Are the transponder node or tracker still bugged?

[Megalous]

I wan't to use transponders in my singleplayer local game but in the wiki I read that it may crash the game and corrupt the save file:

Is this still the case?

Don't know about crashing or save corruption but my placed transponder nodes did get deleted whenever i loaded my save.

So i stopped using them cause they are pretty much useless because of this.

+1 to that. They disappeared for me too. I stopped wasting time with them.

Pretty sure save games just periodically spontaneously corrupt anyway. Make sure you have backups just in case.

As to transponders, even if they did not corrupt your save and stayed put when loading the game I am pretty sure they would still dissolve when using a cryopod or if your critter got in a fight. It's pretty crazy how much of the base game is basically just broken.

Sure glad they directed everyone's suggests and concerns about the sequel into a single thread they won't have to be bothered to look at if they don't feel like it.
