    See attached pic. I can remove the hydrogen thrusters at the back, and put new ones. They dont work. they are turned on. ownership is me. Tanks are full, the thruster next to it works. playing in creative. they are attached by conveyors. I'm at a loss on this one.

    Also had this problem. I found that it was (one of) the hydrogen tanks. The 4 lights on it were out, as if block was powered off. But the block was on, it had hydrogen in it, and was directly connected to the thruster. As I too was in creative, I simply removed the tank and replaced it with a new one, and the thrusters suddenly worked again. As far as I can tell, this does seem to be a bug.

    .....if there were NO hydrogen tanks, I would say that a single O2/H2 generator could not handle all the thrusters. But, with a tank for each one... now, as you said it works, it might be part of the same issue some users (including me) have been having, that thrusters suddenly just decide not to thrust anymore. Most of the times, an exit and reload solves it. MOST of the times, not ALL the times, thoug... :-(

    I had it once where a conveyer was not welded to functioning state BUT i see the top small thruster works that is connected to the larger so dont think its that

    I loaded the world to try a few things that i read above. And it's working now... that ship is a blueprint that I pasted. When I paste in another new one, it works fine. such a strange game some times...

    Yes... A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. :D
