Bug: Unable to transfer items to or from Fleet Carrier cargo
- Thread starter LVX-01
- Start date
Sweet work around for tradeable commodities, sadly no good for the 365 limpets currently stuck in my FC inventory.
Any suggestions on that very gratefully received o7
At 36500 credits the limpets are not I presume a financial concern nor are they likely to be of sentimental value so I would have thought ignore them until the issue is fixed would work.
Even in the stress test beta I don’t think I have ever owned that many limpets at one time.
Thank you so much, this did make me chuckle!
You can't trade Rare Goods, so that means you can't sell them to yourself. Once you TRANSFER rares onto your carrier they are stuck there....forever maybe?
Never store limpets in the cargo hold of an fleet carrier. Their weight increases the fuel consumption of the aircraft carrier during the voyage.
The best way is sell in ammunition store.
And you have a cash back

Hi All
This is a really annoying bug and I would hope it's fixed soon. I had another commodity that's gone into the grey (Platinum) which a few days ago was transferable.
It makes me wonder what other commodities will become unusable on the Carrier, and begs the question what if Tritium follows the same pattern. If that happens it's really going to impact the game, as at the moment this bug seems random.
A lesser bug, but is still slightly annoying is that sometimes transferring all commodities doesn't work as intended. I transfer for let's say for example 100t of a commodity but when you click on 'Confirm Items Transfer' it will only have transferred say 50t with 50t still in the Carriers cargo hold. My 'workaround' when this happens I've found is to transfer a small amount at a time, say for another example 10t, click confirm and for some strange reason this works, and then I do the same procedure to finally select the total amount that I want transferring. Another aspect of this is that after transferring some commodities sometimes the amount that should be remaining in the Carrier disappears!....but the amount is obviously still in the memory as if you transfer the commodities you've transferred back to the Carrier the total correct amount appears again...weird!
Has there been any feedback on these specific bugs from the development team at all?

Yes, that was one thought that crossed my mind, and not just the rares either.

Hi
In any event, the main point being here is that whatever system you use in transferring goods / commodities to and from Carrier using the game menu's it should work as intended, which at this moment in time isn't.
Jack
Yep, I agree, this is what I usually do, but sometimes I just click on 'transfer all to Carrier' then reload the limpets back to my ship and then sell them back to the Carrier.Never store limpets in the cargo hold of an fleet carrier.

Yes, this is a bug.
There have been various problems with FC storage open for literally years, but there are also at least three current issues.
Edit: I think 69188 is the closest one to your symptoms?

- This one goes back to Update 12 (!) and focuses on bartender, but has recent accurate comments on it: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/50569
- The "transaction error" scenario (with bartender) (which I don't think is the same problem as items getting greyed out" - https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/67143
- Carrier to ship - "transaction error" - this might just be a dupe of 67143? - https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/69188
- Odyssey mats (including all of goods, assets, data) specifically - "Selected resources are no longer available." https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/67889

I dunno why people keep hoping stuff that's not listed as being done will somehow get fixed. It's not even an update today, it's just server maintenance. They can't even fix stuff they say they'll fix somedays.

"Hope springs eternal" is an idiomatic expression that conveys the idea that humans inherently possess an enduring sense of hope, no matter the difficulties they face. It expresses the notion that people retain hope and optimism, even in discouraging circumstances.

Sounds like a bug to me!
Me too, no problem in loading 3.5k tons of Tritium to inventory, at least. The issue may well be server related and possible to be fixed there, most of those buttons trigger REST requests at some point. They may also be able to switch some items off from serverside. Limpets or Gold, though, seem strange candidates.
O7,
@Darkman Returns - what commodities are still greyed out for you?
