Safe zone not working

[PoppaHodge]

I used admin commands to build a safe zone on my game, but it doesn't work. I gave it zone chips, but every time a NPC ship comes by, it destroys it. Do I have to have economy deluxe to make it work? And yes, I have tried the whitelist/blacklist settings, but it acts as if it is not a safe zone.

I don't really understand could you clarify whether you used the Admin menu to create a safezone, or built a safezone generator on your base? The Admin menu one needs to be configured in the same menu you spawn it with, not sure about the base safezones have never used them honestly but I believe they need to be set up in the control panel and have a large power draw.

Also NPC ships are destroying your base? Like SPRT drone attacks?
1: Build some decoys, surround them with light armor, put a welder inside the armor next to the decoy
2: Build turrets near the contraption
3: Feed the contraption steel plates so it can repair itself

Alternatively you could use a ship shielding mod like Cython's Energy shields

If you build a safezone, no matter if you add it from the spacemaster menu or from the built block, you have to set the filter options to define what is allowed inside and what isn´t.
Also you have to filter who can enter the zone and who can´t

Hi, looks like a bugged save cause the Safe Zone will set all blocks to be indestructible on default when enabled.

Share your save with me and I will tell you what is going on, I am better when in-game doing the Engineer testing.

How to publish a world save :

1 - Select your save.

2 - Click the "Publish" button on the left.

3 - Skip the "Exploration" Tag cause that got rules to follow and click the OK button.

4 - Your world will be uploaded to Steam Workshop.

5 - Share the Workshop item link here.


+ Save your charcter in front of the Safa Zone so I will spawn right there to start testing.

I deleted the safezone (which was built with a safezone generator, not spawned) after it was destroyed. So I can't actually publish it with the safezone. But I can explain what happened. It still showed the sphere, and said it was initializing, but every time I selected it it still had the countdown repeating.

Ah! That may be cause by low power so add more power.

Test in a copy of your save in creative mode, add large ReactorS and that will tell you fast if it is a power problem.
