Magic Path Ship Stuck on Water

[ninjawannabe]

I was in the habit of landing my dragon in the water while vising islands so when I evolved into dragon ship I did the same thing. However, I can't get back into the ship and it has everything, dragon armor, spirit gems, dragonsblood, water helm...i mean everything. This is a huge problem because I can't get into the ship and the only way I can think of would be to get a dragon armor again but I don't have a spirit gem or a way to get to fish village to trade (on first magic island). There are way to many ways to soft lock yourself in this game, I feel like this is game over.

I will quote a previous Q & A :

------

my mobile lab is unreachable
I parked it at a part of the map that if I try to get close to the door the mobile lab dissapears

David Maletz [developer]
you can board (and move) your research vessel by opening the dev console while it's on screen (hit Ctrl+Shift+D),
then paste this code and hit enter:
area.getObject("research").onOperate(player)

------

So go to this page :
https://aground.fandom.com/wiki/IDs
Go to part "Objects" , the go to sub-part "Vehicles" , then click [Expand] , then find the ID name of your vehicle in question !
Then substitute part "research" in the above code with the name of your vehicle then execute code as instructed by David Maletz [developer]

My GUESS is that that will solve your problem, if not then I am sure that someone else will come to your assistance shortly....

Then stop crying , the developer of this game is very supportive of the game and there are more people here that are willing to help others also...
(As a side note , then in Aground you generally need to think before saving your game and also be creative to rectify your 'mistakes' , but otherwise then the developer David Maletz has supplied plenty of 'cheat codes' if you happen to really screw up)(David Maletz appears to have made the 'cheat codes' not for cheating but for game testing purposes but he has generously shared the codes with the players)

Also here is a list of commands :
https://aground.fandom.com/wiki/Commands
And to the above linked to ID list :
https://aground.fandom.com/wiki/IDs


Have a very nice day and enjoy your playing Aground

P.S.
I did not find the command
area.getObject("research").onOperate(player)
in the Wiki command list but I do not edit the Wiki so I will leave it to someone else to add it to the Wiki....

P.S. 2
It appears that there are another way for people to get AN objects, on a set location , I quote another Q & A :
(That code however will most likely spawn a new ? object rather than the old one - I dunno)

Worst bug ever (Spoilery)
SPOILERS AHEAD.

So, I bribed the three structures on the dragon planet using the magic route and took em and left.
Fast forward a lot of grinding, I'm now on the island with the first dragon ship converter
and make the Dragon Cruiser at the sea level area,
making absolutely sure none of the HQ Dragon converter is in tiles and the tiles above are mined out.
Completely hollow. So I make the most expensive, most powerful ship: the Cruiser. It shows the animation.
Camera gets warped back to me and theres no ship. Anywhere. ????????????????????????????????????????????????


David Maletz [developer]
If there is not enough room for the cruiser, it'll die.
Remember, spaceships can't be underground, so whether the tiles are mined or not, they block it.
You learned the hard way not to build a cruiser under a floating island (but even if it hadn't died, it would've been stuck).
You can use a cheat code to spawn a new one tho:

<object id="dragon_cruiser" x="0" />

That will spawn one at the left side of an island - don't use it on an island with a floating island on the left.

Please notice that I have never used any 'cheat codes' in Aground so I do not know exactly how the above one works other than it appear to set relative object location (relative to ?)....

You need an alter gem, which can be found on either magic island, to transform an adult dragon. I don't have enough information, but it seems as though you may be able to do that and fly back to the spaceship (requires being able to go to the first magic island, though).

[David Maletz]

Yeah, I need to add a warning if you try to exit the dragon ship over water without flying gear, as you cannot get back into it by swimming (it will show a warning if the ship is flying, but not if it is right above water). For now, you just need any flying equipment (including a jetpack, which you can find in a chest on sunset haven) to get back into the ship. You could also use a cheat code like fiat suggests if you don't want to create dragon armor or find a jetpack - hit Ctrl+Shift+D and paste this code to enter a dragon ship in the current area:

area.getObject("dragon_ship").onOperate(player)

Also, this is not a soft lock, it is an inconvenience, as you have everything you need to create another dragon armor without even leaving the magic island (even if you mined ALL of the spirit gems, you can get infinite in the wyrm tunnels).

Thank you, that was a really easy fix. I must of had a streak of bad luck as the worms and golems never dropped a spirit gem for me (dropped almost everything else though) so I thought the only way to get infinite was through trading, so thanks for that tip too.
