Known Bugs

This page lists the biggest currently known issues with Hazeron Starship.

If an issue is not listed here, restarting the game may help. Alternatively, check the bug reports part of the forum.

Fullscreen Mode

Fullscreen mode is broken. Do not use it.

Buildings won't rotate

When placing a building plan, using the keyboard to rotate the plan sometimes fails to function as intended.

Workaround: Clicking the game scene to focus it fixes this. Suggested double right click or middle click, as these won't place the building plan.

Pirate empires won't spawn

All but two of the pirate empires have no blueprints assigned to them. This means they cannot spawn.

In addition, the two which can spawn, Ogar and Seledon, spawn very rarely. This is assumed to be due to the spawning system still using MMO 24/7 uptimes and relying on multiple players visiting systems, whereas Starship's universe only runs when the player is playing, and the game is singleplayer.

Workaround: Players have no control over the spawning or blueprints of pirates. Unfortunately Haxus has to release a fix for this.

Exponential production increase/Not enough storage for output

Manufacturing processes that have optional tools which increase output scale the bonus incorrectly as more workshops are assigned to the process. This can be seen with Vulcium smelting as an example:

An example of the production scaling bug.

This has also revealed a secondary issue where if a process' output exceeds the storage of the building, the entire output is discarded. This happens even if the building's inventory is empty.

Workaround: The storage issue can be resolved by using building blueprints with very large commodity storages, such as a million units or more. Alternatively, lowering the amount of assigned workshops can lower the output to fit within the inventory.

Diplomacy window not updating

Performing most actions in the diplomacy window doesn't update it. The change does take effect, but the UI doesn't show it. This makes it show inaccurate dossier and empire stance information.

These actions don't cause an update:

• Changing your stance towards an empire
• Adding notes
• Sending a diplomatic message

Workaround: There are some actions which do force it to update. These are:

• Changing war policy
• Changing contact stance
• Changing the status of any dossier event

Citizens dying despite wearing EV suits

If you visit a hostile-environment colony, such as a moonbase, civilians randomly spawn around you. They will wear an EV Suit in order to protect from the harsh environment. However, they will still suffocate and die despite this. This will lower the colony's population.

Workaround: Spend a minimal amount of time around open areas of HEV colonies. If possible, stand inside a building or biodome that has HEV protection.

Deep space bug

Occasionally, when flying around using a spacecraft, you will be teleported far outside the galaxy. Your distance to the target or sensor locked object will be shown as -2147483648m. This is the negative int32 limit.

Despite being a massive distance outside of the galaxy, you will technically still be in the same "Solar system instance". Thus, both your solar system co-ordinates and your galactic co-ordinates will be extremely high, as shown in the GPS tab of the locator (F7) window.

Workaround: One option is to load an earlier save if you have one. If not, then self-destructing the ship and then using the spacecraft respawn system to recover it is also an option. Do not try to fly back, as it will take hundreds of hours even at warp 9.
