Why is my ship exploding?

[Mr. B]

As the title says. It keeps happening, with the ship erupting in explosions, for no apparent reason. Even if I fix the ship, it still explodes.

Someone sneakily installed you this mod:

Yeah, I saw that mod, while looking for answers. I do NOT have it insatlled. lol

I took a look at the screenshot you submitted and all the details of the conditions you mentioned in which it has occurred and still have no idea why it's exploding. Maybe I'll know more after watching the video.

Are you like on fire or something? Screenshots or a save file would be helpful.

Sounds like fire and no one firefighting.

[[DKS] Killaim]

yeh. fire. seems like it. i had that. kept trying to repair. kept blowing up. eventually saw that no fireextinguishers in a long range.

[icuurd12b42]

You can setup 6 extinguishers in front of a 6 crew room. and have them be firefighters only. It's enough for a big ship when you have crew to spare.

A fire breaks out one guy leaves the room and picks up an extinguisher to get to the fire on time.

Don't multi-role the fire fighting because things get weird when there's a fire in the middle of a fight..

Dedicated Firefighters are fine, if one has the crew to spare. In Career this is more difficult. In my opinion, it's better to assign the role to the suppliers (of batteries or ammo). Usually there are plenty of them around.

If a fire breaks out this means a component that used to require Suppliers has been destroyed. If its Operators are still alive, they can pick up the job and extinguish the fire. Else the suppliers will don the firefighting gear as they won't have to supply anymore.

The important thing either way is a proper path between a nearby firefighting tile, sites with potential fires (large shields, cannons, etc), and the crew quarters of these Suppliers.

[Mr. B]

It propbably was extinguishers, then. I will keep that in mind. Thank you all.

Please remember, there's not such thing as too many firefighting stations.

If you have a tile to spare, one that's not in the way for supplying, put a station, or two, or three. You get the idea.
