Cant move in spectator mode.
Hi. New to the game, so probably a simple explanation.

Went into spectator mode and flew about 30k away. Teleported to current position with CTRL-SPACE. Ran out of energy, so went back into spectator mode to go back to base. I cant move. It seems to go into spectator mode ok, but WSAD don't work. normal movement is ok. I'm stuck here. Any ideas?

Cheers.

Hi, just open the SM Alt+F10, select a grid or your charcter, hit Esc to close the SM and doing so should fix the problem.

Oh! I forgot to specify > Select a grid or character from "entity list".

You used Ctrl-Space to teleport, but then did you use F6 to control your character?

Sort of works. It gets me to the grid, but Im still in spectator mode slightly underground in a different place, but slightly underground. Still can't move.

Ah. s'ok. I just waited till I died and I respawned.

Cheers.

Ah! you spawned your character into the Voxel and it is your charcter that was not able to move?

If yes = that is very normal ;)

Yes. That's what it was. Now, though, although I'm back, Spectator mode still leaves me unable to move. I can enter/exit it no problem, but again, WASD don't work. Bug or just me being stupid? I know where the smart money is, and it aint "bug" ;)

Spectator mode should be able to move everywhere even into Voxel.

Maybe double check the spectator movement keys :
> Ctrl + MMWheel
> Shift + MMWheel

Tho it may be "bugged" for X reasons like a Mod (testing needed to know more) may cause this in that specific save only and all good in new created worlds

God knows. It's ok, now. No idea why. Oh well.

Cheers for the help. Now, if you can lend me some cobalt ;)

Cobalt is easy found in the Desert Biomes and on Moon.
