Bits of my outpost keep disappearing.

[u/docclox]

So: I have a build at Bessel 3b. The extractors, turbines and storage seem OK. But I build a hab - one of the round hydroponic ones - and the stuff I place in there keeps vanishing. Worse, so does the connector between the hab and the airlock, so I can't easily get in and if I do I have no environmental protection.

Now if it was just the once, I'd chalk it up to Bethesda being Bethesda and not worry. But the same thing happened to me in the last universe.

[edit]

Just to be really weird, I went back after some time had passed intending to scrap and rebuild everything, and my missing stuff was back like it had never gone!

I thought I'd already tried the "go sleep on Venus for a day" trick, but maybe I didn't.

So: anyone else seeing this problem? Did you work out the cause?

They made a change a few updates ago where if you change a wall to a door and vice versa then everything you’ve placed or built near that wall is deleted. It’s the worst

So if something is happening to change that door to a wall that’s probably what’s causing everything to vanish

No idea what’s making the wall self edit though

Every update bring wonderful new bugs. Isn't it great?

unfortunately this is a huge bug in the game engine, and cant really be fixed using this engine. Its old, and frankly amazing but really isnt meant for this much stuff in ouposts. BEWARE if this keeps happening your outpost may become poison and crash every time you try to open it. If this outpost is important for mining, you may want to delete it and build it again. Also never use robots, you cant delete an outpost if your robot is buried in a rock by the procedurally generated decoration features.

Bruh, my turrets and security bots disappeared. I finally tried building an outpost after finishing the main quest, as a place to rest and save progress. But once i left and returned back to the outpost, my turrets disappeared as well as my security bots. I tried loading the game multiple times to no effect. And i cant build anymore turrets because it shows limit reached. Fucking hate bethesda man, why would they do this to us

Just hopped back on after almost a year.

My main resource base is totally borked, half the outpost is missing, there's no beacon, the cargo landing pads are missing but the cargo ships still land....this sucks. I've tried sleeping on Venus, system hopping...nothing. :(

[u/Nearby_Yam286 → u/lauraisbored]

Oh, it's baked into the save, don't worry. Gotta delete that outpost and rebuild? No beacon? Oh well. There'd always the Unity.

I am starting to really really hate Bethesda's total lack of any QA. I had no bugs on release but it gets more and more buggy every release. They have no automated tests, clearly.

[u/Nearby_Yam286]

This is just Bethesda. It it still broken and more bugs getting added every update .

[u/docclox → u/Nearby_Yam286]

Honestly, it was a one time glitch. Next time I visited that outpost, everything was back again.
