The Lighter Side of NMS: Graphics Hiccups and Funny Pics

While flying low, I somehow managed to get hung up on some fauna. Could not escape so I fired the ship’s weapons and now I was hung up on dead fauna. Was eventually able to land but my ship had merged with the animal.

To a lesser extend, that happened to me in an exocraft once, I think I recalled the craft a few metres away to get rid of the deer hood ornament. :cold_sweat: I keep thinking: How would a programmer detect and avoid exceptions like that? Would be an interesting topic for a game conference session.

Actually, I think NMS must have recently put in a check for some of these kinds of issues. There is a place on my base where I will reliably fall through the ground and now the game seems to notice that and puts me back on solid ground after falling for about one second.

A fix for the “freefall” issue specifically has been present since NEXT, I think. It doesn’t apply to other glitches which are more difficult to detect, however.

Thanks @Mad-Hatter, and @DevilinPixy for the explanation :smiley:

I thought a short circuit had sparked a fire in my nipnip stash and caused the “magic smoke” :rainbow:

I thought Sean said in an interview they weren’t using cubes. Or am I mistaken?
