DO NOT USE REPULSION CANNON ON FITTED CYCLOPS. Ver 2.0

[Wolfrages]

Reposted from Bugs page... to let everyone know...

You know how you like to decorate your Cyclops? Well if you happen to be fighting a monster off the hull from the outside, the repulsion cannon will un-attach all your internal items and they will fall though the hull.

I am now on Cleanup Duty...

[Wolfrages]

Oh, and my 20 something lockers fell though the map.... trying not to freak right now... O,O

[Humpenstilzchen]

Oh thanks for the warning

[Wolfrages]

I play HC So I just Forced closed it...Need to play something else for awhile. That hurt.

+1 to the bug list I guess.

WOW, this is quite the bug.

Using the Repulsion Canon inside the Cyclops not only detaches all the lockers, it also causes the Cyclops to blow up. Everything mounted falls right through the walls:

And continues falling through the terrain:

Meanwhile, the wrecked Cyclops seems gravitationally confused and starts floating into the sky.

And it will continue to float until it gets to the 8192 boundary:

At the boundary, the Cyclops warps back to the center of the map. However, and I never knew this, the beacons do not. Once the Cyclops warped and disappeared, the beacon just began freefalling. It actually fell so fast that it clipped through the terrain on its way back by about 200 meters.

Oh, I thought that issue was exclusive to the "Cyclops Rocket" bug. XD

Thanks for documenting these things as always Admiral. :)


@Wolfrages
Nice catch.

For something like this, you can change the game type to regular Survival for a while to fix the issue, then switch back to hardcore. Just open the console and use the commands "survival" and "hardcore" respectively. That's a workaround so you're never forced to save HC mode in a terrible situation caused by a bug.

Thank you for reporting it. This isn't tracked.

I'll make a ticket.

[HuskyDynamics]

Yikes!

Anyone know if this happens with the propulsion cannon as well, or just the repulsion cannon?

[Just Chill]

The propulsion cannon does not have the same effect to release a shockwave to throw anything away except what currently is "grabbed" by the cannon.

So I doubt this would happen.

I just checked and see that experimental is still available. :D

Quite the thing it's worked on. I still stick to stable 2.0 for now. ;)

[Wolfrages]

Well, 6 hours later. I managed to recover 95% of the damage. Break time. :D

[Neno]

I lost many a kitty poster to reckless repulsion cannon usage :(

[Wolfrages]

Sad

[Explore]

Just tested again, and this bug still happens.
