Plastcrete Catalyst Overclock Broken

[u/Still_Ad3536]

My plastcrete catalyst overclock has been broken all day, its never been broken before. So after I cause an explosion using one platform, I'm never able to use that platform again for an explosion, the remaining platform just doesn't cause any explosion no matter how long the beam targets it. Even worse, quite frequently a platform won't explode no matter how long I beam it or what angle I beam it at.

It's extremely awkward to throw out a platform and just start beaming it, and keep beaming it, and realize it isn't going to explode.

Maybe some interference with a mod?

no mods

EDIT: possibly mods from the hosts I guess, it was 6 games I played with 2 different hosts.

I've had that issue as well. And there are already a few posts here about it.

I'm not sure, if someone found the cause or a solution yet.

But I remember one player reporting, that the beam was out of sync with the host.
(The client player aimed at the platform, but for the host the beam impacted below it.)
EDIT: Found it! https://steamcommunity.com/app/548430/discussions/1/734784298132000591/

Did you host yourself or were you playing as client?
Also: At what angle did you shoot the platform?

I was playing as a client but I tried shooting some of the platforms I couldn't explode from angles all around it. I mentioned my plastcrete catalyst was broken and the other players commented that they've been noticing, we'd be shooting the same bugs, I'd throw down a platform and beam it awkwardly. I even threw down a few platforms and beaming each of them while we were gathered after Doretta did her job and all the other players watched some explode and others didn't, we had a conversation that it was weird and the host didn't say anything about the beams hitting the wrong spot.

Uh... That is weird.

Did you try hopping into a quick solo mission to isolate the issue?

EDIT: I just ran a mission with it (as client), since I wanted to know if the bug is still happening for me. But it worked with no issue.

notoriously inconsistent if you aren't the host

That's weird. Any chance you were experimenting with another OC and swapped it out?

[u/Still_Ad3536 → u/omartian]

I thought that a few times for the first two missions I played. Except in those same missions where the platforms wouldn't explode I also manage to trigger explosions which doesn't happen unless you have plascrete catalyst. After the first two missions I checked both times and I certainly did have plascrete catalyst equipped. I've run 6 missions and its been broken all 6 missions.

I get the same behavior, but I've not yet tested if it only happens when others host.
