we only get station spawns after last update and no ships (MES with Parallax, Incon, Imber)

Is there anything setting or mod to make players despawn while offline, we keep getting offline attacked. Its making it really hard to progress when we cant even defend ourselves yet

@Azil - My advice below still applies.

Same issue. I tested it on a clean install and I can't get a single spawn.

@Burnt Dog - See comment below yours.

None of the chat commands seem to do anything. Also having the issue of nothing spawning aside from the initial trading posts. I'm on a clean world and have tested on multiple new saves.

Tested workshop versions on my end and everything is working fine. If it's not working for you, then you may want to explore some of the troubleshooting resources found at the bottom of the mod page.

Same here, i think last update destroyed the funciontality of this mod and now isn't working

Also, this mod no longer automatically turns off Cargo Ships and Random Encounters when you add it during world creation.

Does this still work? I don't seem to be getting ANY spawns of ANYTHING after several hours of play.

I recall this working just fine the last time I played a few months back. Was there an update that broke it or something?

@Darth Nipple
as far as my knowledge goes mes itself it compatible with eem, but some submods might not be.
an example fro a eem incompatible mod would be the crew enabled submod for mes which requires aie to work and aie is incompatible with eem due to how eem messes with factions and aie needing specifc aiemade factions with specific background stuff which is required for the bots from aie to work properly, and eem is messing with them too which brings the incompatibility.

Does this work with Exploration Enhancement Mod? I didn't see if they were compatible though I might have missed it.

not to sound like a scrub, but ive never had to use the logs before, thus not really sure how to retrieve them.
If someone could share, id be happy to send logs.
Otherwise ive been crashing in multiplayer every couple of mins with this mod on. Took it off, game is stable but with very little to do.

This have other austronauts?

Hi, maybe this can help, this always appeared in the logs

Thank you for keeping this mod going everyone. I for one really appreciate it

help please, I have no comparison in the world with NPCs (and other events) when I play alone, as soon as my friend connects to me everything starts working fine, what could be the problem?

thank you, a statement that will help us, it just happened since the update, I have been in contact with the support since then but we are not getting any further (unfortunately it only affects the PSN players

The CE error only seems to affect PlayStation users. The specifics of the error don’t tell annything about “why” the crash happens.

Since it only happens on PlayStation and not on other platforms, it may be related to some other similar crashes that were being reported with modded servers.

The crash itself is Client-Side, so no accessible logs are available. My current guess at this time is that the console is trying to do something with script files in the mod it shouldn’t be touching (because it’s not supposed to in the first place), but that’s just speculation on my part.

I’ve let the keen devs know to reach out to me if they have any other information I can act on, but until then, there’s no possible means for us to address that issue.

@Rudijuniornr1
--- please atleast try to get the name correctly ---

without more informations like logs, exact errorcode, exampleworld and maybe some more stuff it will be very hard up to impossible to do a deeper help than whas already be given and for that the steam comment section is too limited, i recommend to join the mes discord (which is linked i nthe moddescription) and present you problem there together with an an good as posisble explanation of the problem, the errorcode, logs and an example world so that a more in depth look can be taken at it.

@Abgrund no, wrong, then the ce error would have to occur in more than one game, especially since you can play solo quite normally.

@Rudijuniornr1
i am not familiar with ce errors, so i did google a bit and from what i could find that they are usually console specific errors being given out by the console itself and mostly poitn towards probs with the console in question.

take the specifc ce error you get and search for it specifc to your used console to get a more detailed answer to what kind of error it is and what you can do to alleviate it.

@Abgrund I know what you mean the mod is only playable on one server for console players I have a Nitrado server and everything worked before the game update now I want to go to my server and get ce

@Rudijuniornr1
that it is happenign while using a console client is a BIG point that needs to be taken into consideration as a world needs to be setup for consoles for them to be able to join the world.
so no mods with client side scripts, no ingame scripts . . . and many more functions need to be taken into consideration.

still the chance for file corruption exists on consoles too, but i dont know how to check on consoles for that as i never had one.

you might also want to ask on the mes discord which is linked in the moddescription as you might need to provide stuff like logs and an example world which is easier via discord than steam, atleast for the logs.

@Abisius Going on the server with a PC when the mod is on it is no problem as soon as you want to go on the server with a console there is a ce error

@Rudijuniornr1
laut offiziellen statement wird er laufen gehalten soweit er nicht komplett zerbrochen wird mitm update.

ansonsten hab ich bisher von keiner anderen seite aus gehört das es probleme gibt, daher vermute ich mal das es möglicherweise entweder an einem modconflict oder an beschädigten dateien auf spiel oder modseite liegt was entweder bei client oder server vorhanden ist.
auch möglich ist das die welt beshcädigte dateien hat, konnte meine singleplayer welt seit dem space engineers update net mehr laden und da ich sie mit net älteren version von space engineers laden kann vermute ich da derzeit das sie einfach zu alt geworden ist.

so ganz nebenbei:
die kommunikation läuft hier eigentlich auf englisch ab da die meisten die hier helfen kennen englisch als zweitsprache können oder nur englisch können, es ist also empfehlenswert englisch zu nutzen wenn es einem möglich ist.

Kommt bei der Mod jetzt noch Mal eine Aktualisierung oder eher nicht ist schade drum

Es kam vorgestern Abend ein Update leider bekomme ich immer noch einen ce Fehler wenn ich auf mein Server will

@Ayduha2
from which mes based mod are they and on which planet?

there are some mes based mods out there which have planetary ships in it which cant handle planets above 1g and thus the ships are already crashing down on alien and pertram.

Hi! I've got a problem. In my singleplayer survival game I constantly see Patrol Trade Ships just lying on the ground. Are their AI makes them just smash into the ground or there's something destryoing them? Bc I already got a lot of those ships just chilling on the ground.

@Meridius : Unsure if CoreSystems refers to WeaponCore or some core SE stuff, but the stack originates from ME so it maybe on this side.

Happened when a Reaver ship crashed into the ground.

hello the mod causes a CE-108255-1 error on ps5 console

Hello Lucas, looks like your mod is producing a CE-Error on the playstation and they no longer can join servers with your Mod. Please take a look, they love your NPCs

Thanks mate.

Thx a lot dude for at least checking if things still work ! Have fun !

Hey folks, just popped in to see if there were any issues after the new SE update. Ran the workshop mod + some encounter mods briefly on my end, and stuff seems to be working from my short test (stuff spawned / moved / etc).

Going back into hibernation now :)

I was able to fix this myself. I went into WeaponRandomizer.cs and on the line for if (weaponBlock == null) I just changed it to this: if (weaponBlock == null || !isWeaponCore)

After making this change the non-WC turrets stop spawning.

Unfortunately some of the dumb "armor packs" I have or things like Azimuth Remastered come with turrets/weapons built in.

@Come and See
as far as i know not.

though i wonder why you would go against the recommendation of not mixing wc and nonwc stuff and thus avoiding the problem an many others resulting from mixing wc and nonwc stuff.

just thw two most mayor compatibility based problems resulting from mixing wc and nonwc stuff:
- nonwc stuff wont have functioning ai
- nonwc stuff cant intercept wc munitions and vise versa

So with weapon randomization is it possible to setup a flag by default to prevent vanilla weapons from spawning if weaponcore is enabled?

I saw the post by Vargali and nunzia, regarding disabling inhibitors not being an option.
Is there a way to specifically stop the disabling of inertia?

Locking the dampeners with a grid keeps everyone's movement stable.

Is there a way to disable the inhibitors?
The inertia inhibitor causes my friends to lag out my ship.

first try a new world using MES without the Imber mod... if that don't work, you may have to uninstall MES then reinstall... failing that, you may have to locate your mods folder in the %appdata% folder for SE and delete entire mods folder,.. steam will auto reinstall as needed, just make sure you have Imber un-subbed first ... if it still persists then someone else will have to suggest a fix

Hi! MES is trying to create NPS factions from mods that I have removed from the game. For example, I deleted the IMBER mod, but the faction remains, and MES is constantly trying to create an NPC. How can I fix this? Is it possible to clear the list of factions?

@Cona6789
as far as my knowledge goes you can add and remove mes mods as you want as long as the compatibility between the rest of the modlist is not broken.
the only exception to that if the mod adds economy stations as these are are positioned upon worldgeneration, atleast to my kowledge.

Will adding more MES mods to a world that has already been created work or will the new mods not spawn anything because the world isnt new

@BASTIAN
as mes supercedes the vanila system i nregards to npc spawning in while having its own spawn categories i would say that it depends on how the mod in quesiton is set up and that question would be better placed on that end of the compatibility line.

okay i have othe mods that need these options on so they will work or i cant use them because of this mod?
Cargo Ships
Random Encounters
Enable Wolves (If Planet Creature Spawner Option or Addon is used)
Enable Spiders (If Planet Creature Spawner Option or Addon is used)

Thanks Abisius

@Happy
information on that is easily found inside the github based mes wiki linked in the moddescription, basically information on all settings is found there.

Amazing answer Abisus thankyou, where can I look to find out how to enable weapon randomisation?
