Parachutes are broken

[-[FҒ]- Heӿλgoռ Ғ๖lcøn]

It happens sometimes that you missclick E or such and you dismount on your bird, mostly i got the parachute with me, same as last 2 times.... last times i missclicked again and i quickly deployed my parachute, nothing happended with my fallspeed and i smashed down insta-death, couldn't find my corpse or backpack even with my bed close to it, because i fell near my base, at the death-place i didn't find anything from my stuff... lost all my high-stats gear and expensive items...........


A few mins later i pressed E again (Dumb♥♥♥♥) with building a tower, deployed my parachute again and it appears it was working normaly, but when i walked 1 step from where i landed the damage kicked in and also death.... please fix the chutes devs !

could be you lagged (unless its single player) sometiems if you lag it takes longer for the parachute to deploy, killing you

It was both on a server,

First time was plenty of height/time to get over the lagg, i was pretty high in the sky when i deployed it... so the lagg wasn't the problem, + the server i play on is pretty much lagg-free

The seccond time was from like 10-15 panels high, but again, the server is like lagg-free


Both times the shute animation was opened and i could sorta steer ?

Yeah I had same problem, fell off bird and used Parachute and still died, spawned in bed nearby and couldn't find my body or a bag loosing all my stuff. On an Official Server.

Sometimes it looks like you have parachute in your hotbar, but in fact you don't have any and it's just the greyed-out placeholder item. Try to always have a number (2) in the corner to show that you have 2 parachutes, then you can be sure this won't happen ;)

I mostly have 3 shutes with me, there was a #3 at the corner

Question: Does the parachute automatically deploy? Or do you have to activate it?
If it auto deploys, then by hitting the hotbar key would stop the parachute, no?

well if you took a step and died, that was definatly lag, also if you lag when falling, the parachute works similar to real life in the sense it takes more time to slow down the more you have fallen, was watching a vid were someone went to the cave on death island, jumped for 1 second, used a parachute, and was still falling pretty fast, and the other guy fell slowly, so there is that

@Gulch, you have to press the button wich the shute is placed in the hotbar


@Blade The first time was from really high altitude, no-way that it took that long before the shute works

[Simulated Humanity]

still a PROBLEM.

Whole game is still broken AF, and the're still pushing content 24/7 instead of fixing this sorta things, that's prolly the biggest part i'm not playing it anymore
