've screwed something up. Got a new petroleum rocket I build to initially drop some rovers on a planet 4 tiles away. Everything is fine for building/launching, but now the rocket won't land back at it's original planet, original rocket pad. If I fly the rocket to the planet it just says 'in orbit'. If I select the pad and choose the option to land the rocket at it, it won't land. If I fly the rocket a couple of tiles out, then reselect the destination as the planet and either any available pad, or choose a specific pad, the rocket will fly to the planet, but not land - just sit 'in orbit'. Is this something I've missed or a bug? ...kinda bummed out as I've spent a week getting the tech to go straight to LOX/petroleum rockets, build a bunch of materials, and then I can't land the rocket back at my planet.

Yobbo Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Assuming you're talking about the DLC, there was a recent bug that if the rocket uses precisely all of the available vertical space, it can take off but not land. Try rebuilding the rocket platform one tile lower if that's the case? edit: There was also an older bug preventing rockets with 0 fuel from landing, but that one was fixed quite a while ago. If that's the case you probably just need to update the game. But back up the save first, as you can't go back a version after loading a save in a newer one.

yahbai Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 sorry should have said - yes it is the DLC with latest updates. It's a petroleum rocket - so it builds it's own platform, and as far as I could see doesn't let you delete or add sections. Definately not the 0 fuel bug either - the rocket still has plenty of fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It builds its own platform? I'm a bit confused here. I mean the base "Rocket Platform" building. The background scaffolding area is just visual and will update when you add/remove sections. Even if you deconstruct the platform and build a new one, you should be able to select the new one to land on just fine from the rocket's piloting system. Oh maybe i should have specified that the bug was when the rocket uses all the vertical map space. Like if it touches the top of the map where you can't build it won't be able to land. It's fixed on the testing branch... not sure if the fix is also on the live branch but i can't think of anything else that would cause this problem.

toaster4k Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 is the testing branch the one you get when you go to public_testing under beta in steam? Cuz i did that and i still cannot land my rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer klei.ruby Posted May 28, 2021 Developer Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hi @toaster4k if you have a save showing the issue would you mind posting it here so we can take a closer look. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nematrec Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I had this issue (or something similar). It was when I told it to stop before it stopped in orbit on it's own. Flying into another tile fixed it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
