[BUG] Moon pool damage unrepairable [47282][50032][59783]

[kumipuukko]

In short: I can not repair (probable) damage on moon pool.

Longer version:
Base got dimmed, figured out eventually that I had couple leaks in multipurpose rooms, fixed those... but base is still dimmed.

I found a hissing sound in a corner of the moon pool, but no visual changes inside or outside, and blindly trying to use repair tool all over that area (even while being inside visuals on the outside) does nothing. Removing the moon pool brings the lights back up, and creating it again in different location results in all good state (proves that the issue is damage in moon pool). Creating the moonpool again in the original position results in the same hissing sound in the same corner and dimmed base lights.

I.e. can not fix the moon pool in its intended location.

One would also think that full deconstructing and reconstructing would count as repair, too, instead of keeping the broken status in some hidden saved data.

For reproduction, I have no clue how that damage even came to be there (or anywhere else in the base for that matter), but I suspect randomly spawned gasopoddies getting nuts. I guess one can try shooting things at it, or build it near big animals...


(P.S. If someone knows how to add new messages to unknownworld's own forums, feel free to tell me the trick. I managed to register, and apparently I could comment other threads, but there is nothing to click to add new messages. And could not find any sticky topics or anything that would tell something like "you need to make 2 comments here or there first".)

Still in effect in 50032.

Still have no clue how to make new threads (i.e. report bugs) in subnautica's own forum.
(EDIT: after rechecking today, it this time shows a message telling what I need to do. Yay.)

EDIT: after moving (i.e. dismantle+rebuild) the moonpool down one step, it was immediately showing couple spots to repair. After repairing one of them, leakage sounds vanished, got message about integrity restored and starting to drain the base, and lights got bright again. However, the water levels inside base remained bad anyway (another bug, i think).

Once moving the moonpool back up to the original problem spot, the corner was still making the sound, base is dimmed, etc. Moving it one step up (above the sea level) is ok, nothing to fix that way.

One horizontal move was also ok, can not test other 3 directions due to the rest of the base being in the way (and way too much work to dismantle them first).

While moving the moonpool around, I also noticed that it happily removed windows from other modules in order to make connection to them (bad, as getting material for windows seems to be quite a chore now, I'd rather have it leave the moonpool unconnected if there is no empty wall to play with).

I found recently this link https://trello.com/b/eLEWpq3P/subnautica-playtesting
But I am not sure if we, the players, can add bugs there.

I'd rather keep using one site for interaction, and since the devs obviously do things here (or at least have done), this seems easiest to me. Already have steam account to use this and all that, vs. having to create yet another account into yet another place...

They also have their own forum, trello, and some other site where the in-game reports can be seen. (If not even more.) On their forum I managed to register, but can't make new threads (...just rechecked, there is finally a message that tells what I need to do, I'll try that next). On that in-game reports site I managed to see one of my reports, but could not interact with it in any way (I would have deleted since I soon after found out that the bug was different in nature).

If they do not bother to look for bugs in here, they should simply make a pinned topic saying so...

I first used the in-game reporting that they seem to recommend using, but it is very limited and awkward to use, and once I saw the rate at which various reports pour in through that... bleh, they have no chance to notice my case among all that noise.

And still in effect... Lets see if the official forums gets any better results..
