[4.10] Resource probes shift on the Z axis of the map

Post by Rigel Nova » Thu, 4. Nov 21, 16:13

Sometimes when I put a resource probe in an asteroid field at about the normal Z = 0 level when I come back to the map shortly after, some probes (not all) shift on their own on the Z axis by random way.

Happens if something knocks them with a lot of momentum when in high attention, such as a ship in travel mode. They drift as a result and can end up even flying thousands of kilometres depending how the physics work out.

I would not mind seeing deployables like resource probes have little engines in them that slowly correct their position should they be displaced too much.

Thanks. This is very boring anyway.

ok I just put a probe resource and 2 minutes later I noticed that it was already starting at 3000km from where I had put it. I was able to see in live, so that in fact, it was moving on its own. 2mn later it was 4500km. To this day it continues to go to the depths of the map. I don't know if my resource probe will stop one day ^^

Also see this thread which is about nav beacons but might be for similar reasons.

Ok in fact they do not move only on the z axis but also the other axes. I have one for example which has moved up to 60,000km diagonally, which completely breaks the map.
