My jetpack doesn't work properly?

[Martin Cloon]

Hey peeps. I have a problem with my jetpack. Pressing spacebar does not make me fly upwards, and I cant fly upwards using 'w' when facing upwards now either. I have tried changing key bindings, and the problem persists. yes, I have tried it with dampners ON and OFF. Anyone else finding this problem and also fixed it? Thanks.

I assume you have fuel?

having same issue unfortunetaly...cannot go "up" with jetpack but if going up a ramp forward will continue to gain altitude after ramp ends...just no upwards thrust

[Martin Cloon]

^ Exactly that. I just dont understand why? And yes I have fuel >.>

[Nukk]

hope they get cracking...this isnt the only major issue atm besides the godawful "shiny" everything and inability to jetpack we also have no handmining ability,no ore patches visible(tho this doesnt personaly bother me..always thought it was strange),the welder continuing to weld after a block is constructed,not registering components in backpack as actualy being there and at least for me the inabilty to even build two adjoining blocks(can place as many as i want....as long as they are not connected lol.Gotta say i love space engineers but I was playing pre steam and even pre weapons and this has to be the absolute worst "update" that they have ever done. The "improvements" to space fights look great but they messed up everything else to make em happen

I have this issue as well, any progress?

Ive been having the same problem, which im positive was cuased by one of the games "overhuals" where they just undo updates. It makes designing atmospheric ships near impossible without copying and pasting it a whole bunch. One thing that does work though is flying forward and gaining momentum (about 50 m/s) and then flying upwards will allow you to fly up, or just look at a 45 degree angle up and spiral upwards by holdong W. If anyone knows of some mods or characters to fix this, id love it if you linked me to it.

Disable any mod you have which affects the character. Doesn't matter if it changes their appearance, changes the thrust values, changes inventory values - they all change the same file, and if they haven't been updated than they'll contain the same invalid information. Do keep in mind that some mods may overwrite the character without actually doing anything to it, either because they were thinking of doing it or because they don't know they don't have to.

Currently mods cannot inheret properties, or adjust single properties. As such you can't say, for example, "make the suit thruster twice as powerful" - you have to declare the entire suit, which happens to be a copy of the default one with the exception that the thruster is twice as powerful. As such, if your copy contains outdated information (as many suit mods currently will) it may produce errors like what you're experiencing.

^^Unfortunately this hasn't changed anything. Likewise it hasn't impacted any of my friends on the server either. I found that this problem only seems to occur on Mars for me now? Really odd. Hasn't been fixed yet

I have the same bug and it seems to happen to me when im in more than 0.50 gravity and I tried out to play without any mods and it didn`t work if one of you guys finds a solution tell me

[Blade001]

I know im a little late but this happens to me aswell unless im in 0g

Guys!

Why not follow the Devs Guide and share a proper bug report for this?


I can tell you that my Jetpack is OK on planet so it must be world specific and sharing this world + the log file may get you a fast fix.

Since i posted on here i deleted all mods that modified the jatpack in any way and deleted all suit. Since then i haven't had this problem.

TIP

Better ask the Mod author for a fix cause since the Suit update = lots of modded suits are broken that need to be fixed and updated.


Always try No Mods first to see if it's Mod bug =

[ExpendableGrunt]

I think the core issue here has something to do with the way gravity affects the Engineer, and the recent suit jetpack boost was a workaround to deal with that.

Vanilla works, but most jetpack mods now have issues. Since the core issue hasn't been addressed yet, any mod updates that fix the issue will likely only be temporary fixes, and will need to be revisited if/when the gravity situation is remedied.

its not a mod bug, im playing a vanilla build of the game and i still have the bug
