Unable to repair Electrical system at Habitat Alpha

Sanginius 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 6

Run into a problem, whilst I was exploring 4 wires out of the 5 apparently became broken, after removing them i cannot successfully repair the socket, and cannot replace the wire. Also the Socket below the electronic circuit is stuck at 40% and will not repair either, I have tried exiting and restarting the game to no avail, any suggestions? Currently i have absolutely no power income or stored power. I have something like 3 spare charged batteries and havent found any vehicles or the other two habitats.survivalmode.lpsave

PRT interaction issues

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 2

Instead of posting these one by one I'll put them in a single post to make it less spammy. :)


The PRT storage behaves as the hab storage used to in respect to pressing the "i" key while the storage is open for transferring items; instead of switching the datapad to inventory view, pressing "i" causes the datapad to go to the home screen and get lowered. The other hotkeys work as expected, switching the datapad to the corresponding screen without lowering it.


The "Inspect PRT" hotspot becomes unresponsive after having received a HUD text message, such as the one about an oxygen canister breaking after use, until the datapad is opened then closed by any hotkey. There was a similar issue a long time ago with these kind of messages which caused all left clickable items to become unresponsive until the datapad was opened then closed. I'm guessing it's the same thing only the fix wasn't applied to the PRT.


The "Inspect PRT" hotspot access range becomes extended to 10-15 meters in most cases after exiting the PRT, and rarely also when exiting a hab the PRT is parked next to. Sometimes hitting Esc to bring up the pause menu, or opening and closing the datapad clears this, and actually using the "Inspect PRT" hotspot from any distance where it's accessible to open the datapad then closing it without doing anything always clears it.

Held items don't receive sun shadows

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated by Tyler Owen (Lead Developer) 6 years ago 1

When equipped outdoors, the datapad and the pickaxe doesn't receive sun shadows from environment objects such as the hab, the PRT or the hab systems (likely also not from larger rock formations), while they do receive a shadow from the otherwise invisible player model.

Hitting "Esc" to open/close pause menu puts away pickaxe

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 0

While the pickaxe is equipped, pressing "Esc" to open the pause menu, then again to close it will put away the pickaxe. Doing the same when the datapad is open will instead just put the datapad away but not even open the menu unless Esc is pressed a second time.


I think it's actually caused by the Esc key apparently having an invisible keybind to "put away held item", which is handled differently for the two cases, since if you try to assign the Esc key to any control in Options, you'll get a message that Esc is already in use, however, it is not actually assigned to anything in any of the control lists.


I think the easiest to resolve this would be if the Esc key didn't have any ingame function (so it wouldn't put the datapad, nor the pickaxe away, especially since there is no keybind definition for this behaviour in Options), it would only open and close the pause menu without affecting anytthing else.

Pickaxe has a blue "highlight" outdoors

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated by Tyler Owen (Lead Developer) 6 years ago 3

The orange parts of the pickaxe are receiving a faint dark blue light from somewhere while outdoors. It is only visible when the pickaxe is not in direct sunlight, eg. turning the player character in a direction where she casts a shadow on the pickaxe, and most noticeable along the edges, kind of like faint rim lighting or edge highlight. At night, it is barely visible but still there.


There is a similar highlight indoors, but there its white, which matches the white indoor lighting, so it looks correct there. So I'm guessing this is intentional, only the light source used outdoors for it is set incorrectly.

What's the shortest possible radiation storm?

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated by Tyler Owen (Lead Developer) 6 years ago 3

I just had a radiation storm which, I think, didn't even last a whole sol (I'm not quite sure about the exact length, I think it was somewhere around 14-20 hours, maybe), so I was wondering if this is within the intended range or something may be off and should be looked at?


I know I had longer ones, but this one was surprisingly short.

Display sampled locations on map

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated by Tyler Owen (Lead Developer) 6 years ago 2

It could be helpful if there was a way to visualize the locations on the map the samples in the hab (or habs) were collected from in some way, when interacting with the research station.


It would likely be the best if all of the sampled locations were made visible at the same time to be able to get a picture of the coverage achieved so far and if there is some general area where no samples were taken from, or some specific location that might be of interest to try.

Photo waypoints not at terrain level

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated by Tyler Owen (Lead Developer) 6 years ago 4

Sometimes when setting a waypoint from a photo, the waypoint will turn out to be placed above or below the local terrain level by about 100 meters. As in, when you are standing at the exact location of the marker, the compass marker still shows a distance of 98-100 meters to it.


It doesn't always happen and I couldn't really recognize any specific circumstance that causes a waypoint to behave like this.

Rock samples have 0 weight

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated by Tyler Owen (Lead Developer) 6 years ago 1

While this may be by design, but it doesn't feel right. Although it's not specified how big the samples are (for what purpose they are taken, just a tiny splinter or something bigger, only one or more pieces), they should still have at least a token weight, maybe 0.2-0.5 kg each.

Rock samples don't appear at the research station

Mr. Fusion 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 3

I have placed a full set of rock samples in the storage area of Hab Alpha, and while their overall quality is displayed on the left side of the research screen, the right side of it is empty, not showing any of the samples.


Another player reported that all their samples have shown up under Hab Gamma, even though they were not placed there.
