dirt excavator's drill head fell off - drill moves away from it's axel

21 votes

The drill head appears to be out of alignment with the rest of the assets. I have no idea when or how it moved. It still spins when the machine is running, and stops when the golems leave.

I can confirm I had same issue. It's fixed by a reload but happens again, head moves sideways with time little by little. Strangely enough it happened on one exavator while two others were totally fine.

I noticed the same problem, but it seems that the displacement is constantly about 1/2 tile.

As per the screenshot, after a game save and load (unsure if this caused it), the cutter model became disconnected from the main shaft.

I built my excavators on the lowest level at the edge of the map. The rotor moves away from the drive shaft over time. After saving and exiting the game and continuing the saved game, the rotor will be centered again. Version: 0.4.8.1-7a7b717-xsw. Faction: Folktails. Map: Beaverome.

The rotor seems to be misaligned on the ground floor in my experimental build.

Rotor misaligned... two rotors are on top of each other... nasty rotors...

Floating point variable?

The drill head of the excavator tool can be seen rotating around an axle that is different from the driver arm extending from the bottom of the building. The invisible axle around which the head rotates is not stationary, either. It can be seen rotating a little bit off or wildly off, so much so that the head arms pass through the wall into neighboring tiles. Have confirmed, the visible axle is correctly positioned and it is the rotating head that is incorrect.

According to devs the issue is basically fixed, since it's not critical it would come with whenever next update comes
