Stuff falling through the ground still?

[tdutton]

I don't suppose they fixed this in the update, did they?

I was really enjoying the game, and I am not one of those people who think a few bugs is the end of the world. I lost my tractor with three trailers full of gear and that was weird but I let it go.
Then a storage of nanocarbon alloy and aluminum alloy dropped into the void.
That was really disappointing. I don't think I can continue at this time.

I really want to tho.

Sucks when this happens. If it's any consolation, the stuff usually ends up popping through the ceiling of a cave underneath and can be dug out. Vehicles should be easier since they have radar icons.

My first brand new autoextractor just glitched throught the cave's floor. < Sigh> Took me about half an hour to locate it and bring it back. Then... Noooooo! It glitched again! <Fuming through nose and ears>. Got it back, but it took some time, again.

lol i've had small stuff sink through the ground like resources and other 1 slot items while digging on a hill, but never any large things like buildings or vehicles. though it was known to happen with those more often in the past.

[TwinelyWix]

Yes.

[abdi]

Yeah, that's the only issue I have (and it drives me nuts); I can't imagine major items just vanishing. What?

[🦊 Hermit]

Resources and research items will do it pretty regularly, and unattached storage blocks can vanish on occasion. I've also had the trailers of my tractor fall through while the tractor itself stayed on the surface - thankfully it was able to pull them out.

However I have never seen a base platform, or anything on it, fall through the floor when it is attached and locked. So the way to avoid losing things like this is: go mad with storage. Print out several platforms and storage blocks, and lock everything down.

[Livia]

Okay, must be because I do put everything in storage, on platforms, but I've never lost rovers or tractors either. That would make me so angry. Never lost anything research either.

The only disappearing I have is when I am gathering resources, the backpack is full, the the part where it comes out is under terrain. But early in the game when you have it all just lying in a pile? Nope, never had anything vanish.

Wow...that would be so frustrating.

yeah the larger things vanishing was way back, might still happen to some people today but there could be other issues there on the user end for all i know. any fixes tied to stopping things from clipping through the terrain seems to be linked directly to map generation, meaning if you had the oldest possible map version that still runs, most of those fixes would likely not be in place and working. as they mentioned the getting hung on invisible terrain bugfix requires the player to start a new map to notice any effect.

[Livia]

Hmm, that makes sense. I am wondering if it happens more if you play with others and are not in the same place. I am helping someone else out and the map is slow to generate as we're in different locations - this has never happened to me as a single player.

yep, multiplayer and being on multiple planets means the Host PC has to do more work, bound to be errors either game code wise or from latency. one quick desync when trying to go up a hill from level ground and suddenly your under the hill.

Just lost a large platform and large solar panel that I was moving. Put it down, sunk through floor and vanished. No obvious cave beneath it so assume lost.

This was on the Dec 2022 Cheer update, so no - the bug is not fixed.

That's the one that annoys me the most especially early game when resources are vital. The output of the gun is clipping underground and when the output is full of that resource and the backpack is full, it either disappears or it clips underground. I think it probably clips underground but I have never investigated it nor went looking for where it went.

Update today: logged in to find my medium rover with 2 medium trailers and 2 small trailers attached, plus large storage, a large battery, etc. just gone.

Spotted it on the compass, and found it down in a cavern, behind two solid walls, crashed on its side. First time that's happened, but definitely a result of this bug

I love this game... But dang is it frustrating.
