Weird Freighter Room Bug

[Turkish Hair Graft]

Hey folks so I'm new and I got what seems like a clear bug. I pit down my lil expedition command room and a cargo room in my first freighter. I went back to my ship, did not leave the freighter, then came back. The rooms are now situated behind walls. I can't target or delete them, and I can't place anything there. I can see them back there when I try to place something on the spot. It affected all the rooms I had placed.

Is there any way to get in at them or resolve the bug?

The room is literally behind this wall. I can't delete the corridor to get to it, or place corridors around it to i can target it for deletion - https://ibb.co/yFvnDPC

My web advisor warns me your link is too risky to open. Sorry.

Oh. Odd. Well it's not needed really, its a photo of a blank section of wall.

Also, I can't debrief the frigate i sent out on expedition without somehow getting into that room.

Its odd you can't delete the rooms and build them somewhere else.

I am not sure it is a bug...usually it is those "helpful" blue guides that make it almost impossible to see where you are actually placing something...so real easy, especially on the freighter, to place the room inside the wall.

Freighters are confusing because rather than building you are really creating negative space. It is also real easy to get locked behind the walls yourself...and even fall through the freighter if you are not really careful.

I had my share of that over the years >.> one of the reasons why i don't set foot in hydroponics anymore, it's a death trap. I had one visitor land on and walk around my freighter, told him in chat not to go anywhere inside the hydroponics room. He did. And fell through the floor. Nope, no way back in.

Have you already reloaded your save? It sounds trivial I know, but my freighter has changed color AND form in the past but reloading always fixed it for me.

I did, it was too late by the time i came back to check. I had saved multiple times.

I actually can't even TARGET the room in order to delete it. I'm working towards buying another freighter, but if I do that with an unresolved expedition do i lost the frigate involved? How does that work.

Good suggestion (i.e. did you turn it off and on again!?). This is in the same category as finding my base 3 meters higher or lower than it should be. Reload save -> fixed.

Posted at the same time, but no, it was too late to reload a save.

Ouch. Now you know. Never save a base when its jacked up. If this happened to me I would see if the save editor could fix it. If not, time to find another freighter? Hopefully this one isn't the freighter of your dreams?

It ain't stupid if it works

You can move the construction camera outside the walls, do not know if it would solve your problem, but you can try.

Do this. Open the build menu, and create a room next to the problem area, press C and go into camera mode, move the camera into the room you just created, remove that room, now the camera ends up outside the walls of your freighter base, then move the camera to a location where you can remove the defective rooms.

P.S. You will never lose your frigates. They will patiently wait for you if you don't debrief them or if you buy a new freighter. They wait until you're ready.

Ok, that sounds like it could work. I'll report back.

I can't thank you guys enough, this worked. Easy to do, and when I rebuilt the command room the debrief was ready to go.

What a nice community :D
