Mode: Survival Mode: Dedicated Server SERVER NAME: non-public SEED-ID: n/a MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: Yes Reproducibility: Always Severity: Major (if you like to build) Type: Tool Malfunction Summary: The color and texture tool stops responding when attempting to color/texture using your personal F5 Drone. Description: After a short time coloring and texturing via drone, the color texture tool will become unresponsive and cease working in any capacity. This is only via drone. Switching to 1st person will sometimes get the tool to work subsequently via drone, but not always. It always works properly in 1st or 3rd person without using the drone. Steps to Reproduce: Color and/or Texture on a base for a while. There is no set time or any set number of uses before it starts to malfunction. Note: The save games and logs below are the same as from this post.

I confirm this in creative mode. You cannot color and texture using the drone with any of the color and texture tools. Confirmo esto en modo creativo. No se puede colorear y dar textura usando el dron con ninguna de las herramientas de color y textura.
Did the fix for this come with the 11.1 stabilization update (11/22/2019)? I didn't read anything about it in the change notes and I'm still having problems with it. Thanks.
The fix that was in a previous build on the exp branch regressed in a build after wards. We'll have another fix done for this soon.
New (Additional info for the previously reported and closed bug) In A11.1 v2717 I noticed that the Color & Texture tool does not really work from a drone anymore. Using your personal Drone to Color & Texture blocks only works if the block face being painted/textured is within "sight/reach" of where you are standing when you bring up the drone. This means that the drone is not really allowing you to paint/texture block faces that you can "see" from the drone and does not work if you attempt to paint/texture on top or behind or paint/texture any block out of sight or out of reach from where you are standing. This is why users will get inconsistent results when trying to paint/texture blocks when using the personal drone. If the block face is within reach/sight of where you are standing then painting/texturing the block face from the drone will appear to work (as if being painted/textured from the drone). Hence this bug was either closed as not reproducible or incorrectly considered to be fixed. Painting/texturing should work when using the personal drone on any block face that the drone can "see" and not be limited to what is within sight/reach of where you are standing when the drone is started.

As markis said, if you try to paint a block using your drone, a line is traced from the player to the target point. If that lines collides with an obstacle or, even worse, with another block, that block will be painted instead. So it even has the unintended result of painting blocks somewhere else, potentially ruining your creation Note that other tools (drill, multitool) correctly trace their sights from the drone itself, allowing you to manipulate objects out of direct sight. This continues to be the case in A11.1 2723.
Not in this build just yet I'm afraid more likely will be in the next version which isn't too far away. I'll update here when I know it is in a exp or public release.
The Wall block behaves a little bit odd The screen shows the result. There are 2 thin wall blocks put to each other, when i tried to paint the upper block the lower block gets the texture and the upper stays unchanged.
A fix for this now released on the experimental branch https://empyriononline.com/threads/alpha-11-5-experimental-refinements.91665/
