Hub smashed by cargo pod

Post by h.q.droid »

When refactoring my Vulcanus base, I suddenly saw a building destroyed and clicked it, and it turns out my hub was smashed by a pod (the thing you get for throwing down things without a hub), containing fish for the lol value. Sadly I loaded before I thought to save so I don't have a reproduction right now. I did check my hub coordinates after loading though, it's at ~(0,-100), quite far from where pods normally land.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Are you using any mods?

No. Just deconstructing stuff while continuously shipping things in.

From memory, the landing spot of that fish pod roughly matched where the pods would have normally landed into the "hole" of the hub, but looked a little to the left. I could have cut and restored power to the hub repeatedly (due to the refactoring) when it happened.

Cargo landing pads don't have power connections
