Convert to Ship button greyed out?

So since some time I can't convert my stations to ships anymore.

I play in creative without voxel Support as I like to build and tray different things (cut/paste etc) which work better if the blocks can't move.

At first I thought it was because I build to big, but after a few try's I can't convert them anymore. Even with ownership set to me I can't convert them. I see they're stations because the mass in the info screen is 0.

I looked trough the bug section but couldn't find a post about it. So i first wanted to ask if this was a game change or not.

 

I would assume that if you have somehow managed to get the Voxel Support option enabled, the Convert To Ship button has no meaning... Could this be your issue?

 

No, as my "Station Ships aka ships build as a station" won't move even with full thruster force and they also don't display the grids mass.

Edit.

2 pictures one of my world settings the other ingame.

 

You are playing in creative. That means any blocks you place aren't set to YOU as the owner but "nobody." You can only convert a station to a ship if you own the majority of the blocks associated with it.

Go to the terminal menu "K" and select all of the blocks. Then set yourself to the owner of all of the blocks. BEFORE you do, make sure any turrets you have are set to "off" to be sure that your ship won't start attacking any neutral blocks around you and destroying stuff.

 

Please Check my OP. I already wrote that I have ownership.

Also it worked years without ownership.

 

It was changed because of too many people griefing stations by turning them into ships while attached or embedded in asteroids.

If it's not working, you may want to try logging out and then back in and see if the grid actually updated. If this works, please post a bug. I had something similar happen and I thought it was just a fluke.

 

Oh it was changed? I didn't know that.

What do you mean with Logging out and in again? I play in Creative Offline. Do you mean to reload the world?

Edit.

OK after setting everything to me it didn't work (still greyed out). So I closed the game and reloaded it, then I could click the button and convert my grid to a Large ship.

Thank you very much. I just don't know why I had to reload my saves for it to work.

 

that was FIXED not so long ago.
there was PR to fix it for months on github actually. reasons were as @Ronin1973 explained.

 

Well I don't go on github. I'm mostly on the steam forums. But I got it working now, just always have to reload my world for the button to be clickable.

 

Can you report this as a bug in the bug forum, please? If you don't report it, it won't get fixed.

 

Got it.
