Materials getting yeeted by SRV

Did you check the countdown timer in the contacts panel? The rarer the element, the quicker they degrade. As soon as you shoot the resource, use the contacts panel to mark the rare materials and scoop them first.
Not sure which post you're replying to, but if this in response to the first post then I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that you didn't watch the short video clip :)
 
While gathering Guardian materials a few days ago, I noticed that some of them were mysteriously vanishing. I'd shoot three destructible panels, then pick up the first item or two and realise that the final one or two were nowhere to be found. Then I realised that any non-selected materials that went under the SRV had a real chance of getting fired off at high speed into the distance, never to be seen again.
I don't recall this happening in EDH, or at least not more than once in a blue moon. In EDO I have been able to reproduce it quite reliably but yet I didn't see any mention of it here on the forum.
I captured a video of it happening: https://streamable.com/z34q4h
No idea if it's limited to Guardian materials, as it's been a while (a year, ish) since I went shooting rocks on a planet, but I feel like I have done that in EDO without noticing the unselected bits flying away.

Anyone else experiencing this?
As others have already reported, this is a reported bug. Who knows when it will be fixed...

On the bright side, at least the material was yeeted and not your SRV. I've had several instances where I go to drive over a material and it vaults my SRV far in the air. Not fun.

And it happens with anything the SRV can scoop up, not just Guardian materials. My SRV got yeeted yesterday while I was collecting materials from Crystalline Shards.
 
When materials are close together, select the nearest item from the turret view, and roll over it with the very outside of your wheel. Any material you drive over which is NOT selected will either vanish underground or hurl your SRV into orbit.

Been like that for many months now.
 
They don't yeet for me. I've targeted them and watched. They are destroyed.
Hmm, I've only ever seen the vanishing/yeeting act pulled by materials that are not targeted. Anything that is targeted is either grabbed by an open cargo scoop or nothing happens at all (so far at least).

Oh, I am full of all the common elements after 22k LY. I get a lot of iron, nickel, carbon, and the rest. I've tried it out on them without a care with the scoop open and closed. I first tried untargeted and just looking at the icons on the radar, but then tried targeted after I saw people claiming they were seeing movement. Though I am locked at 60fps, so if it is visible at a higher frame rate, that could be why.
 
I saw the piece rocket into orbit trying to get into the SRV.
If you stand on this piece with the SRV, it pulls the SRV up with it.
This has been the case for a long time and the tickets in the issue tracker are always closed.
@FDev: When do you plan to fix this?
 
in my experience crystal shards are notorious srv launchers. and guardian components are elite at disappearing. usually the disappearing act is getting pushed by srv under the terrain never to be seen again, but i remember at least one just slowly sinking to the ground like artax in neverending story
 
I had this issue when collecting Guardian Technology Components - sometimes running over them when not targeted they would just disappear. Also sometimes they would shoot off into the distance never to be seen again. Sometimes they would fail to drop, and sometimes they would land high up on a structure, making it impossible to scoop them. Very frustrating.
 
The first piece of material marked is also collected.
The others then often disappear.
If you stand on one of the surrounding parts when you collect it, you get a free ticket to orbit.

If it sticks up high sometimes I can get out of the SRV and bump it with my cmdr on foot w/jet pack and it will dislodge. Not worth it for the common trash but the tech components that love to just sit on top of the spires to spite me get that treatment. You can also shoot those panels on foot and they seem less apt to hang up.
 
Better than fixing this very annoying bug would be changing the already very annoying way you collect mats with the SRV.

Simply having the cargo scoop down and driving over them should be enough. Targeting and the janky manoeuvres you have to do to collect a group is needlessly tedious.

Or you can boost up with the SRV to collect them.

I would agree. Wish they set it up so that the targeting was the standard on non-materials like cargo containers and just drive over it was the standard for mats.
