🚩 TROUBLESHOOTING & BUG REPORTS (no longer supported)
Reforged Eden 1 is no longer being supported:
It will no longer receive any new content, bug fixes, or compatibility updates. No support is offered anymore.
I strongly recommend playing Reforged Eden 2 instead.


The below information may be out of date or no longer relevant. It is preserved for anyone who is still playing this scenario. Please do not post about any issues with the scenario as I will be unable to assist you.



Before you post:
  • Please fully read through the instructions and try the basic troubleshooting methods posted below where applicable.
  • Check if your issue has already been reported under the list of known issues, or read through some of the recent replies in this post or on the main comments section.
  • The game developers generally cannot assist with problems encountered while playing custom scenarios, and custom scenarios cannot assist with game bugs. This makes it important to first check if the problem happens in a vanilla save game so you know the proper place to report the issue.
  • The Reforged Eden workshop page is the only place I can offer support. I do not offer support on Discord or any other forum.

Troubleshooting steps:
Look over the in-game Empyriopedia in the PDA (F1 key) in case your question is answered in there.
If you're encountering an issue in the game first try some of these steps.
Not all steps will apply depending on your specific issue and where it's happening (single player, coop, or dedicated server, etc).
Many problems can be solved by doing one of the following steps. If the problem still happens after doing one step try the next step.
If you are playing single player internet access to the Steam network is required unless you have installed a local copy of the scenario.

Troubleshooting for single player:
  1. Fully exit the game back to Windows and then launch it again.

  2. If you are playing on a server then contact your server admin for assistance as it's likely to be an issue on their end. If you are playing single player then try the steps below.

  3. Verify the Reforged Eden build number shown on the loading screen or top left of the player inventory matches the latest build number shown in the Change Notes. If it does not then you are running an outdated version of the scenario and trying either of the below steps may update it for you.

  4. Validate files in Steam. Right click Empyrion in your Steam Library > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

  5. Unsubscribe and resubscribe to the scenario on the Steam Workshop.

  6. If the problem does not involve a scenario specific POI, block, or NPC then try to reproduce the problem in a vanilla save game using the same situation, game mode, and type (survival or creative, singleplayer coop or dedicated server, space or planet, etc). If the problem happens in vanilla you can report the issue on the game's bug reporting form.

  7. If none of the above has solved the problem please report the issue here.

Troubleshooting for server admins:
  1. Fully exit the game back to Windows and then launch it again.

  2. Verify the Reforged Eden build number shown on the loading screen or top left of the player inventory matches the latest build number shown in the Change Notes. If it does not then you are running an outdated version of the scenario and trying either of the below steps may update it for you.

  3. Validate files in Steam. Right click Empyrion in your Steam Library > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

  4. Unsubscribe and resubscribe to the scenario on the Steam Workshop.

  5. Update the scenario on your server by re-uploading all scenario files to your server. Make sure to use the same scenario folder name as the scenario's name cannot be changed in an existing save game.

  6. If you use a FTP client to upload files, make sure the transfer mode is set to binary in your FTP client to avoid missing block models and visual effects.

  7. If the problem does not involve a scenario specific POI, block, or NPC then try to reproduce the problem in a vanilla save game using the same situation, game mode, and type (survival or creative, singleplayer coop or dedicated server, space or planet, etc). If the problem happens in vanilla you can report the issue on the game's bug reporting form.

  8. If none of the above has solved the problem please report the issue here.

Reporting an issue:
  • Make a new comment here with as much detail as you can.
    Please be specific by using the exact names as shown in-game when mentioning the names of items, blocks, POIs, etc if you are able.
  • Include star class, playfield type and any other identifiers to help know what playfield type the problem happens in, if applicable.
  • Please do not include whole logs, but parts of logs that show a specific error will help.
  • Check out the list of known issues below to make sure your issue has not already been reported.

NullReferenceException when equipping the Tactical Stealth Rifle
(Item Id: 1556, Name: SpecOpsRifle)

From the log file:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at HoldWeaponFPV.Update () [0x00018] in <6b8edda4cbf64cccb1ad994713cc34d6>:0

If the console option for "open on exceptions" is ticked, it is difficult to escape from the error loop to unequip the weapon due to the error dialogue popup screen. Otherwise does not seem to hinder gameplay (in single player), but the error is spammed continuously in the console and in the log file while the weapon is equipped.

*As a temporary fix, I changed the meshfile to use the debug rifle model

You are running an old version of the scenario.

Hey Ravien, It s not a real bug report but i m currently translating in french the last update and i noticed a mistake in dialogues.csv. There is about 2000 too much lines (probably a wrong copy paste). Check line 6472 to 8476 are there twice. We can noticed the header at 6472.

Another probably wrong copy paste in Pda.Csv : check eden_pda_8meCCOk it might be "Gold Standard Warehouse" instead of "Arriake Technology"

Great thanks for catching that I will get that fixed!

Dunno if it should go here:
After update or maybe some quest my factory BPs ask lower resource quantity.
I didnt change any difficulty settings or anything.
This blueprint before update asked for 800 aluminum powder and after update it asks 120 powder:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3006203804
Blueprint itself didnt change (there was no updates to it)
Platinum ingots was like 75 maybe, now it asks 15

Nothing changed in regards to costs.
Did you try restarting the game all the way back to Windows desktop?

Single player on Dread planet breaks a landscape (it float) in savegames. If you save your game, then load this save, you will see this:

It happen only in Reforged Eden, after last update.

Terrain holes like that aren't anything we can fix within the scenario sadly.

You can try deleting your cache folder for your save game (may remove factory contents).

I don’t know how it worked, but copying the cache and "Playfields" in save folder from an old save, from a previous version fixed it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This wouldn't be anything we can fix in the scenario or on a server.

There was an update to Reforged Eden today via Steam. I've only just logged into the server I am playing on but its letting me in with no miss-match errors I have noticed two bugs so far and seek confirmation from the community that is is happening for them.

1. Shields on Small Vessels and capital ships show a red bar instead of the usual flashing red then blue bar after launch. I can't tell if the shields are up. The shields show red in the P menu as well. Tested power on/off, shields on/off, and docking/undocking.

2. The "Human Guard" structures that I had bought from the UCH Vessel that looked like bunk beds and been replaced with empty hydroponics bays. These structures destroyed/removed any nearby structures needed to fit in the hydroponics bay centered on the spot the bunk was.

I am attempting to contact the server owners to check if there is an update they need to run at the server end but I'm surprised I was able to log in if there was a modset miss-match.

The first just means your shields are off.
The second may be server corruption of some kind.

Do you know of any known issues with the (Polaris) Mining Contracts. I did the first one (mining Rich Ice with no issues. The next one required mining Pentaxid, Zascosium, and Aluminum in space. I was able to mine Zascosium and Aluminum asteroids and get credit for it with no problem. However, I've tried mining Pentaxid asteroids the same way and even by hand in different systems and cannot get credit for it.
