Not a bug Unable to place water extractor

Game version 3376 (1.5)


Image shows it. No matter where I try to place it, it just won't let me because the extractor doesn't recognize it's in the water.

 

Maybe you are "Connected to base"?

 

It never worked this way.

 

That's why I was asking...

 

Eventually try this -
Clean Cache ->
D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Cache
verify by STEAM->
Right click Game Empyrion/Properties/Local Files/Verify Integrity of Game Files

Otherwise you may add the Game Client and eventually upload a save game If its too large than to a Cloud like Google Drive
And use the appropriate Template

If you have "connect to base" enabled in the build menu it won't let you place any terrain placeables.

 

Although the water was far from where I had my base set up, having that option on may have happened since I know I had it on earlier. What I wonder is why the game just didn't say so? We could use some QoL messaging. How could I have known that was the issue? Well the issue is resolved when I loaded up the game, thanks.

 

True. Why don't you make a proper bug report? Maybe it should not be like it is now and the player should have a warning of some kind.
