Cant exit small hover craft

[Meatsac]

I think there is a bug on small HV's every time i get out now i am under it , so i deconstructed if thinking it minght be missing block ond same thing on the new one , i can ext large hv's with inside cockpits but the small miners are getting stuck

You're likely having issues with a recent bug fix with cockpits, which in turn borked a lot of small HV/SV builds. I had to tweak the block setup with my mini miner as well as I was getting stuck inside several blocks.

"- Fixed: Exploit with exiting a cockpit and exit cockpit inside base (you get now moved inside/very close to the cockpit, if no free position is available. Please be advised to rebuild your ships if your cockpit is surrounded by blocks or other obstacles. You need about 3 "free blocks" of space above the cockpit and a clear path to walk to it / reach it)"

ok so do i remove a 3 block space around the cockpit or make a bigget opening ? , what is the fix , i have a modified bumble bee style cockpit , thanks for the info

[Zepheros]

It depends on your ship design. I only have one block open above my cockpit, but if I remove one block infront of my cockpit, it'll give me enough room for the game to "push" my character outwards as opposed to being stuck before hand. You'll just have to experiment and see what works.

i took off the two shutter doors above the cockpit and that did it , kind of sucks for the small miner craft

This change killed my favorite SV so I had to redesign from the ground up. I found that having a 1x1x3-high space behind the cockpit allows you to exit without a hitch. I'm using a shutter hatch in the top of the craft to get in and out, although a narrow craft might be able to put one in the side.

ive been restarting the game when i get stuck.

YA , i got tired of doing that just took off the shutter doors , it is a small opening but it does not matter it was not air tight anyway

Is this going to change or is the current system staying? because its ruined about 3/4th of all the designs i use. Its even borked their own prefabs!!

It was an intentional change, not a bug, so it's likely to stay the way it is. They've said they may adjust the hitboxes slightly but it seems that's all.

Ok. Thanks for the verification

[Meatsac]

ya basically any ships affected will need remodeling
