Stuck Rover

[hekele]

My Rover apparently got stuck. It seemed fine wen I exited it. I went off and did some things, but when I returned to it, it would not let me enter it and it is 'wiggling' a bit against a rock. No worries, I flew back and used the button to retrieve it, but it didn't come back. Last time this happened, I foolishly drove it into the water and then got out underwater. Then the only resolution was to take everything out of its inventory, including the chips, deconstruct it and then rebuild it. Are there any other solutions? It's pretty far away this time and the inventory is full so would take a couple trips to retrieve everything.

It won't let me enter the vehicle at all. Nothing happens when 'Drive' pops up and I click on it. :/

sadly at this point that's the only known fix. only seen it once, but others have noticed it too. empty/destroy/rebuild tried and true method till a patch comes out I guess.

I was able to get back in after saving and quitting and re-opening it. Posting resolution in case anyone else as the same issue.

Happened to me just now as well, however I was on dry land. I had driven my rover through some water previously, but I was not underwater at that time. However I did run out of air, which automatically booted me out of my rover. When I came back (forgot that I had an emergency O2 canister in my rover's storage), I couldn't enter the rover anymore so I ran back to base and tried to recall the rover and nothing happened. Guess I'll have to deconstruct it.

Do you have access too the back? there is a button to pick it up into your inventory

Yeah I noticed that a couple hours after I posted as I was using my rover to move my base. I feel it worth noting though (because some may not know) that the rover's inventory has to be empty. You should be able to just drop everything on the ground though and put it back in later provided the inventory workaround fixes it.

Go back to the garage.
Click on the screen to the right.
Select recall rover.
Problem solved.

Tried that, didn't work.

UPDATE: Just happened again, this time however I was out and about mining sulfur by hand in the sulfur biome on Humble, was running out of O2 and tried to climb aboard to replenish it as I've installed the O2 module in it since my last report. I couldn't get in, died, ran back, and even with a half-full O2 tank I still couldn't drive my rover. I tried running all the way back to my base to recall it, nothing happened. I then emptied out the storage, upgrades, everything, and tried to pick it up using the big red "Grab" button in the back. Nothing. The only workaround short of save scumming seems to be deconstructing and reconstructing.
