🪲 Known Bugs
There is a bug that makes finishing the introbase impossible(hotfix on the way) FIXEDthere may be issues with water or electricity desynchronisation between players in multiplayer in rare cases, especially on grid
rare cases of disconnect for clients when host loses connection while playing or with joining/rejoining of clients
player can’t disconnect if host doesn’t accept invitation in public game
We are planning to fix those issues in the next hotfixes. The standard solution for the most bugs is to save your progress and restart the game. In coop mode the whole team should restart the game. Verifying game files also usually helps with many problems. Check if you have any mods - probably just after update it may not work properly.
In case the problem is not listed here, please report it via in-game F4 reporter (leaving contact so we can reach you in case of need) or send save and log, with the description of the problem to:
Stay tuned for the next news and the release.
As always, thank you for your incredible feedback, reports, and support! ❤️
See you on Mars!
