Damn. I haven’t been able to get my friend connected to my dedicated server. He is only able to connect to me via steam.
Perhaps someone can advice why I cannot place blocks in certain empty spaces on this CV I've salvaged. Check out this saved game. In it I'm trying to place a block in the obvious hole in front of the Player Drone. Basically, along the top of the ship - over the open hangar bay - there are missing blocks in the roof in a couple of places. While restoring this ship, I've been patching various holes of course, but certain ones it simply won't let me place a block. I've tried removing surrounding blocks and rebuilding, but that doesn't help. I'm aware that this is an older, vanilla game, BP but thought it easier to share the save here as we're all running Project Eden of course. Perhaps this BP is just too old - it does contain some HV/SV Railing blocks when you recover them from this CV, but that not really a game breaker. Not an important thing of course, just thought someone who knows the inner working better than me might be able to suggest what's wrong with this BP. It's usually seen as a land-based POI - where it's a BA of course - so perhaps it was never intended to spawn as a potentially operational CV? Anyway, really keen to get this ship restored as it was one of my favourite POI to excavate, but I want to to fly...and look whole lol. Scoob.
I believe you are talking about the HAKON CV? Those invisible Blocks are there since a long time. I made ages ago a bug report about those invisible Block - "Blockers". The Devs stated that will be fixed. So eventually it WAS fixed and Pandorra's Box has been now reopened by newly implemented stuff OR it was not fixed at all.
Yes, that's the one. Perhaps there's more than one version of that BP, the older broken one and a newer updated version? Maybe either might be picked at playfield generation stage? As this is just a BP, are there tools available in Creative Mode that might fix it? Was this always an Eleon BP, or was it possibly user submitted - I know lots of talented content creators have had their designed added to the game. Scoob.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=673855055&searchtext=Hakon The Creator added notes to the upgrade phases here in the description Update 15.06.2016 The vessel were entirely upgraded to hardened steel, have been added one RCS and one extra generator. Update 23.10.2016 Now hangar has ramps for HV, balanced light intensity, were added LCD screens and some new decors. Update 09.06.2017 Added ventilators, repair station, armor locker and other minor stuff. Strengthened all exterior windows.
Managed to get a dedicated server running on my pc and run the game from it too. My friend could only connect if I launched it via steam. All working great now.
Dead planet start, large. Discovered 1/4 th of it, enough for a SV with shields and weapons. Went to the moon and took over all POIs. The Drone base for last, used 300 of 130 MSL since had shields. Become friendly with Polaris and Talons. Put down some autominers. Back to space and to the Trading station for some business. Mined a Pentaxid asteroid on the way. Found a special Alien POI on an asteroid. Looted that but without taking it over, since had some warp gates. But mined out rare ores from the place, along with Pentaxid and Promethium that do not need to mine for a while. Took over the Drone base in space, leveled up to 25 by let all the drones pop out. Kept it as a base, nice for farms later too. Then to the small vessel and the POI with teleport to the Derelect vessel wreck, want the CV tool turret. Now back to fix one CV for multitooling the others.
I managed to take over the derelict ship albeit there might be a few more spiders in there. Nasty and sneaky they were... Issue I've had is after recoring when I sit in the captain's seat i fall outside into space. I've not yet been able to make the ship move yet either. We shall see .
Thanks. Hakon looks pretty good whole doesn't it? I don't know if the creator was the one to "wreckify" it (that's a word, honest) or if Eleon did that when they added it. However, it is a little out of date. I expect there will be pass of the numerous default BP's at some point to get them up to day. With the game still changing a lot though, I don't know if there's value in that now. Scoob.
There are CV Wrecks in the game you can get going again, just like in vanilla. It's what I did Also, that POI, I confess I've done it a few times and LOVE it, but I tend to C4 my way to the end-game and make it mine quite quickly these days Scoob.
Ah, good job! Perhaps you can answer a question for me? Do you know why any bed I place on this CV gives the "Cannot sleep when enemies nearby" message when I use it? There are no enemies as the Dead Planet has none. I've just moved my entire base into the CV - fixed up, but not as nicely as you did lol - and am ready to leave, yet I cannot sleep on my new Mobile base....I get cranky when I don't sleep... Scoob.
Oops - I meant it was me that made the damaged version. The original was by Mr. Icecat. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=673855055&searchtext=Hakon As far as the message.... hmmmm... is there a critter nearby that has spawned inbetween the blocks or is lodged somewhere? If not, probably a bug. Save with you next to the ship, then zip it up and post it to a bug report.
Ah ok, I guess you're particularly good at breaking things then...good job! I already uploaded a save here when I was having that and other issues. Considering NO critters are supposed to spawn...I don't know what's going on. Also, I've been flying around in that ship for a while now....could a spawned critter on a ship stick around in that situation? On another note, I've encountered the alien infested ship in orbit around the Snow Dwarf planet I just warped to. This ship is excellent and great fun to explore...plus it appears to actually be a ship if I'm not mistaken. Now, when @[BB]Drifter mentioned he'd encountered an infested derelict in space, I assumed he meant the vanilla one, but perhaps he meant this one and it's not a ship after all. That'd be a shame. Bloody fine ship that....but a bit of a quick win if we were able to snag it after starting on the Snow Dwarf... Scoob.
Yep. I captured it and sitting in the Pilots seat drops me out into space as @[BB]Drifter mentioned. Just ended up stripping it for parts. It would make a very nice CV though... given some additional engines and RCS's of course Scoob.
That's what I'm planning to do at this point. Then find a nice planet to homestead on lol. Wish we could have stolen it though.
Im seeing alot of your custom POIs / rocks on servers, it appears lots of people like this scenario, maybe in time we could convince the devs to make it a vanilla scenario ? The best ones should be snapped up and kept up to date I recon. Your work never gets old but, its great stuff keep it up !
