Disappearing salvage core?

[UncreativelyNamed]

I'm wondering if this happens to other players. Sometimes (and only sometimes), when I place down a salvage core, it just disappears, but it's still working. I can go through a POI and retrieve blocks just fine. However, I can't retrieve the core when I'm done. It's not that big of a deal because I can just make another one and they're cheap, but I'm wondering if this is a known bug or whether I should maybe report it to someone.

I am playing RE2, not vanilla, and I'm single-player only, if it matters.

May need. To delete the game catche sounds like the server is acting up from game play

Happens frequently.. More often than not you'll find the core in the location you placed it previously... it's a right royal pain in the neck, especially if the last place was a planet 70ly away..

So not just me, then. Good to know! Like I said, it doesn't really bother me. They're cheap to make (and I'm a hoarder in the game, so I have tons of stuff), so I've taken to just crafting a supply of salvage cores and keeping them in my carrier, so when I lose one in this way, I have another to take its place.

I will keep that in mind, thanks!

Sorry if i am late to the party on this. 2 things that prevent this from happening to me. First, place the salvage core away from you, like a few blocks at least. It partly seems to be the game determining the core is colliding with the player. second, when placing the core, give it a second or two before placing. call it up on the hot bar, wait a moment, then click it down.

placing too close or too quick all but guarantee i will be hunting the thing down. may not solve 100 percent of the problems, but it used to happen to me all the time, now almost never, and usually because i forgot to do the above.
