Actions

Description

#1
If you open up adv build mode and press number 3 key while there is no power blocks the game will hang with no error
Steps to reproduce this affect for testers:
1 Press Ctrl to open adv build mode while in a core with no other blocks
2 while that is open press number pad 3 key and the game should hang with no error in the log files or a pop up

#2
Info from #1664

There is a bug that freezes the game, when you enter a new ship block that has nothing built around it. In build view, if you press numpad 8, or numpad 6, game freezes. I have reported this bug quite some time ago and never had any feedback on it. This bug appeared after you introduced in the game the "hardwired" numpad functions to highlight groups of blocks of a certain type (I don't remember the version number at that time). The problem is, for left handed players that use the numpad for moving around instead of the standard WASD, when you try to move around your new ship block to build around it, there is no way to move forward or the game freezes... (considering your "move forward" key is numpad 8 like me) If you have some blocks built around the ship, no problem. I think when you press the numpad 8 key, the game tries to find a group of blocks to highlight but there is no block and the game gets stuck in an infinite loop looking for the next group of blocks, or something like that.

If you guys could remove those "hardwired" keyboard functions and put everything in the keymapper, I'm sure it would solve the problem as those keys could be remapped somewhere else.

Many debug functions are on the numpad keys, causing unexpected game behaviour and crashes when the player relocates regular game keys to it.

I was unable to reproduce this. Pressing the num pad keys while in build mode with only a core block had no effect on my client.
