Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The game has reached the stage where player has already researched the technology to break down Mirror Spheres in the captive device into several materials. What seemed to be the last observable mirror sphere was stuck in a single location and not moving for many sols. As such, player is unable to proceed with the mission due to the fact that mirror sphere needs to move in order to be captured.

This bug breaks the game flow in this specific scenario.

Can you replicate the issue?
Not yet tried. But it takes a hundred to two hundred to reach that point.

All the savegames are the same. I tried 4 times because the bug report form did not indicate successful upload nor display any UI notification indicating a successful upload. (Yeah, that's probably a bug by itself but not game related.)

I have the exact same problem. I have built eight of the capture devices below and around the last sphere and nothing. It just sits there spitting out an eternal winter. I wish I knew of this bug before sinking ten hours into this map I would have tried to avoid that mystery bug.

Same here. I have four of them just sitting there.

Can confirm, this is occurring for me as well. Last orb is uninterested in moving, resulting in endless winter.

Honestly, this was an extremely un-fun mystery to begin with; it has too many problems to name, but this one takes the cake.

Thank you all for the reports, we will look into this and hopefully find out exactly what is going wrong. In the meantime, try the following: turn off the building(s) directly below the stuck Sphere(s); this should cause it to lose its target and start moving again. Let us know if this workaround had any effect for you.

Hello there,

I ran the same bug.
The stuck Sphere can move again if I release it (by desactivating the decoy building)
The problem is that I cant catch it. I think that this sphere is link with a stuck decoy.
This building cathed an other sphere and after I transform it into metal the ray were still here (watch attached image).
What can I do now ? I tried to recatch the sphere and to reload an old savestate.

 

[Gohu0]

It's OK, after 3 attempts the sphere is cathed \o/
The ray bug was still there.

Thank you

I could get the Sphere unstuck by building a Power Accumulator under it to charge it for mitosis.
After that the new sphere went right for the trap. The one originally stuck was wandering a bit, but then went for the trap as well.

In an unlucky situation a Sphere was stuck in the corner of the map for me, making it impossible to finish the mystery.
It was also outside of vision, I could only see it because I pinned it earlier so I could just double-click.
I reloaded and could avoid the situation by preparing a trap before it went for the corner.
