2.4: Are modules disappearing from storage? Or it is just me?? Anyone else???
- Thread starter Truesilver
- Start date
Just going to mention that when you swap/replace already installed modules, the game defaults to storage UNLESS your module storage is full, in which case it quietly sells the module without making any mention of it or otherwise highlighting that it's about to sell your module. So that might have happened.
That could explain the loss of an engineered 5A thruster I had, I just assumed I'd stupidly sold it, but if what you say is true, that's a terrible setup.
It happened to me and a friend when our module storage was not full. V
It sometimes feels like Frontier believes that hiring UI/UX people full time is a waste of money and that UX isn't even a real field and is just a scam, or something.
There is a bug still present within current version in regards to module storage.
it is somehow exploitish, as “properly” used can give small benefit to the player, hence i will not describe it in public.

This also happened to me. Try buying a different FSD for an Annie, module storage at 60, previous G5 increased Range God Roll gets quietly Sold = crying to this date.
Zac Antonaci posted journal documentation here. EDCodex has an online version of it as well.
Whenever a module is sold (including as part of buying another module), the journal entry includes a value for SellItem. For a 3D HRP it would be "SellItem":"$int_hullreinforcement_size3_class2_name;". Unfortunately there's no engineering information provided for modules being sold, but it does show which ship you were flying at the time.
You'll want to automate the search somehow, since painstakingly going through your journals by hand would be quite a task. If you don't have any preferred method to do that, here's a Python 3 script which will run through all the non-beta journals in the folder it's executed from and drop the relevant lines into a file named soldmodules.txt. It doesn't touch the journals, but if you use it, please be sure to make a copy of your journal folder and run it on that, just to be safe.
Code:
import os
sold = open('soldmodules.txt', 'w')
for x in os.listdir():
if x.startswith('Journal.') and x.endswith('.log'):
log = open(x, 'r', encoding='utf8')
for y in log.readlines():
if '"SellItem":"$int_hullreinforcement_size3' in y:
sold.write(y)
log.close()
sold.close()I actually have the opposite
I gained some modules after 2.4 launched, including 4 plasmas with effects I had never modded and also some prismatic shields I had never modded

Bug reversion is a problem with every game I've played in the past 20 years that gets routinely updated. My layman theory is that the copy of the game they use to create the newest revision was taken while those issues were present, and the fixed issues list didn't make it into that version.
It's annoying, but it happens everywhere. I'm probably wrong about why, but that's the only reason I can imagine. I suppose a line of code as a "patch" could get shifted or whatever and undo a "fix" that was instituted prior.
Thanks all for a lot of constructive responses.
Yes, a very good point. Again I can't rule it out, although I'm pretty careful at keeping my module storage well below full. Always possible though, unfortunately.
Most helpful as ever, TY.
If you got a 3D HRP, you'll be hearing from my solicitors.

Aha,There are they!People,I have found mine lost modules,thank you,sir.

Yeah, that may happen (I'm not saying it happens in ED). However, it really shouldn't happen. Tracking issues of two or three revisions and fixing them properly is not that hard. And half of the tracking, fixing and testing is (or can be) automated anyway.
Strange, i remember to store all the passanger cabins from my conda to change it from uber to jumpconda, when i come back to uber i see that one cabin vanish. ( This really don't matter, since the cabin are a stock and cheap cabin i can buy another!) but yeah i think the storage are somehow eating some stored modules now!
In a game where a guy might put hundreds of g5 rolls, sweating blood for weeks, into a module ... this is a bit of a problem.
the result of the bug is reversible, if acted properly.
