Power of Three: S.H.E.P.I.D. not working


Windows


Steam

What is your game version?
1008 298

What DLC do you have installed?
Green Planet

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Despite having researched SHEPID and having all my buildings in range of (autonomous) sensor towers, cubes keep spawning inside of buildings.

They already destroyed a Mohole, a drone hub and even a sensor tower. That's really frusttrating so I hope it gets fixed soon.

The bug happened yesterday and today, on both the previous and newest versions of the game (1008 298). I play without mods. I only have a bunch of game rules turned on (see attached savegame)

I tried turning sensor towers off and on again to no avail.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes, just keep playing with my save game and wait for it. It's rare but once in a while it does happen. I play on max speed most of the time, maybe that makes a difference.

@Nova_398

Thank you for your report, I have tried to replicate this issue with hotfix 4 with your saves and so far I have not seen the black cubes spawn inside of any buildings or domes. All of the black cubes I have seen in your save, stay on the outskirts of the sensor towers.

I will continue to try and replicate the issue, if you do manage to replicate the issue, please add more details if possible.

Thanks,
Mark

Thank you for investigating this issue.

I found a way to replicate the issue:
1. I loaded the savegame "savegame 1 or 2 sols before cube destroys mohole.sav" (original name "Autosave Sol 371.savegame.sav"). You may find it attached to the original bug report since I can't attach savegames to replies.

2. I waited, trying to perform as little actions as possible. All I did was:
- Pin the Mohole and sensor tower that were destroyed the other times when continuing from this point in the game to the toolbar so I notice when they're gone
- Fix a pipe leak
- Look at sensor towers (without changing any settings)
- look around the map to see if anything got destroyed
- wait until afternoon on sol 371

3. Result: This time, the carbonate processor was destroyed while it clearly was in range of a sensor tower (see screenshot attached to this reply)

Thank you for the extra information and the earlier save, I can see the black cubes appear either next to the dome that has the MoHole, or they appear next to any of the Atomic Accumulators, so far though I have not seen them explode and destroy buildings, they change into stackable blocks which the drones then take away.

I will report this for further investigation.

Cheers
