#Stuck in atrium pipes and cannot move/get out.

Hey there, I started a new game and stupidly saved to one slot. In the starting hanger, adjacent to the starting room is an atrium with two pipes overhead and a platform with some batteries to pick up. After some time crafting and building and going back to the starting area to scrap more junk, I noticed the area and used the tourquoise cabinets to clamber up to this position to collect the batteries there. If you land between the pipes and adjacent to the platform, you get stuck and cannot move from the position nor jump back down. Nothing I do frees me from this perch (crouching, jumping or moving does nothing. You are imprisoned to become another caretaker robot who sees his energy dwindle to nothing. Since it's my only save, I cannot go back to an earlier one. I attempted to quit out of the game and come back in, but found that it saved my position to that spot. Is there any way to free myself (other than let my energy run out)? Surely this spot needs to be reexamined to prevent this to new players.

I also reported this through the feedback option in game and included my save there. I wanted a quicker response, so I'm posting here. Thanks for any help (I will also gladly post the save here, if someone can give me instructions on how to do so).

Try this @ancient depot . "Recovering Auto-Saves" from here: #troubleshooting message

#

use this to revert to an older autosave and get yourself away from that predicament

Wasn't there also a way with adding "-ea" to the startup options of the game in steam to allow you to reposition yourself ?

Ah dang. I just renamed the newest save to an older one from yesterday. Oh well, if it happens again I'll try the -ea solution. Thanks all!

#

Yeah, I'll just revert to yesterday's save. Just tried it and that was successful. Still, that spot in the beginning needs to be looked at. It's really easy to get stuck up there (this is my third restart of the game to test all the new features from the latest patch. I'm quite familiar with solutions to other problems, but thought I'd highlight this particular one).

open steam, go to your game in the libary and add -ea tho the startoption.
start game on the save you want and than go to pause menu, there you find the Point "Early Acces", click it and you can manually relocate your boat and your caretaker

Hey @ancient depot I'm trying to reproduce this issue without having much luck. Could you give more details or maybe a video of it's happening so I can create a ticket for our LD guys. Thanks in advance. Never mind I managed to repro it 🙂
