The asteroid collector grabber arm sometimes teleports between positions instead of moving smoothly.
What did you do?
I was traveling on a space platform to Gleba for the first time. I think the issue may be triggered by low power.
What happened?
The grabber arms teleported between positions... | [] | 0 | 2024-11-17T05:16:22-06:00 |
