Did this just change, I was minding my own buisness laying down a Chemical Extractor when I was jumped by thieves all white cons to me. I ran. Was pissed said man why didnt I take my Probot out. So for Giggles I tried, and it worked. I sicked him on the Thief that chased me and we wopped him together. Was real nice.

When did this change? I tried calling another droid too see I could have two, but couldnt. Thats still the same.

I'll check that out in an hour or so. There's a big set of updates that went in today, but there's no documentation that I could find about what the changes were (the login console messages about updates seem to lag the actual code update by a few hours for some reason).

However, I have noticed that my med-module equip droids have stopped letting me do in the field med healing anymore. That seems to have broken with yesterday's update. I have one from a master DE with lvl 5, and one of my own base MSE/lvl 1, and both now will not let me use any of the basic First Aid actions anywhere.

Oh man, if its true about the Med Modules.

We just cant win...

I think I should try my Droid Crafting station and see if that still works now anywhere.

Anybody notice that when you try to build Storage Module 2, It comes up as Data Module in the build que. But if you build a storage module 1 instead, it comes out a storage module 2.

I did bug this but it is annoying as hell.

Actually... this changed several weeks ago. I'm not sure if it is a bug or what, but as best I have been able to determine. There exists a sort of range from outside a city limits where you can't call your pets (unless in camp or near residence)... once you go beyond that range you can call droids, pets, whatever. At first, I thought it was related to my harvesters, and that it was treating them as if they were my residence. I did some testing and discounted that theory though.

Then again, I have also found myself in the middle of nowhere... not even close to any city whatsoever and unable to call them.

*shrug* ... it's kinda random but not really

droids are considered pets, and about 2 weeks ago they did an update that allows you to call pets at any time if you were not in a combat mode. so calling R2 in the wild to whip up a quick batch of stim B's is now possible.

Oh...well...3 days ago this was not possible.

So much for the update 2 weeks ago.

Now as for the recent update...no idea.

I've been able to do this for days, including my CH pets. Just wasn't gonna go squeeling on myself

This is totally random I found out later today.

Sometimes you can call them. Others you cant.

Seems alot matters if you are buy other structers. But again, sometimes it dont.

Which means its a bug.

I think the game considers the harvestors a house--it is your property that is marked as a used lot - thus you can pull your pet out there.

Just a thought!

It's definitely pretty random. I've been able to pull them out sometimes in the middle of nowhere, move a couple of hundred metres and not be able to call them. Most frustrating. Also, definitely confirmed that my med capabilities have ceased to work at all.

That may be random as well.... I just logged in. Ran about 100m from my house, where there are no structures at all. I was able to pull out my droid and then was able to heal my own wounds. If server makes a difference, I'm on Flurry... strange and unusual buggs.

I think... that maybe the bug happens because sometimes when you leave a city the server doesn't acknowledge that you left the city area or something.

That's just what I've noticed... I've tried standing a few meters outside the city boudary and calling... if it doesn't work walk into the city boudary a couple steps and back out again. Try again and you can call droids sometimes. It's got to be a bug that hasto do with the server not noting all the time that you left the city (or pet call area).
