Surviving Mars - Rocket stuck in launch procedure

[EndlessTest]

Description
Rocket stuck in launch procedure

What is your game version?
227.923

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have a rocket that is fully fueled and ready to go to earth but it will not launch.

The launching procedure of the rocket is stuck. It says "Take off in progress" and its been like that for several sols.

I have included a save game with the rocket being stuck. I do not have a save game prior to that.

Can you replicate the issue?
No. It only happened in that particular game.

FOUND A WORKAROUND:

after some testing i could confirm how this bug is caused:

if a rocket is traveling from earth towards mars when a dust storm is going on and the rocket is set on automatic mode, the following will happen:
as soon as the dust storm ends, the rocket will instantly arrive at mars even if it just had departed from earth literally 1 second ago.
from this point on the rocket will be bugged and get stuck in "take-off in progress" as soon as you try to launch it, be it automatic or not.

how to deal with it:
everytime a dust storm is about to end, check for rockets currently on their way from earth to mars. disable automatic mode on these. land them manually as they arrive.
as soon as they have finished landing you can set them on automatic again and they will launch without issues.

np.

edit: spread the word pls, i'm pretty sure this will help a lot of players since that bug is pretty annoying, to say the least.

I’m having same issue. For me it was:
Dust storm when rocket start from earth - YES.
Automatic mode ON - NO.
Instantly arrive - YES.

Workaround with turn Automatic mode ON and OFF worked for me.
Dust storm flag is not set correctly?

This is happening to me too. Must be the patch because I loaded an older saved version of the game where I launched the rocket with no problem but now even that won't launch. Here is my most recent save of the game

This happening to me too today (latest patch)

I guess I know what happening:
1. I have 2 domes far away (can not reach by foot)
2. One dome have 2 homesick guys want to go Earth
3. The cargo rocket land on the other dome
4. The 2 homesick guys rush out of dome and disappear somewhere (no shuttle at this time)
5. The Rocket are waiting these 2 guys and never launch
6. The dome now have 2 homeless guys but can not locate them

I don't know how to fix this. I don't know how to find these 2 homeless guys. In colony overview window it show 0 homeless colonist

This bug is affecting me as well.

In my current game I have an initial base at the bottom of a depression and a second base in the plains above connected by a tunnel. After the update I have three rockets fully refueled but the launch button does nothing. I read elsewhere that once you're full of rare metals (exports) it'll launch. So far I have 11 but the rockets are all at the upper base where I don't have the rare metals. :/

In any case, this is an unplayable rendering bug, please fix ASAP.

I have the same issue, rockets are loaded but not leaving, whatever I do.
Since the last update all rockets that land do not take off anymore.

My game is unplayable at the moment. :-(

Patch do not help me, but I can launch rocket from "Cheats Menu" mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1336604230
"Launch" option in info panel

Rocket is not launching. Game version 228,722. Do I need to start a new game?

 

[Mattig89ch]

Same problem as everyone else.

If this helps any....the stuck rocket takes off only when full of exports. But when it does the "landing area" is lighted as if it is going to land again but it never does.
