Freighter rooms spawning randomly

[axolotlentity]

I keep completing milestones in Polestar for constructing rooms without actually constructing them. I've been in singleplayer this entire time, so no one can have messed with my freighter. It just keeps spawning random rooms, and the most recent on is smack in the doorway to the construction area, so I can't even edit it anymore. When I tried to delete the corridor that spawned in the door, it said "oldmangraye" was inside, and I don't know anyone with that handle.

The door block one happened right after a warp, so maybe that has something to do with it? But when the milestones get completed it's while I'm exploring planets, so I don't know how those get there. It's becoming difficult to actually navigate my own ship at this point.
I also had about fifteen portable refiners spawned into my construction area right as I started the expedition save. I got rid of them pretty easily but it was weird.

Hopefully quitting my game and having my most recent save before the block appeared will fix it. I won't have lost any significant progress. At this point I don't even care if I do, I just want to be able to have things work. So far I'm really enjoying the new features, and I want to play with them, but it's a bit difficult when I'm locked out of half of them.

I'll attach me to this thread because I have exactly the same problem. Additionally random objects suddenly are there like portable refineries or savepoints. I can hardly reach any important parts of the ship anymore. This is really annoying.

Hi have either of you tried to move your freighters?
IF you have somehow become merged with another ship the chances of it happening again have to be miniscule. Fly away from the busy areas and call the freighter to your new location or even change system.
IF that doesn't fix the problem it's well worth making a report to ZenDesk.

I have the very same problem. I guess its an overlapping of freighters. When entering a system by jumping with your freighter it seems the freighters get send to the very same spot as other player freighters and the system cant distuinguish between them. So when a player on his freighter builds something, or moves something, it also appears on yours. That is a pretty dumb bug which should have been noticed in testing, really. This makes jumping with your freighter useless aslong as you follow the path of the expedition! Which is pretty sad concidering this is what they wanted you to do. So if you dont want your freighter to get messed up you will have to jump with your ship and call in your freighter...what a dissapointment in an expedition build around your journey with your freighter

I am having the same exact problem. I have had it twice. The first time I ended up resetting my builds and was able to get in the base part of the freighter. It happened again to me today and I am getting several of the rooms added that I didn't add. I can't get into the buildable part of the freighter. I tried fixing by leaving area but that did not work.

I have figured this one out. They are not spawning randomly. Someone else is building on their freighter!
When your freighter jumps to a system it is spawned in a default location for the system. If another player jumps to the same system after you, their freighter is spawned in the exact same location just out of phase. Now when they start building the rooms will also appear on your ship and even mix with rooms you have already built!
Today I got trapped in one room because a player built on top of it trapping me in it! lol

Until Hello Games knows about this bug and fixes it you can avoid it by moving your freighter after jumping in to an expedition system. To do this launch in your personal ship, fly away a little and call your freighter to a new spot in the system.

I am now going off to report it to Hello Games directly. Have fun guys :)

I will try moving the freighter - but I think this happens to a lot of people and should be resolved. It is funny that it didn't pop up during testing....

[sweetbaker57]

I made a report about it yesterday. We will see what happens. In the meantime, I will have to reset my freighter build and rebuild everything. Totally annoying.

Yeah, same here. I thought I was going crazy, rooms were appearing and overlapping other rooms, objects appearing from nowhere. It was like some kind of Event Horizon scene. I created a new game and it started happening again.

I'm seeing this too. It's an annoyance, yes, but so far I've been able to delete the extra items without difficulty.
