Right. Spread the word.
See here:

How about Fixing the Remote Bar Bug????

Similar to here:

Disconnect notice , contributed to loss of ship

Your ship got destroyed by Drones [image] A video of such disconnect event would be needed the next time. Since you are new I restore it as one time service though. In general this is unfortunately “part” of this buggy game and we can’t help here everyone in such a way. Otherwise it would become a full time job and Eleon has no need to fix anything then

I do it once but next time it’s part of this buggy game. Otherwise that is our new full time job.

I agree. It’s might be a full-time job reading up on all of these bugs…lol

I cant keep up. =)

Thanks

Someone told me the items lost in the toolbar maybe back in the last container we connected to. I checked and my base is making more cells so I cant tell.

Its worth checking into next time this happens for anyone.

they are “supposed” to sort back into the connected container. i have suspicions it could be dropping these on the ground on disconnect if there is enough timeout lag. it’s hard to keep track of all the things we have to keep track of sometimes

the database implosion symptoms are starting to show as we are expanding our horizons again

If you are connected to a container, and have items in the virtual hotbar, they are deleted by the game on game crash, and on safe disconnect, and they may or may not be deleted on switching playfields too (they used to).

This is not a new bug. It has been around as long as the virtual hotbar has existed. It only affects multiplayer.
In single player they are correctly put back into the container.

The devs have known about this bug since day 1 of the virtual hotbar and seemingly don’t intend to fix it (they repeatedly mark the bug reports as “Not a bug”).

Unfortunately, as long as we are planning on using volume and mass on the server, it’s a bug that is going to happen all the time to players.
It just wasn’t as noticeable on the regular servers before due to the increased carry capacity of the player (we didn’t need to use the virtual hotbar to build).
