can't equip drone

Post by tswaters »

I'm not sure how this happened, but my defense drone II can't be equipped. It appears to be powered on, but the system power doesn't go down and I can't turn it off -- it doesn't appear on the screen. See screenshot.

I tried to upload a copy of the save file, but "The extension sav is not allowed" ... also, a screenshot of ftl, when pasted directly into paint and saved, will have a file size > the board limit of file uploads. I needed to load it into gimp to reduce the quality of the JPG.

actually, upon closer inspection, the drone is actually activated and shooting down stuff, but it appears off screen and I can't turn it off. Actually kind of nice, because it doesn't take any power.

This is a known bug that will be fixed in the next patch :) Enjoy your free invisible defense drone in the meantime!

This is a known feature

enjoy the game you paid $10 for despite being full of a huge number of such features

begs the question, did these idiots try to play this game before realeasing it? Or did they just ship it out as soon as they could get it to burn up someones CPU?

what are you some kind of troll? Shit [bugs] happen
and $10 is a bargain, for any game.
I've paid far more money for far more bug-laden games than this one.
