How to remove corpse (ded enges)? (solved)

[☠Dragnoros, der Wächter]

the title says anything

[☠Dragnoros, der Wächter]

i know the combination with ALT+F10 but i cant find it anywhere...

would be nice if you can answer in german but it's not so important

[frag2k4]

Sorry my German is too rusty to even try. But as far as I know there is no real way to remove them. There was some idea around simply grinding the blocks around them away and then moving but I think like bushes they are just there.

[☠Dragnoros, der Wächter]

thanks for the fast answer.

i read this already. I doesn't really want to disassemble the ship again... xD.

I also don't understand why they weren't given a hitbox.

[Buzzard]

They *do* have a hitbox, and *can* be removed with a grinder. Sadly, finding that spot with a handheld grinder isn't exactly easy without removing blocks around it.

I've loaded a saved game into SEToolBox and gotten rid of them that way.

[☠Dragnoros, der Wächter]

so a realy small hitbox which i didnt found.

i removed all the blocks next the corpes and this didnt move with the ship anymore. but if they had a hitbox...then they are not allowed to go through blocks once they are "free" (i.e. no longer attached on the ship)

it's weird

Hi, the best is to save in front of the bug ready for testing and send that save to the SE Programmers with short description of the problem, they will tell your if they can fix or not.

Just publish the save on the Workshop and send it directly to the SE Programmers.

Support Portal = https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc
(create "Bug report" or "Request help"(Private) or "Feedback"(Petition) on the Portal)

All may use the Support Email to report the bugs found if they prefer :

That said, I have used in creative mode working on my next Workshop scenario and did not noticed any problems, I was able to delete and place new ones by aiming with block in hand.
-> I aim at the dead enegineer with block in hand and right click to delete.

[Dan2D3D]

I will go in to double check and feedback to you, I'll be back in few ...

[Dan2D3D]

Testing done = No problems removing it at all.

By deleting = OK

By grinding = OK

and I was able to see its bounding box and it shows on screen ^ that I am aiming at that block.

Conclusion :

May be bugged in your save only so in specific save / specific situation and why sending your save for testing will help the SE Programmers.

Shoot the corpse with a gun until it explodes, that is how you remove it.

[☠Dragnoros, der Wächter]

Dan. Sorry i was sleeping and i forgot to turn off my PC.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, since I no longer have a backup where I know where these corpses are, I can't make a video/picture right now.

All I can say is that I found the bodies via a mayday signal and rebuilt the ship.

If I ever find the bodies again, I'll report back.
But I can tell you that they didn't have a hitbox, because I didn't get an infobox either (like in your picture). It must be a bug, since you've proved that you can normally remove/see them.

But were moored at the other blocks. but after removing them, was able to build blocks into the corpses without them locking/aligning to the corpse's grid.

I have mods on it, but they shouldn't actually edit the corpse. Maybe it's because the world has had several updates, but since the MAYDAY signal is new, I don't think so.

Thanks for the answer/ help.

[Dan2D3D]

Ah! The dead one from "mayday signal" is very easy to make it spawn in so I can go try it anytime.

I usually grind those ships to recover the important I need and never rebuild to use but I will go in-game to see if I will be able to grind it.

[☠Dragnoros, der Wächter]

i give you a screnshot above the ship later

it dont look 100% like this but you should find it,

[Dan2D3D]

Probably an old model that needs to be updated/changed, I have tested by using the dead engineers DLC and those were addded in-game later/way after the "mayday signal" one.

+ The one in the "mayday signal" is probably too old.
