Modules Bug Megathread

[viral saddle]

Most strats rely on beacons. Beacons are super busted.

Find Waldo is nothing compared to "Find the unrepairable module"

[pine anvil]

I’ve got one now where 2 purple and one blue beacon r in my storage but everytime I try to equip them I get “an error occurred”

[vocal tundra]

take them out, do another fight and then you can put them back in, so PVE fight is suggested

[pine anvil]

Thanks! I was able to fix it eventually but it was massively annoying

[royal egret]

I was able to remove my broken module after doing a force restart

[vocal berry]

Sorry if this has already been answered. I'm returning after a long hiatus and I'm encountering a broken module at start of battle bug. I can see others have also had this problem over the last 2 months. Is there a fix or workaround? I've tried to remove and replace and restart but no luck

[spare yarrow]

I am unable to place certain modules. Also, one small beacon has disappeared.

[copper acorn]

Hello!
After changing layouts a lot of my modules have disappeared.
All the broken modules from this screenshot are no more.
Please give me back my mines and planter boxes.
Thank you!

I am using an Android phone, Nokia 3.4

[earnest solar]

If they cant track down and fix this bug they need to just make modules not break/be destructible in the first place... seriously this thread was started over a year ago.

And them being able to be destroyed just is not a necessary component to the game.

[jolly wharf]

modules bug has been an issue since 2020 and has also appeared in PSS2 🙁 it's apparently a pretty tough one to squash.

[earnest solar]

Also to clarify: It is necessary for them to be destroyed on a per-battle basis ( like hp modules) but it is not needed at all for repairing them outside of battle to be a thing.

[random pulsar]

So any updates on if they are finally going to fix this? I keep getting the glitch at least twice a week now

[civic gazelle]

Clearing our runway so we can get work back on this again soon

can't discount the possibility of a total refactor

[edgy flame]

I know this issue is old, but after being destroyed, 2 of my concrete barriers gave an error on a repair attempt, then after I removed them to the inventory they didn't show up in UI. I restarted the game but they didn't come back. I would appreciate having my modules back if possible. version: v0.999.45.15545 running on Steam Windows 10

[somber marlin]

me same steam

lost 2 big recall

[upbeat tree]

Currently having 5 beacons unusable

And impossible to remove

[ocean badge]

remove the room, sometimes and reload the game... three is a charm

[upbeat tree]

Doesn't work

It restart the game, and pouf, the room reapeared

(with the broken module of course)

[ocean badge]

I removed mine doing something like that 3 times... I tried change the module to another room, remove the room, fix manually..

fix manually, them restart, them remove... and some variations of this. them worked (in some point)...

[upbeat tree]

Lol

Thanks, i'll try that

[river hearth]

Like, make the modules only break during battle and require no repair after the battle?!

[gilded plover]

they should start by making them not take damage from battle to battle until they fully fix it

[civic gazelle]

something as major as this, but likely keeping the minerals sink (though negligible as it is) for design approval

[earnest solar]

Fixing it so it works correctly would be 100% acceptable, but this bug thread is over a year old and effects everyone of us on a weekly basis. Just remove the repair feature until you know how to fix it. As it is currently it is extremely annoying to your players and brings no benefit really, the costs are negligible as you said.

While you're at it do the same thing to the reload queues, they don't work correctly.

A static after battle tax would be fine.

Added benefit: less stress on the server I would imagine not having to count each thing individually as it rearms or repairs?

Also semi related: make the planetary rewards in fleet wars just reset every day at daily reset instead of tracking each reward timer individually for each player. So much bloat in tracking timers on a per person basis, not to mention also annoying for the players.

[fathom minnow]

What if it just auto repaired them after battles, taking the minerals and if you do not have enough it can go to the button so once you do have enough you can repair it

Because realistically at a higher level you never don’t have enough mins to repair them however if a certain few beacons of mine at the start of the battle are broken all of my ai breaks and it essentially guarantees a loss on my end

[civic gazelle]

would need to let our server admin review possible system changes from a data sync PoV

[fathom minnow]

No problem

[ashen geyser]

It basically does whatever that is between engagement battles, but I understand that may be implemented differently

[slate skiff]

Cant just make it a research or something? Instead of pressing the refuel/repair all button it does it automatically but just for modules? Make it like Ammo Recycling?

[vocal tundra]

Can we pre-pay all the minerals to fix this?

[timber socket]

Until you need to pay for a 5m mineral room upgrade

[gloomy drum]

Can we just have a 20% minerals tax on attacks and get rid of this mechanic? A 20% mineral tax will sink way more mins then this and we no longer have to deal with this bug that exist for years

[timber socket]

Also fixes the max storage issues

[random pulsar]

Legit perfect idea mate

[surreal vector]

I have lost two concrete barriers over the last couple of days. It starts when there is one module in need of repair every time you log in. To fix this issue in the past I have just removed the module from the room and then placed it back and the issue is resolved.
Only now when I have removed these modules they disappear completely. As mentioned im on two lost concrete barriers so far because of this bug.

[civic gazelle]

losing these shouldnt be possible unless they were duplicated via the previous bug

will get this checked as soon as possible

[ashen geyser]

Idk if this will help, but I noticed a pattern where module bugs happen significantly more often around LLPVP battles.

[surreal vector]

I’m not sure why or how. I just know the first one I kinda second guessed myself. But the second one I dragged the broken module out of the room and it never appeared in inventory. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’ll be way more cautious in the future that’s for sure. It takes too long to make barriers to just be flippantly losing them.

[hushed bramble]

Normally there would already be a fixed module in your inventory. The broken one on your ship would be a non functional duplicate. Could that have been the case here?

[surreal vector]

No. I had inventory open at the time watching. There was zero good barriers available. I dragged the busted one out of a pla laser room and it didn’t appear in inventory either as repaired or in need of repair. Simply vanished. I had done the same the day before and kinda second guessed myself that’s why I had inventory open the second time.
I Havnt had this repair bug for ages until I changed hulls recently and it started happening again. I’ve never had them just disappear before until this time.

[hushed bramble]

It wouldnt appear at that point. It could be, that you put the good barrier somewhere else. And when you removed the duplicate, the real one was in another room already.
Alternatively its just bugged and you hopefully will get it back

[surreal vector]

It’s definitely hard to prove. I’ll wait for a response and go from there I guess. Reading back there are people who have had the same issue so hopefully im not going crazy and it gets resolved.

[copper acorn]

I had the same issue with barriers and mines. Just lost them and Savy never sent them back to me

That is why I don't change room modules on my ship. Getting them takes too long and losing them is too easy

A week ago I made a new ship layout and then I loaded my old one. Upon loading I had missing modules that were not on the ship or in the inventory. It was the same hull 11 ship for both layouts

[proven pagoda]

Closing my old modules thread since we have the mega thread here.

[ocean badge]

send to megathead is like > /dev/null

[proven pagoda]

@jovial sail

As you can see, some modules are already broken at start like beacons and Plant boxes

[fathom minnow]

@proven pagoda try removing them

[proven pagoda]

but they were fully repaired before fight

[fathom minnow]

then re applying

[proven pagoda]

You wanna know what's funny. I have done that. Then it moves to a different room where the bugs occur. I've swapped them out for similar ones and then it'll effect a different room.

[fathom minnow]

yeah i've been having the issue too

Like i've just done a battle and I'm certain this little beacon has been used

so i remove it and it gives me this

reloads the game

then lets me repair everything

[proven pagoda]

we are brother's in bugs

[fathom minnow]

no bugs means no fun

[proven pagoda]

we haven't pumped savy with enough cash to make the bugs go away. quick get out your wallets.

[fathom minnow]

More money less problems

[crystal flax]

@civic gazelle

neve get fix

[fathom minnow]

Please don’t ping devs

It’s an ongoing issue hence the thread remaining open

[crystal flax]

ok

i fron brasil my ingles is 50%

[fathom minnow]

No problem, If you need me to use a translator let me know

[cunning quiver]

Ese problema ainda existe mano,porém dá para resolver simplesmente tirando os módulos defeituoso da tua nave e deixando eles no teu inventário,logo tu reinicias o jogo(só sair e voltar a entrar)e o bug já debería estar resolvido,e só colocar os módulos de volta na suas salas respectivas.

(translation to English: This problem still exists, man, but it can be solved simply by removing the defective modules from your ship and placing them in your inventory. Then, restart the game (just exit and log back in), and the bug should be fixed. Just put the modules back in their respective rooms.)

[crystal flax]

TY ALL FIX

[copper acorn]

I tried that and it sent my sandbags to the void.

My solution to this is to move unused modules to rooms like bedrooms

That way I can swap my modules around without them being lost

[proven pagoda]

Still experiencing consistent destroyed recall beacons and 4+HP Barriers before start. Shows on both attacks on defenses.

[jolly wharf]

Stop buying your modules from Space Temu

[proven pagoda]

Wouldn't you pay 250 bux for 4hp barricades as well?

[light hare]

repaired, reset game, re open the game, this been going on for days, this lowkey gamebreaking when my opp has all their modules up

[fathom minnow]

you have to remove the module and re place

(the broken module)

[light hare]

it crashes the game, then stays destroyed

[fathom minnow]

repair all modules

restart game

remove destroyed modules and replace with appropriate

[light hare]

so much manuel labor

[fathom minnow]

such is life

[light hare]

ah its a gamble no less

[random pulsar]

I just had 40000 minerals worth of modules perma break on my ship. I removed them, removed the rooms and they still appear as full health in my inventory, but when I try to put the modules back on my ship my game crashes.

[fathom minnow]

#in-game-support

[elfin fractal]

I had this too. I had to remove the room the modules were in.

Some amount of restarting eventually led to the modules being usable again.

This bug is a big enough issue that they just need to remove the concept of them needing to be repaired

The idea that they might lose some money or something bc we don't have to repair modules is ludicrous

[slate skiff]

Not having to repair all modules between defensive battles would be appreciated anyway, to be honest.

[hybrid frost]

Can you please check if it still happens to you?

[hybrid frost]

Please try again and let me know if this issue still happens to you.

[ashen acorn]

is there a bug where if you try to move a module around it crashes the game? apparently the module isnt fixed on the server but it looks fixed on my client

[hybrid frost]

Can you try again to see if you still experience this issue please?

[fathom minnow]

@hybrid frost I can confirm the issue, after doing a battle it shows everything is repaired (when it isnt) then if you go to move (or pick up) the module it says "an error has occured" and it restarts your game

[hybrid frost]

What is your username? I can work on your account and it would be helpful if you can confirm if it works for you. There will be an update for this fix soon.

[fathom minnow]

Kafka

I'll also record next time it happens

[hybrid frost]

Thank you. I am checking now

[fathom minnow]

Do you need me off the account?

[hybrid frost]

would be helpful if you can please

[fathom minnow]

No worries

[hybrid frost]

Can you try again please?

[fathom minnow]

I can't necessarily try to do it, it occurs randomly after an attack

but i'll do attacks to try trigger it

[hybrid frost]

like to move modules as you mentioned above

[fathom minnow]

Yeah the issue is it only does that crash/restart issue when the post attack bug is happening

But I will try trigger it and let you know what happens

[hybrid frost]

so in the next update, when users rearm / repair modules, it should fix this issue.

[fathom minnow]

I know I have an issue of broken modules every time i relog i can check that now for you?

[hybrid frost]

yes please if you can

[fathom minnow]

alright just finishing a battle

[fathom minnow]

seems i dont have it on my kafka account

checking a different account

on L´ z it is still occuring

[hybrid frost]

I think because your data is updated to the correct state

May I update that account data and you can try again?

[fathom minnow]

sure

[hybrid frost]

Can you give it another try please?

[fathom minnow]

Sure

[fathom minnow]

On phone now though

[hybrid frost]

did you log out before?

[fathom minnow]

I’ll force restart

Moved from laptop to phone

As I’m on my way home now

Force restarting didn’t fix it

[hybrid frost]

i checked state of this account and currently it's correct. Can you try to rearm/ repair modules ?

and see if it still shows as not repaired?

[fathom minnow]

Sure

Repair then restart I shall

Worked @hybrid frost

Didn’t re break like it does every other time

[hybrid frost]

Thank you very much @fathom minnow

[fathom minnow]

Any time, I’m from Adelaide so if you need a hand you know where to find me 😉

[hybrid frost]

Much appreciated 🙂

[fathom minnow]

Likewise

[tight pebble]

Going to log this, I had 2 beacons that appeared fixed on my ship, but would start fights broken. When I tried to remove them I got an error and rebooted. I removed the room and replaced it that they were in and placed beacons again. Haven't had an issue yet, but I never had broken modules in my inventory. Again, every match they started broken but looked healthy otherwise

[jolly wharf]

Why don’t we just make a bot that resets the modules via a discord command

[ocean badge]

Maybe the Vikings already have that... Who knows, maybe we already do…

[hybrid frost]

If you have module issues, please try to rearm. If the problem still remains, please let me know. Thank you guys.

[fathom minnow]

Thanks mit!

[ocean badge]

is it the current maintenance a fix for module issues? amazing

[fathom minnow]

patch notes should come soon showing whats been fixed/changed

[ocean badge]

Looks like the same to me...

[hybrid frost]

did you do actual rearm?

please give it a try and let me know @ocean badge

[ocean badge]

that is very weird... I dont know if I lost these 3 bricks or if these was a desync because I open the ship now and the broken bricks dissapeared

ops.. in the first image I had 41 bricks and now only 38 ...

[hybrid frost]

I can check it for you. Client had a bug before regarding this one. So you have more number of modules placed inside rooms.

[ocean badge]

should be nice! the ship name is ひﾚｲひ丂☠️刀のﾒ (sorry about it.. I was testing the PSS naming boundaries). Player ID 11797233

[hybrid frost]

I can confirm this is case like I mentioned above. However, I already set your bricks to 41.

[ocean badge]

ty, I was using the browser as client

[fathom minnow]

@hybrid frost I've got the no re-arm bug

Then recieved error occured and crashed

[fathom minnow]

I did miss the error occurred photo though because I clicked it too fast

[hybrid frost]

Do you experience any further issue after that?

[fathom minnow]

Game restarted, all modules that were broken were then fixed once i re armed them

But from the first photo nothing looks wrong and I can go into a battle with broken modules that look functional which is my main issue with that bug

[fathom minnow]

@hybrid frost

When I remove a module I am certain is broken however doesnt look broken or show it is broken, thats the order of events

[hybrid frost]

Is it after you rearm?

[fathom minnow]

No

first image is directly after a battle

Shows i have nothing broken (despite me absolutley having something broken)

so I remove something i know it broken however is not displaying it being broken, so it restarts the game then shows me the re-arm button and broken modules

if you need more info let me know

[fathom minnow]

then there is this one too

and again

[civic gazelle]

is this only happening to kafka now 😂

[fathom minnow]

Happened 4 times that day but probably not, I just be the one reporting it x)

[fathom minnow]

And again

And again

Back to back to back to back

[shy bronze]

[ashen geyser]

I’ve noticed it basically happens only in LLPVP for me, if it ever does happen.

[fathom minnow]

Same

But then again all of my accs are in llpvp so I dont have a dif way to test

[ashen geyser]

Suffering from success

[fathom minnow]

Cool saying

[vocal tundra]

in order for the modules to bug out, they need to break. thats why beacons that get used up are the most common ones. thats why sprinklers don't get bugged, etc

[fathom minnow]

yeah, and I have 1 single use beacon I use every single game that i know is broken after a game

[jolly wharf]

Just remove module rearm

[fathom minnow]

@civic gazelle have you considered just doing that

Removing module re arm

[timber socket]

It's been at least 2 years of us asking for it... Feels like such an obvious fix

[civic gazelle]

Am close to giving a sweeping ultimatum on this as its not acceptable for players to keep having this issue

[fathom minnow]

Had it again today

[civic gazelle]

burns all modules to the ground

[fathom minnow]

NOOO

[civic gazelle]

Yeah, I keep getting told thats not necessary but here we are

[fathom minnow]

Do it

Pull the trigger

End the suffering of thousands of people

[timber socket]

I think you mean 11 million

[fathom minnow]

Many people dont have modules at the lower levels

[ashen geyser]

Our savior

[hearty rover]

Insist on the ultimatum, cause GA fire still perma destroys my modules and I need to remove them when I notice ~

[round valley]

I’ve weirdly never had this issue outside of 2 battles on mac

[rich nymph]

That‘s not necessary? to such a bug?

Anyways I had the problem with 2 beacons again and fixed it myself but not knowing that during tourney or something is just annoying

[civic gazelle]

Happy to report work is being finalized on an entirely new system for how this data is stored and accessed by the game

[fathom minnow]

Yipee
