Greetings,

I was in map editing mode, making a spaceship. And I was trying to put the asteroid collector on a phantom space foundation and the game allowed me to do so. Not a ghost of the collector, but the collector itself.
When I removed it I saw that it was not on the space foundation.
I did the next most obvious thing and tried to put it on the space outside the ship. It worked. It worked very well.

I was waiting for it not to let me. But it let me do it.

Just before, the game crashed, (see screnshot) so I was trying to replicate the error. I lost those logs, don't ask. But I got this new bug that I think is of the same type.
(The crash; It has to do with putting the asteroid collector without a valid exit to the outside of the ship and trying to remove it. I don't know how that could be done or replicate).

In the video:
I tried changing ship to see if the other one would do the same, no. It wouldn't let me put them in the vacuum. I went back to the first one and tried again. It didn't work anymore. It somehow reseted the bug state.

To get back into the bug state I had to load the game again.

With the rest of the objects it doesn't work. No solar panels, no inserters, nothing else.

I think it is replicable by using: control+shift/shift/clicking over a phantom space foundation and being in edit mode in a certain way. I think there is a pattern to follow.

But:
I will send you the docs and video first before trying to replicate the bug. I don't want any more problems(Loosing files) I just want to play.
I don't know if you will answer me. But before I get stupid again, I will try to wait for your answer before I continue to bug the game.

Thanks for your time. Regards.

Post a log of a session with the crash please.

Hi, so let me explain:

"I lost those logs" Means:

I'm an airhead, I see a bug that could brake the game, what do I do?

I load a previous save game and continue with my ship creation until I get a new bug.
When I ask on reddit they reply that I had to save some files and send them.

I try to look for them but since it's been 20 mins they've already been overwritten by the autosave. Now with 2-3 hours I won't find them even if I want to. And not to mention that I uploaded a previous one in which no such thing happened.

So what I did: I sent you the second bug I found and this time I was smart enough to save the log files and the loaded game.

That's why I say “Don't ask” because this fault is mine, I don't have more than the screanshot. I was stupid. So here's another bug I found.

‘Putting asteroid harvesters in space all over the place with no foundation or anything.’ See video.


Thanks four your atention. Next time I will be more carefull.
