WX-78: The skill Inhabited Machine II fails to spawn backup body when using Shadow Affinity temporary charge

@exuni Are you sure you have a free backup chassis slot? Inhabited Machine II requires that you have a free backup chassis, otherwise you will die normally even with full regular charge.

@omar_klei I have tested more. The bug is always present with "Don't Starve Alone" mod. Without the mod everything works in one world, but not in another with the same settings. But the tests are inconsistent. Even without the server mod the issue persists after the world is regenerated. After the world without caves is regenerated as a timeout because everyone died on the server, in the new server with caves the skill does not spawn a chassis correctly with the conditions met at all.

 

So without caves it works for 2 different words every time correctly. With caves it does not work cosistently.

@omar_klei And yes, I do have a back up chassis available, as I use the minimal skill tree for the testing: Inhabited Machine II and Shadow Survivor. So I only have 1 backup buddy available at most, so it is easier to test.

So it seems the presence of caves on the server might be the culprit. In my tests I have not entered the caves, if that might affect anything.

To make it clear, whether caves are enabled on the server seems to make a difference, and not whether the death occurs in the caves directly.

Sidemote: I also reproduced the bug on a public Klei official server.

And on the official server the bug happened only once, but all consecutive times it worked correctly.

And then it could be also reproduced on a Klei server by going to caves and instantly causing a death while the charge is temporarily maxed out.

Here is the server log data, I hope that helps. Here I spawn in a world with caves enabled, spawn myself nightmare fuel, monster meat and life giving amulets via TooManyItems client mod, and proceed to test the bug.

An addition note: the bug does not exist at all on Meow Together 6 surface server besides the local worlds without caves, meaning the skill works every time from day 1 for old worlds and new worlds, even after regen/rollbacks. Caves of the server still fail.
