Venture, ship never returned - Fixes in a future build.

Post by GrandMadzil » Sat, 20. Jun 20, 14:42

I send a ship to venturing, then made changes to station buildings and move venture platform ship still venturing in the unknown sector and I can't dock another ship to sand for venturing. it's venturing 3rd day but I sand it for 2 hours. Any suggestion game version 3.20.

If you move any module it gets deconstructed and rebuilt.

You effectively destroyed the equipment the Venture needs to operate.

Ships can get destroyed out there in the multiverse, but I think in your case you should have waited for it coming back and docked it at the station while you took the Venture platform to bits and relocated it.


Another issue to watch out for when reorganising modules :
A few days ago I wanted to replace Small Biomes (for crew), with large Biomes.
Thinking if I build one large, and then remove one small, there would be room to still accommodate all the crew.
So I did that sequence for each Biome ..
However the station did not build in the sequence I did, instead it removed everything to be removed first, and then built everything on order = I lost around 2000 crew which were running the station optimally prior to my changes :evil:

Could you provide a savegame showing this situation, please?

Just upload a save where you're standing on the venture platform trying to get a new ship to dock, ready for a venture.

Yes, and we need to see a savegame showing that situation to find out why you don't have that option.

So we found two problems here.
1. you moved the venture platform while a ship was on a venture, that makes it really hard for ships to find their way back - we were able to add some fallback coding that allows your ship to return to the new dock (as long as there is an unoccupied one and no other ships are on ventures) - that should work fine for your current save as issue number 2 is preventing you from starting new ventures
2. the venture modules have been built in the wrong order and the dock is not correctly linked to the venture platform. Without proper linkage they cannot be used for ventures. There is even a warning in the UI telling you that something is wrong.
venture_module_error.jpg
There is at least one venture dock without a valid connection to a venture platform.
(you need to place the venture platform first, then attach the other venture modules to it)
We've fixed that as well and have added code that should detect and auto-correct this issue in the future.

All of the fixes are in the upcoming beta of the 3.30 update.
