Well, this could've gone better

[ElectricFactory]

I belive that guy was playing on PC where there are bindings choices- I'm on XBOX and there just aren't those choices. I've been searching, wonder if this problem exists for other XBOX users.

I don't have the same key for ship boost (which is for forwards movement) and for SRV boost (which is for upward movement). My SRV boost upward is bound to the R key* if that helps (whereas ship boost is on the joystick).

EDIT - Note that the problem reported in Reddit was solved by changing a key bind.

* R for Boost upwaRds .... makes sense, right?

Have you tried linking this thread in another thread in the XBox section? There might be someone there who has solved the issue.

Here's a vid, am playing on XBOX so I don't have very many options to change bindings. I did try switching the 'B' button for vertical thrusters to the 'A' button but same result- the vertical boost sound but no boosting. Take a look below, very frustrating. If this anomaly is unsolvable it kinds of takes the gameplay right out of the srv, maybe i should begin a seperate post in the XBOX forum.

The sound is too short - are you keeping it pressed?

 

[ElectricFactory]

You can't keep it pressed, when you do the controller option window opens

Well that would be an ecumenical XBox matter

 

[Phongsalt]

Change the binding for something that can be depressed and held down.Shoulder button or stick.

You just made oi laugh out loud. Best episode ever.

And yeah, this thread would be better on XBox forum.

Switched. I did however change the binding at someone's suggestion to a key that can be pressed and held- vertical thrusters now working. Makes a guy wonder why ED bound a necessary SRV function to a key that dosen't work..

It does what you tell it to.... I suppose they could reject strange bindings, but there is more important work to do! Glad it's fixed

World Peace improves .... gas prices reduce ... Iran hands over its Uranium .... and North and South Korea join as one in harmony .....

There is no problem too great that can't be solved in this Forum

 

[ElectricFactory]

Just to be clear- the default button for srv vertical thrusters is 'B'. The problem is the default button 'B' dosen't work to activate SRV vertical thrusters.
Though I found a workaround, this seems a problem no ?

I'm using default xbox controls for both srv and ship (with some added extra bindings) and everything is fine. IIRC pressing and holding the left stick triggers the vertical thrusters on srv

I think that's the point of providing us with configurable bindings.

fight!

(Edit: If the default bindings didn't work I would expect a stream of angry xboxers complaining about the bindings, but I only see you )

 

[ElectricFactory]

I guess so, but a little 'attention XBOX players! Your controller may not accurately operate the game as we've laid it out, if you find such don't waste time trying to figure out why it isn't working, simply change the buttons' would've been appreciated.
Now I know.

For the love of God. I finally found all of the pylons and charged them, got the orb up and sat in front of it for 20min while i thought my scanner wasn't, you know, scanning. I t was just not very obviously. I got the plans and am now shooting spire panels for the mats.
Coukld have shot the spire mat panels before all of the pylon raising/ charging, or are they not axctivated until you do all of that stuff ?
Thanks to all who weighed in to help with this, due to my own ineptitude it took me 7 complete go rounds before I finally sorted it out the pylon charging thing, now I'll take my meds and try to forget.

You can shoot the panels anytime.

Did you scan the orb with your discovery scanner? Did you see the Guardian Blueprint Discovered message? I once made a mistake of scanning it with my composition scanner, and found it out too late, when I was over 900 light years from the site. If you are not sure regarding the materials, here is a very useful table I used/use:

It has all the required blueprints, materials and components for all the Guardian-related technology. Good luck!
