Empyrion - Galactic Survival Known Issues, Workarounds and Fixes

Verified source documentation for Empyrion - Galactic Survival: specific troubleshooting constraints and the fixes described by its developers.

PC
Officially acknowledged

1.20 experimental: some Creative functions are unavailable

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The developer explicitly warns that not all local Creative features may be available yet. Space instances and Godmode are described as coming later. Do not assume that a walkthrough for local Creative mode establishes that these experimental instance features are already supported. [1]

Documented workaround

1.20 experimental: Creative instance rejects carried items or armor

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Creative build-lot configuration requires entry with no inventory and no armor. This separates Creative supplies from the Survival world. A portal refusing entry while you carry items is therefore a documented restriction, rather than proof that the multiplayer server has lost your character. The October 2 notice introduces this feature in the experimental phase. [1]

Documented workaround

1.20 experimental: Creative equipment does not leave the instance

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The announcement states that items obtained in the Creative instance are removed from inventory when leaving. The technical guide also covers logout and lost connection; Creative armor is deleted in those cases. This is inventory isolation, not a promise that the player can carry Creative supplies into the Survival economy. [1]

Documented workaround

1.20 experimental: no XP, reputation or PDA progress in a build lot

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The build-lot guide says PDA progress, experience, reputation and achievements do not count inside it. Dialogues do not start and the suit constructor tab is hidden. Those limits are part of the experimental build environment; they should not be diagnosed as a general Survival progression failure. [1]

Resolved

1.19.6 stable hotfix: official servers were not always yellow

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The 1.19.6 Build 5188 hotfix fixes official servers not always showing yellow in the multiplayer browser. This is a display-identification fix for the stable build. It is distinct from the new 1.20 experimental Creative-instance system. [2]
