[Hrusa][2.0.11] Asteroid collectors stopped collecting asteroids for seemingly no reason

Post by JacksonStarbringer »

In the process of rebuilding an old space platform for continuous travel between planets, I added many collectors around the edge of the platform. I did not give the collectors any circuit conditions, filters, or anything of the sort. After I finished building, I decided that I needed to fly to another planet to harvest more asteroids. After being in transit for a few seconds, the collectors stopped collecting. The attached screenshot has an empty collector not collecting the carbon asteroid right in front of it.
I saved the game, and let it resume play while I typed this report. While typing, the station crawled to a stop above Nauvis, and now the collectors are working again. Attempts to recreate the bug have not given any results. Sorry.

Had this happen to me too on Vulcan Station. Destroying the collector and hitting undo fixes the problem (right bottom collector).

I've tried to investigate this and I was only able to find out that your collectors are holding items and not depositing them.

If you could give me a save file before the platform enters this state I might be able to do more about this. Discovering the steps to get there is the key.

Don't have any save from just before it broke, sorry.

But I was limiting the collectors inventory to 0 slots (red X) and then later copy&pasting the current config to them all. Maybe the collector stopped with the chunks in hand because the inventory slots where full and copy&paste of the config doesn't wake it up again?

Knowing that you limited inventory and copy pasted helps a lot!

Well, I can see them in the broken state and understand why they are broken, but I don't see a way to get them like that again. If you want to fix it, just interact with their inventory in any way. (resize it, put an item in, etc.) They will be unstuck and continue to work as they should.

I've moved the card to the "cursed" board, since it's the only report of this we have so far.
