Thanks for the heads-up! Do you recall any other clues from when it disappeared, so we could try to reproduce the cause?

It looks like we might need to tweak the "Respawn Ship" debug button to generate OKLG even if the old one is missing. So I'll get started on that.

But if you think of anything in the meantime that can help me figure out why it's gone in the first place, hopefully we can prevent it in future games!

I've tried to remember what triggered it but unfortunately I couldnt think of anything. I departed the station as usual, went to derelict right away, and worked on the ship for 2-3 hours (real time). So no clue 😦 Sorry about that

[violet hedge]

Ok, thanks anyway! Even that info might be useful, as we can maybe narrow it down to a time-based cause. Possibly when an NPC docks with OKLG, or something.

Just asking, as I obvioulsy have no idea of the complexity of the issue. Any chance the respawn ship fix is a quick one ? (so sorry not pushing at all, I just fell in love with this playthrough so much, It pains me not to be able to continue it)

So in passing, I started your game 2 days ago, played non stop. It's now in my top 5 best game that I've ever played. Thank you so much for this you have no idea (+ add on to my comment below, I know its EA therefore this is to be expected).

[violet hedge]

Oh wow, thank you for the kind words!

The fix might be easy once we can find the cause, but I don't have any leads on that yet.

We can probably get the debug Respawn Ship to replace it in a patch by tomorrow. But unfortunately, we probably couldn't get anything out tonight.

In the meantime, you might be able to limp by on docking with Flotilla and using their kiosks/traders, and scavenging fuel/power from derelicts until we can get an 0.12.1.9 patch out.

Sorry for the extreme technical issues 😅

[pine pecan]

1. oh please don't apologise ! Like I said I'm well aware this is EA so it's completely normal to encounter these issues 🙂 and even with bugs here and there, it's the best gaming experience I had in a while !!! nothing like it out there

2. oh wow I was not expecting such a (potential) rapid fix ! That would be terrific, but I would completely understand if you can't work on it at all due to other real priorities

3. and in the meantime, I'm up for the challenge 😎

[violet hedge]

Thanks again. It really means a lot to hear that.

It's a weird little game, and not for everyone. But there are definitely a bunch of us out there that crave this strange combo of genres 😛

[pine pecan]

I must admit, when you will deliver it fully, as per your vision. It will probably be a game I'll play for the rest of my life. Thanks again for the very quick answer, have a great evening / morning !

Just a heads-up in case you see this before my Steam forum reply:

I was able to create a new experimental build (0.12.1.9) on the public_test opt-in branch which should make the Respawn Ship button work if OKLG is already missing.

Instructions for accessing experimental builds can be found here:

I still haven't been able to figure out what makes OKLG disappear, though. I've seen a save where it is gone, but I haven't caught it in the act of disappearing yet.

Let me know if you decide to try that new build and/or discover any more clues about the missing OKLG!

[granite cobalt]

on my way to try it now !!!

[granite cobalt]

you. absolute. GENTLEMAN

it WORKS

a very small token, of my utmost gratefullness for your help, and swift, swift fix. I'll keep an eye out, be more carefull and try to gather data if it happens again.

(undocked from derelict, flew to the station, was greeted by the pop-up "its good to be back", as normal, NPCs are here, almost no lag)

[violet hedge]

Yay! Thanks for letting me know, and for the kind gesture!

Now let's see if I can fix some of those other bugs floating around. Wish me luck!

[granite cobalt]

you'll knock them out of the park 😌 keep doing what you're doing !

Hiyo, this problem happened to me too, although I am not sure 'when' it happened in game, because I had left oklg to salvage an abandoned ship. I was on that ship for nearly 7 hours in game and like 3-4 Real hours. I believe I can upload my error logs maybe that will help

[granite cobalt]

did you try the solution above ?

to switch to the open beta build, and try to respawn OKGL (by using the debug tools)

worked like a charm for me

just saw that you worked it out 🤗
