Officially acknowledged

August 13 hotfix: kits and slot contents were destroyed

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The same hotfix stops deconstruction destroying kits and slot contents instead of returning them. It also prevents a failed refund leaving the structure stuck in the world. These are recorded deconstruction changes; the note does not promise that previously destroyed contents are restored retroactively. [1]

Officially acknowledged

August 13 hotfix: some saves failed to load

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Hotfix 0.2.6428.27798 addresses saves failing to load in some cases. The release note does not identify every affected save condition or provide a manual save-file edit. Treat this as the developer’s version-specific change before attempting unrelated file modifications. [1]

Documented workaround

Cable Gun stops when no cable coil is available

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The tool can reload from an Electrical Belt when its own coil empties. Its tooltip displays the run length and cost. The update also adds an error state when no coil is available, so check the actual available coils instead of assuming every stopped run is caused by the pylon system. [2]

Documented steps

  1. Supply cable coils in the Electrical Belt when using it to extend a Cable Gun run. [2]
Documented workaround

Cable Gun cannot merge cables or turn a corner

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Cable Gun lays long, straight runs. It cannot merge existing cables or place cable around corners. An unsuccessful attempt to draw a corner with that tool is therefore a documented tool restriction rather than a confirmed cable-network failure. [2]

Resolved

Power Line update: elevator placement and registration

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The Power Line update fixes placement incorrectly blocked by shafts above or below and rounding errors that prevented elevator levels registering. Those are specific construction and network-registration defects. The notes do not remove the need to construct the elevator system properly. [2]
