Friend did not respawn in cryo chamber. Help?

[Mike_Huntstynx]

My friend was in the cryo when he logged off. I did some mining nearby, flew to a couple asteroids. I'd always see his name in there as I passed. But some where down the line his name disappeared. The ship had ample power, lots of oxygen on 4 H2/O2 generators with couple hundred tons of ice. Cryos hooked up to ship through large ports.
The ship was fully depresurized for a couple minutes on accident but that shouldn't have been his undoing.. Also we always spawn on the ship when we die but he spawned way back at base. Is there anything we missed? He had to spawn 150km or so away and I had to fetch him.... really worrys me when we go to much farther celestial bodies.
Should we break the base's survival kit to make sure he spawns in the ship?

Maybe a MP glitch? You should always have a designated respawn point such as the ship. Turn off other respawn points such as survival kits and medical rooms. As your game evolves, you can add new respawn points; just make sure you only have one active at a time.

Hi, is it public server?

if it's a friends mode world I recommend to disable the auto-respawn so all Medic rooms and Survival Kits will show in the respawn screen for your friends and you to spawn where you want to.

We can't respawn where we want to when the auto-respawn is enabled.

Cryos are more used on public servers and will work better than private local save.

It's a friends mode hosted server.

Yeah I just turned off trash removal for disconnected players. Hopefully this helps. I'll turn off the base's medical room when I get back there shortly.
Sorry not sure how to set it so you can choose where you respawn.

Strange the cryos at home base have worked indefinitely when we've been away for a couple days at a time.

Should we be good to go with player trash removal and auto-respawn disabled? I can carry my buddy with me as I travel the void?

I see, freinds mode is more private and the auto-resapwn is not needed so I recommned to disable from the world advanced settings.

= You will be able to use the Medic rooms as "transport system", just empty your inventory to a container and hit the Backspace key to respawn.

Your friend can do the same and respawn from the respawn screen to any Medic rooms when he join in.

I will specify the needed advanced setting for Friends mode :

1 - Auto-respawn OFF
2 - Respawnscreen ON

[Mike_Huntstynx]

I don't see Respawnscreen but I disabled Auto-respawn as you suggested.

With auto off and disconnected player trash off I should be good.
Thanks for your help and thanks for this awesome game. It's been scratching all those itches I had been looking for in a game.

Last question, where I can best be updated or follow along with your roadmap/progress on things your working on for thus game?

[Dan2D3D]

The best is to follow the "News" on top of the forum, the community manager always post the live streams dates and that is the right place to know more on what is going on at the moment.

I recommend to watch the last one, starting slow keep watching to see the programmers and what they are working on = Best roadmap.

They also go live every weeks on Keen Twitch, watch the "Devs lost in space" live streams.

Note

I've noticed you seem very new on the SE forums and don't know me so I must specify this :

I am not a SE Dev but Moderator community helper, game tester and they gave me the [dev] Tag after helping the community and the Devs for years so I can have admin rights to help on the Workshop.
(Steam Moderator role can't be admin)

I also collect all the most talked about every months on the new created forum discussions to add to my monthly report to the SE Team.

I do this since 2015 + test the game since 2013 and I help the SE community because SE is my Fav Sandbox game on Steam.
