Bug about the drone
Some people seems to not be able to steer the drone, when others can use it without any problem. The drone file is also uploaded here, any idea/thought is welcomed. Pls help me solve this.

BE NOTICE: This bug has nothing to do with power supply and was believed to be caused by modding. And I personally would suspect that lagging in time frame would have a negative influence on the reliability of drone's circuit.

LATEST INFORMATION: Evidences have been found that some mods would ♥♥♥♥ the steering of the drone due to unknown reasons. If you find yourself unable to control the drone, try to disable some of your mods.

Started to turn off mods one by one, after disabling oClockRadar / Sonar [Alt Appearance] drone started to work. Disabled all the rest, enabled this one - drone is dead.
Maybe it should be mentioned in the description of sub somewhere?
Anyway, thanks for the assistance :)

While I am happy it helped: ouch!, ouch!, ouch!, double and triple ouch! :'-)

That was totally unexpected - especially - and that is why OUCH! - you do not need that mod installed and activated!!! :captainclown:

You just need to download that image which you can do here with rightclick + save as https://i.imgur.com/3qyi5pR.png

Download and rename it to sonarOverlay.png

And then put it in your game's folder as described

Replace Content/Items/Command/sonarOverlay.png with the downloaded and renamed file.

That way you can use the extra sonar without having the Drone issue to begin with. :lis_alex:

@thibaut3000> Could you check as well if the issue with you and your friend is of a similar nature?

Well, how then could I have known that? :) First thing to think is "is there anything in the workshop to replace sonar overlay with?", find that there is, then click and install. If there would not be mods such as these, then I would look it up, and would've found that you can just replace the image. Again, thanks for the advice :)

You are welcome ~
I have checked the mod of the sonar and found out that there is more than just the needed image. That extra which came along can pretty much be the cause, considering it is all about the navigation terminal for ~ unknown reasons. Like: you absolutely do only need the image.

I hope this fixes the issue for everyone affected. Now everyone can enjoy the drone and the submarine properly!

Thank you guys I would never be able to know that by myself.

i still have one question for the drone but i'm not sure if its a bug or not. because when i try to release it, it just goes right back in the sub and i'm not sure what im doing wrong. i am pretty new to the game too so maybe i'm missing something?

i did have that sonar mod installed but i also removed it after reading trough the chat so i think it shouldn't be that anymore

You might just experience the auto-retrieval-feature.

When you activate the drone, make sure to steer it away from the docking port far enough so it can maintain position safely.

If you get close to the docking port, the automatic kicks in like a magnet, and the drone docks back to the ship.

for me even after removing that mod the drone refuses to even move out of its docking area
R4skall 8 Jan, 2022 @ 7:19pm 
it just goes in and out of the docking hatch and even when i managed to get it out one time by shooting the sub it just stuck to the ceiling and refused to move any direction but up and sometimes to the sides

The point is the pump und engine do not require power to function.
