I have been modifying a starter base published by an expert builder and have run into a rare problem with one of the LCD projectors and its display on a block. I'm in Creative mode. I'm in the hangar of the structure standing in front of the first of 3 constructors on the left. Above it there is a LCD display that should show in written text that it's the 1st construction unit of the 3. The 2 other constructors on the right also have an LCD and it displays correctly (see link below, 2nd scrolling image.) If I now go in God mode, the missing text will appear, if I switch off God mode it disappears again. Same when using the jetpack and going a bit higher, it appears and then disappears when switching off the jetpack. The 2 other constructor displays stay always correct. What's the cause of this? I have checked the concerned LCD projector, and also all the motion sensors, they are all ok with the right signal logic. I also have spawned separately the original build of the structure and this issue doesn't happen, all projector setups, all motion sensors and their set red signal range are identical, all signal logics also identical. Here is a screenshot: It's the 2nd image in the presentation scrolling images showing the constructor on the left with missing LCD display. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3149909598 Thanks to solve this mistery for me!
No idea what causes it but I to have seen lcd projectors not showing the data that was set there. Usually I fix this by editing the projector and adding 1 space in the text, then removing, this refreshes the display.
"If I now go in God mode, the missing text will appear, if I switch off God mode it disappears again. Same when using the jetpack and going a bit higher, it appears and then disappears when switching off the jetpack. The 2 other constructor displays stay always correct." several patches ago, it was added that god mode disables certain visual and other optimizations. probably what you are seeing with gm on gm off at various angles and distances.
Thank you for your help, I will take a look at it. I think it must be some formatting thing that is not saved with the blueprint or such.
Thanks for this indication. So this 'effect' with the godmode may not be directly related to the projector not showing the text.
