If Drones ++ is causing any bugs and crashes, you can post them on this thread. When submitting a crash report, please copy the crash log that appears immediately after the crash not the crash log’s file. I will only need the first few lines of the crash report too.

Error 420:
Dank memes not loaded
JellyBeanLt Ah, to fix this just open up chrome, and search up dank memes. Now keep this open on a secondary monitor during your gameplay. This should fix up any dank memes you should be lacking.
jbox1 Thanks, I'm currently off to find one.

Sometimes drone cores just randomly say error and don't work no matter how many controllers or AIs are nearby.
MegaNikiGaming Press “reset crew positions” in the crew tab to fix this if this ever occurs.

When you start a new game in bounty mode, and pick "easy difficulty", you'll immediately get a crash bug.
it states, that a file named "C:\Users[your username]\Documents\My Games\Cosmoteer\Mods\Drones ++\Library\jbox1's Lonely Sailor" could not be found.
Solution: I copied the file "jbox1's Lonely Sailor.ship.png" into the same folder, but named as "jbox1's Lonely Sailor".
After doing so, it worked, so its propably just a typo.
I started with the starting ship "Model-L" if this matters. Hope this report helps, because i guess none of you plays on easy difficulty.
same as above with "jbox1's Wasp". crashing when you enter a sector where it is present.
schadenfroh81 yes, I am perfectly aware if this, and it will be fixed along with the patch for 0.14.0. Sorry for the inconvenience, just a few typos.
no worries, i just wanted to inform you. if i was a modder, i also wouldn't work too much before 1.14

ONYX-Guard Did you have two installations of Drones ++ and/or Automation ++ active at the same time?
Since it’s a “duplicant part ID” error, it means there were two or more parts which shared the same ID loaded at the same time, such as when the same mod is loaded twice, or a mod maker was careless with his ID selection.
jbox1 hi. Yeah i was using automation++, drones++ and parts glore.
I tried using just the two ++ mods and it still crashed.
I only seemed to get the crash messages after installing the drones++ mod.
ONYX-Guard Yeah, Drones ++ and Automation ++ reuse some of the parts of each other, so they have the same ID, therefore, are incompatible
jbox1 thanks. I had no idea they used some of the same Id's.
I'm not sure which one would be better to use.
