on removal of any container its content gets spawned in an offset direction instead of the place where the container was originally placed. might be in context with the wrong drop spawn on player death fix.
i did set this to high because someone loosing on accident a big part of his survival game progress
is likely very unhappy. see also T101
to reproduce use supplied station and after filling the containers remove them to see where they drop the content
Containers now drop there content again where they get removed
but this seems to be connected to the fix for dropping inventory on death
because that is now again offset ... credits drop at place of death but items do not
Containers now drop there content again where they get removed
This was perhaps the case before, but now they all drop their contents right next to/on the nav marker, no matter where the chest is placed.
For some reason the commit I made was wiped, should hopefully be in the next dev build.
OK fixed ... drops content at the proper place ... and drop on death is also good, checked that too
sadly this happens in a specific limited way still on planets
How i did reproduce it
found by spunkie
just tested in singleplayer on all 12 planet sides and had no issues with large offset drops to the planet core.
procedure
1 place 6 storage blocks 1 block away from all other blocks
2 place 1 block in the upper left most slot in all storage blocks
3 removed 3 of the chests using build mode and 3 using astronaut mode
repeat for all 12 sides of planet
all tests resulted with items dropping no further than half a block from storage block position
so i guess the bug is gone until it isn't. *shrugs*
Can this be re-tested? It's possible that the fix I pushed did not get into the build that was used when this was considered unfixed.
problem is with this bug when i was showing it to smilingdemon on the test server it wouldn't always happen but once it did it would be reproducible several times and on other plates on same planet it wouldn't happen so it might take a while to get it to occur.
-QA Testing-?
ok as far as spawning in an offset location from the containers original position this no longer happens
-storage blocks drop contents at their location when the block is removed in build or astronaut mode
-factories seem to take their inventory with them when removed and if you place another factory or a storage block in its place that block will have the previous factory's inventory in it
Right, noticed that factory thing too, but was not sure If I was confusing something and removed/replaced a different block.
Looks like factories do not eject contents at all when being removed.
Okay, it appears that factory inventories were not being removed at all since the shipyard update. This should be fixed now. If there are any other recent issues about factory inventories not working correctly they are likely fixed as well.
