[2.0.14] Multiplayer partner's drop pod landed on and killed me

Post by Cakoluchiam »

What did you do?
In a multiplayer game, my partner and I took a space platform to Fulgora for the first time, and when we got there, we decided to go down together.
What happened?
Not the best start to this journey of exploration.

(My drop pod landed almost exactly on top of a lightning tower, and then a split second later, I got the "you have died" notification, and the log said I was killed by a Cargo pod. Turns out my partner's drop pod actually landed in exactly the same spot!)

We laughed for like 5 minutes straight.
What did you expect to happen instead?
Multiplayer drop pods should ideally not land in the exact same spot!
Also, being killed by a falling drop pod is lame and probably shouldn't happen in the first place. There should at least be some sort of warning before it lands so you can get out of the way (though that wouldn't have helped in this case since I only had a split second after landing).
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Only once so far! (This was our first new planet. We'll see what happens when we go to our next planet : ))
