[Mech] Cannot connect to connector on base #5823

Open asanagisae opened 1 week ago

asanagisae commented 1 week ago

Short Description of the issue:

When attempting to attach a mech to a station via connector blocks built at matching heights, the mech will involuntarily tilt such that the connectors never align.

This may only affect certain mech shapes.

Docking is fine when there is no gravity. Docking fails when there is planetary gravity or artificial gravity from the gravity block. Docking fails whether you initiate docking from the mech or the station.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Build a mech with a connector.
  2. Build a small connector on a station that matches the mech's connector in height.
  3. Bring the mech to the wall connector.
  4. Toggle the connector on, watch them attempt to auto connect, watch it fail. See video.

Environment

Additional information:

I've been using this mech: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3271632163

The connector is 1/2m off the ground. The station should also have a connector 1/2m off the ground. I have tried placing the connector higher and lower, but it does not help the issue.

Press 1 while seated to toggle the rear connector on/off. The tooltip is missing: I opened issue #5822 for it.

This mech does not use any joints labeled "feet".

With the latest mech update, the chair mech no longer tilts forward. The connection does not complete after 60 seconds at least, at which point I give up.
