Problems with geothermal generators, trading frequencies, combat/mining/exploration sites, random missions in save games created before War and Industry


Problems downloading files from a server or brief disconnect messages whenever someone joins the server

Unable to load a save game, start a new game, or get a popup asking you to delete a save game

Loud sound constantly plays in coop or some sounds are too loud

Multiplayer: Some block models are white cubes, missing projectile effects

Some blocks such as constructors and armor lockers have huge collision area

Server: Game does not start after updating scenario

Server: Some blocks randomly turn into other blocks or blocks disappear off structures

Fuel is drained after logging into the game

Using the di command and looking at a structure can cause a continue or quit error loop

Custom sound effects in the scenario are too loud, such as radio chatter or explosions

Planets and moons do not use the new decoration system

Ships become frozen in place when flying on some planets, POIs on some planets do not appear, or some planets cannot be loaded into on dedicated servers

Problems with patrol vessels

NPCs and sentry guns do too much damage to players

Solar Panels for capital vessels do not work

Weapons do not show on ship toolbar

Some POIs do not show up on the detector or show up at low ranges

Sometimes get an inventory full message when mining custom ores

Cannot find Tungsten Ore in Tungsten Ore Deposits

Some ore deposits use a default gray texture

AI turns off, NPCs don't move, turrets don't shoot

POIs, asteroids, and ore deposits do not respawn

Faction POIs and patrol vessels missing from playfields

Mission rewards sometimes not granted

Stuck on a mission or cannot start a mission

Missions reset after pda readdata command or scenario update on server/cannot complete class missions/some missions do not progress

For the coop sound bug: Alt-tab out of the game and open your Windows Volume Control. Mute the extra copies of Empyrion shown in the Volume Mixer. This will mute your coop server so it doesn't constantly play sounds.

For custom sounds being too loud: Adjust your volume settings in-game. Effects should be kept at 100% as they do not control custom sounds added in the scenario. If you put effects volume lower than 100%, sound effects added in the scenario will be louder than intended in comparison to other game sounds.

Re-upload the scenario files to the server and make sure if using a FTP client that you set the transfer mode to "binary".
Delete the cache for the save game on the server. Clients may need to also delete their cache for the server's save game under their saves folder. This may delete any blueprints in the factory. Clients will then re-download the asset bundles from the server when they reconnect.

The scenario is extremely out of date. Make sure the build number shown in-game is the same as the latest build number from the change notes.
Re-upload files to the server if playing on a server and make sure the FTP client's transfer mode is set to binary.
A new save game may be necessary with how old of a version was being used.

Patrol vessels have several hardcoded mechanics or game bugs.
These issues cannot be solved within the scenario and should not be reported here.

• Patrol vessels can be invisible or their location desynced. Traveling to the location of the radar ping for the vessel may resync the vessel's location.
  
• Patrol vessels might not show on the HUD even if you look directly at them and ping your detector.
  
• Patrol vessels can take less damage when shot at from behind.
  
• Patrol vessels can be difficult to salvage, damage, or enter even when disabled. Try placing your own core and turning off thrusters, or waiting for it to settle in place before attempting to board.
  
• Patrol vessels will despawn if their original core is removed and they leave render range for any reason. Keep a decored patrol vessel within render distance until you have looted and salvaged, even if you placed your own core on it.
  
• Patrol vessels can get stuck on asteroids, POIs, or other patrol vessels. This can cause massive FPS loss down to single digits. Leaving the area and coming back later may unstick the vessels.
  
• Patrol vessels spawned as part of the space defense system will warp out if they are disarmed and self destruct if they are disabled or lose their core. Patrol vessels spawned as part of a mission will self destruct if they lose their core.
  
• The space defense system may break and continually spawn infinite reinforcements. Avoid that area or remove all nearby POIs using console commands (on servers ask an admin).
  
• Patrol vessels may move at full speed even with only a single thruster left. Destroy all rear-facing thrusters to force the ship to a complete stop.
  
• Patrol vessels may turn on a dime even if they are dreadnought size.

Additionally some patrol vessels may have additional mechanics in the scenario to increase their difficulty:

• Some patrol vessels may have RTGs that are not targeted by your turrets, preventing you from disabling them by setting your turrets to target generators. Other patrol vessels may have multiple cores. This is intended to increase their difficulty.
  
• Some sectors may be "raided" by fleets of patrol vessels.
  
• Some patrol vessels may have periodic ambient audio. Disable them and shut down their power to turn off the audio. (See coop audio bug above if their audio is too loud).
  
• Not all loot will survive the battle.
  
• Patrol vessels will not abide by the same limitations and restrictions as player ships. They are slow, cannot dodge, cannot keep themselves facing the player, cannot use manual weapons, and cannot retreat to recharge shields or repair damage.
  

They do work. See the following post:
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2550354956/3057366778465573862/

There is a maximum limit of 21 to how many manual weapons a ship can have at one time.
This limit is shared among all devices that show up on the ship toolbar, including drills and detectors.
The first one of any specific weapon does not count towards the limit.
Remove manual weapons until they all start showing up again.

Weapons must be facing forward to show up and operate. Make sure all your weapons are facing the front of your ship.
For the MX-4 Rapid Torpedo Launcher make sure the arrows on top of the launcher are facing towards the front of your ship.

This is intended. Some minor POIs, wrecks, and asteroids will have low detection ranges or won't be detected at all.

This is a technical issue with the way custom ores need to be set up. You can ignore this message and it will not affect your actual yield.
Will sometimes happen when mining dense or rich ice, rich asteroids, and tungsten, magmacite, and silver or any other custom ore types.

Note: Your drills, constructors, or other devices or players will be unable to deposit items into the container while any player is viewing that container. Checking your cargo boxes frequently while mining may cause you to actually lose out on ore.

Tungsten ore deposits are made out of nuggets buried underground. You will need to dig deeper than the POI marker shows and in a larger radius to find them.

When completed, missions will attempt to place their rewards into your personal inventory. If this is full the rewards may instead be dropped near your character or not dropped at all.
If you are connected to a container using logistics, the reward will be placed in your connected container.
If the connected container was unavailable, such as having no empty space or already being viewed by a player you may lose the rewards.
Before completing or turning in any mission make sure you have plenty of free inventory slots and volume either in your personal inventory or any container you are connected to.

NPCs and sentry guns in the scenario currently deal double the intended damage to players.
Until this is fixed with RE2 it is recommended to keep the difficulty on easy.

Also your damage reduction is reduced by how damaged your armor is.

Visual bug only, will not affect yield. Some planets need their textures updated.

Double check the following:

1. Did you make sure the scenario was up to date on your client before transferring the files to the server?
   
2. Did you use binary transfer mode if using a FTP client?
   
3. Did you keep the scenario's folder name the same?
   
4. Did you make sure to not leave the scenario's name as the default string of numbers?
   
5. Did you make sure the server was offline when updating the scenario?

Many missions in the scenario were written before a lot of the new mission tech was added and are therefor prone to getting stuck.

If you encounter an issue where you need to speak to a console that says you cannot speak to a console in player controlled structures, you can either regenerate the POI or travel to a different planet that also has the same missions and resume the mission there.
This happens if you removed the core in the mission POI.

In RE2 many of these missions will be rewritten to avoid breaking.
Please feel free to report those issues here, but it may not be fixable yet.

Some missions have certain requirements before they can be started, such as The Forge mission that requires you to complete the Project Eden Prologue Make Contact with Terran Forces AND have 3 million credits in your bank account.

Missions require mission items to be in your personal inventory, or your personal toolbar if stated as such.
