Issues unresolved

Unless otherwise stated, the developers are aware of the following issues.

Falling through terrain

This issue manifests itself through a wide variety of methods, such as getting pushed by ground vehicles, drilling, and so forth.
The developers are asking for community assistance in diagnosing the problem.[1]

Thermida error messages

The game uses Thermida anti-hacking software. This can cause the game to crash, generating Thermida-specific error messages.
The developers are asking for community assistance in diagnosing the problem.[2]

Game freezes on startup

Alt+Tab ↹ to desktop[citation needed]
  1. Press Alt+Tab ↹ until you return to the desktop.
  2. Left-click on the Empyrion icon on the taskbar.

Cannot place new block on ground vehicle after removing old block

Occasionally after removing a block from a ground vehicle, attempting to add a new block to the same ground vehicle will fail.[3]
Restart the game[4]

Caught inside metal trussing of Capital Vessel

When building a Capital Vessel in space with an interior, it is possible to get caught in any metal trussing you place.[5]

Duplicate work lights by holding down left mouse button

When a single portable work light is in your selection bar, holding down the left mouse button will duplicate the light until it is released.[6]

Creatures spawn on top of generators

Water and air generators, if their tops emerge above sea level, become valid spawn points for creatures.[7]

Alien turrets cannot be used by the player

If the player captures a base with alien turrets, the turrets will become unusable.[8]

Constructors continue to use fuel after first use

Once a constructor has been used for the first time, it will continue to consume fuel, even when turned off.[9]

Thrusters do not provide thrust in correct direction

Thrusters do not provide thrust in the direction they are pointed in (i.e. forwards thrusters may provide reverse thrust, etc.)[10]

Issues fixed

Save game(s) disappear

When you change your character's name, save games associated with the previous name are not migrated to allow multiple users to play using the same account.
Rename saves[11]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Saves\Players\
  2. Find a file with the .ply extension which has your old player name (likely Player).
  3. Rename the file to replace the old player name with your new player name.
