[2.0.47] space platform stuck deconstructing if deconstruction+blueprint paste caused a hole

Post by tycoon »

No crash, possible to unblock yourself if you know how. More of an inconvenience.

When rebuilding spaceships in orbit I got stuck when the spaceplatform had enough foundation to expand in one section, but somehow didn't do that because there was an inner gap that it couldn't finish deconstruction. It looked to me like the "hole" in the ship was caused by me deconstructing the right half of the ship, and then placing a blueprint over it before it was able to remove all the foundation. Once I filled the hole, the space platform was able to clear the section that got stuck due to the hole.

See video in attachment.

Just noticed when you delete the bottom part of the ship (i.e. below the hub), there's a line of missing tiles that I did not intend to be there (not sure if that was my fault or something odd happened during blueprint placement).

Tried it again, and the line of missing tiles appears when the placement of space foundation stops underneath the pasted section in order to not created a hole in the ship.

Thanks for the report however I don't believe anything will be done about this. It has a player solution, and trying to implement a programmatic solution would add a crazy amount of complexity to the game logic that just isn't worth it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
