CTD when saving ship modifcations?

[lemming3k]

I'm trying to add an extra cargo pod to the Frontier but every time I save any changes the game crashes.
Is this normal? Is there a particular component that is bugged?

It takes long enough to use the shipbuilder as it is. I don't want to waste all evening and have nothing to show for it.

Do you have anything stored on the ship? Such as in an Armoury, dropped on the floor, in any boxes or in the captains locker?
And, is your cargo hold full?

I had the same problem with the Frontier. I upgraded it with an Armoury hab, stored 2 suits, and a number of weapons in it to save on cargo space (Since that doesn't count to cargo hold total) but every time i tried to upgrade my reactor the game crashed out.

Removed everything from the hab, and took a few things out of the cargo hold so it wasn't full (A few ship parts was all i took out) and that stopped the crashes.

Yes the hold and locker are pretty much full, that's why I want to add a module.
I suppose it's possible the quest item in the hold is an issue as well but I would have thought since I'm only adding space it would be fine. Maybe I'll look to use resources and offload some items. Or how long it is before I get a new ship.

I bought a longsword fairly early and then started the mantis quest soon after that for the razorleaf you can start the mantis quest from any spacer or pirate(lower chance) you kill if they drop the "secret outpost" slate then run there and free spaceship after you kill the spacers and solve the puzzles

I am having the exact same issue but it is only when upgrading the Razorleaf. I can upgrade or modify any other ship I own but that one. I will try to empty the hold and see if that works.

Hi buddy. Good to see you posting again. :)

Good solution offered also. Guess that is why I never had that issue. Anything my ship cannot hold it is meant to and the cargo is full, I place those in the Lodge's containers.

I managed to complete an edit today after emptying the cargo hold and locker.

It was still crashing after the quest item was gone so that wasn't the issue. No idea why you shouldn't be able to edit a ship with items in since it's nearly 100% certain you would have them.

Same issue. I can't use the ship builder at all since the latest update. Get busy and fix this Bethesda.

I also got CTD while saving a ship build, but emptying the cargo hold and captain's locker before using the ship builder fixed it.

Thank you, may be my problem too ;-)

I am having the same problem. I restarted my game in ng, landed at Jemison, reclaimed the frontier, made it my home ship, removed all content from the captain's locker and cargo hold, removed any items I could find in the ship, including Barrett's tablets.

I then went to the technician, modified the Frontier with a hab module, and tried to save. CTD.

I then removed everything pertaining to ships from my plugins.txt, went back to the ship technician and added a hab module.
CTD.

Ok, I then tried to modify the ship again. No changes to structure, only repainted the main hab.
CTD.

Well, maybe the fault lies with the new games settings. I had modified them to allow access to the ship's locker from anywhere. I checked the settings and everything was reset to normal. I had been playing on hard, so the settings were wiped.

I am pretty sure at this point that the error lies with Bethesda.

Well, OK. Something is busted, but it seems only at the first load after the update. After a lot of running around, I just bought a new ship, and I could update that. Note that the modified ship builder screen does not work with the new version, but the one supplied does (missing a few features). At least it is playable. Note that my settings were set back to hard from normal at some point.

My game crashes after im done building a ship at one of my outposts. Like as soon as i press tab to exit the ship builder screen. The only time it doesn't crash is when I am at a city like New Atlantis.

For me I discovered it was some decorations I had placed inside a hab. Specifically the ones you attach to walls especially modded stuff. Removing that, deleting the hab and replace it finally fixed this for me.
