Is there a known bug about hand brake?
I built a ground vehicle to explore around my base and find some ressources. I found magnesium, uranium and silicon... mine the first spot, put ore into the container of my vehicle, went to the second spot (driving), had to put hand brake because of slope to avoid my vehicle to run down... mined and wanted to go back to my base.
I put off the hand brake, and.... nothing. impossible to move. My battery is still charged, wheels can turn left or right, but I can't move forwards or backwards.
I thought the container was too heavy so I took the ore to my base with jetpack.
Container is now empty but I still can't move.
I tried the different options of wheels in the control panel but nothind changed.
Any idea about what happens?

Things to try :

> "P" again and "Y" to turn OFF and ON

> Also reloading the world may fix.

If you can't fix at all = publish your world on the Workshop and tell me when ready.

I forgot to specify this :

"Publish your world where the car is not moving"

Save with your character in front of the bug.

Also, know that the Parking Brake symbol on your UI does not accurately reflect the status of the brakes. It currently only indicates whether or not you've pushed the button.

I tried it at first with no positive result... and then left the game for dinner...
I just came back and going to my vehicle, I just saw it going slowly backwards down the slope. I got in and could drive it again!!!

Thanks for your info about the bug. I don't remember if I did open a window or not at the moment I stopped but I'll remember it for the future.

About something else, I noticed that when I start a game, when flying with a respawn ship (standard lander), coming near the surface shows many trees suspended in the air, and when landing, I sunk a couple of times under the visible surface, and this last time, I was above the surface, about 1 meter up!
The point is that when I relaunch the game, it does not fix automatically the problem. I sometimes had to relaunch 2 or 3 times to fix it. Pity I didn't try it for my problem. Maybe it would have worked.

So once more, problem solved. And once more I feel a bit stupid!
Thanks again.

EDIT: Sorry I don't want to be boring, but I also noticed I always arrive above mountains all around me and I can fly as long as I want (not too long though), there are only mountains. And there's never any water (only snow and ice). Is this the default for this world (Star System)? Or can I fly forward to finally find some valleys and maybe coasts?

"coming near the surface shows many trees suspended in the air,"

Never happened to me so you will have to go to the support website and use the search tool to see if it is reported.. IF not = report it by sharing your world + game log.

"Or can I fly forward to finally find some valleys and maybe coasts?"

Yes, just explore to find the right spot to land on.
