Common Bugs List
Let's ignore the less than savoury characters who ignored the Early Access stamp and multiple warnings directly from the developers that this game is far from finished; and help the developers craft this game into a gem just like they did with Subnautica.

Make sure as you're playing to use that F8 key to report any bugs you encounter, but let's compile a list here of common bugs we've encountered and possible solutions to them.

Bugs:

-Sometimes when changing batteries, the battery switch menu gets stuck. Fix: Save and reload.

-Sometimes using medkits from your toolbar causes your toolbar to glitch, and you can't target anything. Fix: Save and reload.

-Sometimes reloading a game items you've crafted get reverted back to materials you had before or items you've placed in containers get duplicated back into your inventory. Fix: Try saving frequently, and save twice before exiting or reloading the game.

-Can access and use the fabricator inside the temp shelter from outside the shelter underneath the solar pannel.. Reported it.

- Sometimes when using a consumable item from inventory, the slot in your inventory stays filled. You can't move the "fake item", but it still counts against your inventory limit. Had this happen with water and medkits. Saving/reloading does seem to solve this. Reported it.

- Game sometimes gets confused when trying to enter the temp shelter at speed. As in, you end up swimming inside (aka like in the original game :D). Exiting/re-entering slower solves it. Reported it.

- Cargo rocket unrepairs itself after reloading save made after repairing said rocket, may not be able to launch. Fix: Try reloading the game, and putting the samples in on the opposite side.

-Teleporting to biome introarea resets the assets. Teleporting in general has issues.

-In some places, all the resources float, sometimes even above water.
Crashfish can be found on the giant ice shelf on the side of the map that do nothing, some of which float off the edge of the ice shelf.

-After sending the sample with cargo rocket I got back to water but couldn't swim. As if there was no water. Just walked in the bottom. And the air tank stayed full. All the fish were still swimming.

Just getting a little confused about which "Post your Bugs here" thread we should use.

One of the existing ones? Or should we just use whichever new one people who don't use Search to find the existing ones create?

teleporting to biome introarea resets the assets. teleporting in general has issues. I didn't report it because I expect there to be some issues and I'm sure theres bigger ones to deal with. Love the game, excited to see it built out.

does teleporting to into area cause the 2 rockets in one glitch to revert? Ive got about 7 rockets stacked atop each other and im trying to revert it.

Two I've found and reported but they may be low priority.

1: If you try to place a floating pump above the water, it will not deploy and will instead sink.

2: When the beacon breaks the ice in the intro, the ladder that let you get down before will still function. If used while the ladder is on the ground, it will shove the player under the map, which does not seem to have collision from that side so one can get back in bounds.

In the OP, when you say "fix" it should be stated "workaround".

Guys - after this thread was created the Devs made a Bug Reports subforum.

Subforums are listed on the right side of the Main page.

How about we stop using this thread to report bugs and use the Bug Reports subforum instead.

I fixed the communication tower and didn't get any air drop with the depth module. Came back to Iceland and tower still needs to be fix.
