No, I read of another played who got stuck 100k lightyears away from their own area.

No shortage of bugs at the moment. They’ll get fixed soon no doubt. Some real big ones though.

Ahh ok, so for now just play MP only i guess...

Did you follow the steps? It might not be 100% proven reading that post right through, it does appear to be working for a lot of people.

Yes and tried the other two ways too, no luck at all. Seems it can get stuck in different ways

This apparently works 100% for the base computer freighter bug https://steamcommunity.com/app/275850/discussions/2/1762481957310442792/

I'll give it a go, but since I already moved my freighter, and the waypoint is stuck in space, I don't hold out much hope.

Does anyone know why the adjacent boost isn't appearing on my photon cannon module?

For some reason it's not even working. I should be getting three beams rather than two .

I'm probably being a moron...

Hopefully they fix the shooting your own ship when shooting at things bug. Really annoying.

~~If that upgrade is for the Photon Cannon it's because you already have 3 upgrades. Any more and they don't work.~~

edit: I'm talking rubbish as the Photon Cannon isn't an upgrade. You dont have any upgrades already installed in the tech bit do you? might be conflicting?

One of the many things I hate about the game is the shockingly bad inventory and general menus. Navigating is so poor, with no guidance given, why doesn't it auto stack for example?

Why doesn't what auto stack ?

When you create items they do not stack. Plate metal for example when created just fills another slot, have to stack them manually.

Unless there is an option I am missing.

If you go to create them in a new slot yeah, if you have the mats and one of the items anyway you can hover over that one and there's an option to create more on top of that one provided they are stackable

Ok cool, will give it a go.

I did not realise that if you choose "play the game" people can join your session...

Yeah I think it says it when you select it. I've always found it odd that their idea of single player is pretty much multiplayer without starting in a lobby lol

If you would prefer to play alone, you can turn network play off in the options under network and voice or similar. I think it needs a restart to take effect though.

@suenstar OK cool, add me up digitalxak

Added you on Steam this morning in preparation for joining the game later today. In case you have other requests pending, it should be a request from "Surren" (with a picture of a mechanical scorpion).

Encountered my first other player yesterday. He just decided to follow me round trying to shoot me. Got him on the run by hopping back in my ship and letting rip with the phase beam. Got bored after a few minutes of him hiding in a cave, so I just naffed off and left him.

So, that was fun...

SixTwoSix · 1 Aug 2018 at 09:54

So does this have proper multiplayer now then? You can help/hinder other players?

Digital X · 1 Aug 2018 at 09:56

Yep. Proper multiplayer. No funny orbs etc.

Fly ships, trade goods, battle together etc.

If you had killed him, do you get to loot his stuff?

Not sure. I'm on Creative game, and afaik you can't die! Assume he would be as well, so it could've been an eternal shootout! He was just bugging me while exploring a rich planet, so I'll head back there at a later date...

Really need to get a headset so I can talk to 'em...

Yep, a few of us met up one night not long after the update dropped and it has potential to be the game it should have been in the first place.
