Thread: Anyone know what the DEVS will or wont REPLACE?
Hi guys I lost my pack which was full of stuff after the patch, as far as I know I have lost the follong and want to know what if anything they will replace.
Im not worried I can only laugh and move on. But heres my day of disaster.
Logged on after patch and it took 1 minute to realise my back Pack was GONE. That was enogh to know it was time for bed and all would work out ok in the morning.
Morning came so I checked for the pack and it still wasnt there so I went on with my daily chores.
First stop was the harvesters to empty and restock.
On the way I started to remmember a few of the things that were in the pack.
GONE ARE:
1 equipment Factory
3 Heavy Harvesters
2 Fussuion reacters
2 Crates of Wall Modules
2 Crates of Generater Turbines
25k in Fiber plast
20k in Reactive gas
15k in The copper type used to make the white chairs Thilliam I think.
10k In another copper type
5k In Gemstones
5k In other Gemstones
5k in Inert gas
9k In DATHOMIER HIDE
10k at least of vaiours other hides given to me for furniture and stuff including a few k in Wooley hide.
But we move on and empty the harvesters and head head back to the hall. Ok time to rebuild so lets get that factory working.
Start factory to make walls andit eats ore and makes nothing
ok 1 more time
Start factory to make walls and it eats ore and makes nothing
Ok lets re make another schematic and waste more ore.
Ok lets start this again
Start factory to make walls and it eats ore and Makes nothing.
Great well resources collected to day have gone to great use so far.
Ok lets just make more turbines and ore mining unites for new heavy harvesters.
Oops thats right all my reactive gas and copper was in the pack so its all gone.
Oops thats right even if I had that stuff the factory would just eat the ore and produce nothing.
Log Out.
Come and post on the board about my day so far.
Tommorrow will be a better day.
LOL only way is up from here.
I just want to know what I can kiss goodbye and what out of the stuff I can remmember I have a chance of getting back.
My backpack is gone also. I'm a master architect. I keep two backpacks. At any given time, I'm wearing one and the other one is "hanging up" in my shop. One is my "corpse run" backpack which just contains some extra survey tools (for those long survey and exploration missions) some stat food, etc.
The other one is my crafting backpack. In it you will find stacks of resources. Large stacks. All the stuff that I mine on a daily basis and use by the ton (e.g. two types of low grade ore, steel, copper) some less used stuff that I stock up on for particlar components (e.g some polymers, chemicals, gemstone, inert and reacive gases) and some rare resources needed for Master level stuff. I also have all my crafting tools except my structure and furniture tool, and my survey tools except mineral inside. Components that I need to stock up on in advance (and this is the real killer, e.g. power cores, generators, manufacturing mechanisms) and the occasional factory crate of wall modules, etc. that are left over from each production run. Oh, yes... and I keep the deeds for all the big harvesters I'm not currently using. That is, the stuff I don't mine as often... chemical extractors, gas mining installations, micro-flora farm, backup solar generators, etc. etc. Not to mention finished deeds for customers who didn't pick them up yet, currently including a medium house and a food factory.
That's the backpack that I was wearing when I logged out prior to this patch. And as you may guess, sinner that I apparently am, I was wearing a cloak. And now my pack is gone. I took off the cloak, logged out and back in. Nothing. Stripped naked and logged. Nothing. I went out and got myself killed by some pirates so I'd reclone. Nothing.
I put in a CSR ticket, but I honestly don't know what good that's going to do. Our mighty devs can't even keep track of stacks of resources if people are duping them. How on earth will that mish-mosh database be able to tell some bewildered CSR person what I had in my backpack and return everything to me?
As it stands right now I either have to:
1. Start over from scratch making the harvesters I need and re-acquiring all the resources I need to be in business.
2. Dump the rest of my stuff and move on to a less item-dependent profession that is somehow not broken or nerfed to heaven above.
3. Do what I probably should have done when they announced they were releasing this game back in beta and just walk away, fingers burned but wiser for the experience.
Yeah I sent in the ticket and no response yet either. I was also wearing the cloak. My friend also with a cloak lost his pack but no ide what was in his.
Im also master Architect but on Valcyn Server so I guess this isnt just one server issue.
Name Ishute
I'm not entirely sure but I think they will only replace what they can confirm actually existed (ie still in the database but somehow not linked to you correctly, or something in the logs). Otherwise they reimburse you credit value for the items.
There is a backpack bug now.
Some clothing are interfering with the equiped backpack.
Holo says to strip naked and log all the way out of the game and then restart the game.
Your backpack should be back.
There was lots of server lag, it took 10 minutes of me standing at my harvesters before they would appear.
I stripped naked, flew to another planet, logged off for a half hour, logged back in, and the backpack was there.
Huge PITA and horrid design job on the patch, but big relief that my stuff is back. At least for now.
Think I'll play it safe, destroy that backpack, make a new one, and transfer all my stuff over.
One note on the Factory issues. I have seen several posts stating that factories are eating materials and not producing anything. I set up my factory to make one structure module from an old schematic...and it worked. So I set it up to make 9 walls using a factoy crate of 90 structure modules and it waited then shut down doing nothing and useing nothing. I manually removed the structure modules and tried again. It made 7 walls and left 20 modules. I removed those modules (out of the metal/ore I needed to finish them as walls) and added a my other wall schematic and enough resources for 4 walls. They all came out fine. I added the resources for 2 mroe walls (to finish a Heavy Miner), and went to work this mornign. All in all I had little trouble with it.
Some things I allways do that I have seen posted before but will repost. When I make the schematic I note the order I add all the materials in. When I load the input hopper, I load exacty the right amount of components in exactly the right order. This is the first time I have had any problem with my factory (and pretty minor overall). Just restating the my experiences post-patch and some basic advice to try and help.
