how do you fix landing bay bug? It says inaccessible.

[Cryght]

i cant use the landing bay.. i can go straight to cockpit, but cant enter through landing bay or exit through it.

Sadly you can't.
Only way I've gotten around it is to just build a new ship.
Thankfully with even minimal effort on setting up an outpost you can farm money and levels easily.

I built new ship, and EVERYship i have has the bug... even ones i just buy.

some landing bays have different connection needs, you can place and look inside to see where it needs to connect to a hab or cockpit

[Cryght]

i have tried.. I can still enter and exit ship if i go straight to cockpit and straight out, but i need the door accessible so i can recruit ppl. and i dont want to use console commands since i dont want to lose out on achievements

try looking in shipbuilder again. could be that the landing bay isnt connected to the right place and has snapped to an engine or cargo bay instead of the hab module

This also may somehow interfere with "All That Money Can Buy" where you MUST board the ship to speak with Walter Shroud, before taking off. It seems you must do these things in an exact order, as dialogs are broken when you try to use this workaround.

hi there - look on youtube - there is a nice guide, how to build your ship(s).
concerning landing bay - docker - cockpit: you gotta look carefully - there are different symbols for connection! not all allow player or NPC to pass through.
however for these 3 and modules like companion-way etc. you NEED to have a door or a symbol that will make a ladder connection between these.. else, it won´t work..
try the R and F key to alter height, sometimes that is an issue if somethings won´t connect, too

In another thread someone made of the same topic, using the console command

unlock

unlocks the ship door and you can enter.

To use this command you go up to the ship door and open the console. Then you need to click on the door with the console open. This may take several tries. You know you have it selected when at the bottom it says "DOOR". Then you type unlock into the console.

This method disables achievements.

This bug is something more than placement or going between ships. I have had my ship built for several days and had accessibility in the docking bay without issue until recently. It seems the last patch they did, did something broke in the game. With the docking bay issue, some quests will not complete and I have a constant weather warning now in my status screen.

This did the trick for me.

The one thing I'd like to ask everyone is, had you installed the armillary on your ship prior to the bug happening? And did you remember to remove the armillary from your ship prior to doing any modifications/builds?

I'm pretty sure that's what's causing the bug. While cargo transfers between builds no problem, it would appear the armillary does not. And that causes the lockup. Unless you're willing to forego achievements, I'm pretty certain you'll need to restart to have clean access again.

And remember to remove the armillary from your ship before doing any changes. Or install it on an outpost. Or just carry it around, especially if you want the extra power from taking out guardians. Because if you're carrying it, they will show up rather often it seems.

This worked. Thank you.
Of all the simplistic numbskull things to lose hours of playtime over, pulling apart and putting back together. Well at least, thanks to you, I didn't restart my rebuild of my ship.
