[Build 59691] Broken mobile vehicle bay

Jarin

To reproduce: Swim relatively deep (100m~ish), release MVB, then repeatedly attempt to "climb" it while it's headed towards the surface. Once on the surface, the menu is accessible, but nothing will build.

I've had the same problem. Even making a second mobile vehicle bay did not fix the problem

I've got the same problem. I don't remember how deep I deployed the MVB at any point, but it's possible I did it too deep. Anyway, can't build prawn suit at all now.

Edit: Actually, my problem WAS fixed by making an another MVB. I made sure to deploy it close to the surface and waiting until it was settled before I climbed on it.

This fixed the issue for me. However, the original would never fix itself no matter how I redeployed it; it was permanently nonfunctional.

This is finicky as heck. Climbed onto a MVB maybe half a second before it finished surfacing, and broke it. Very easy to do accidentally, apparently.

I've had this same problem, but not by climbing on it too early.

I packed up the MVB while it was constructing a vehicle, after that it wouldn't construct anything else.
Tossing the MVB and building another one works.

Reproduction steps:
1: select vehicle to build in MVB
2: pack up MVB before vehicle is completed
3: try building another vehicle with same MVB

My guess is that the MVB is implemented with different state transitions (e.g. packed -> deployed -> mounted -> building -> deployed ) that get misaligned when something unexpected happens. So in my case it got stuck in the "building" state without finishing its transition to the "deployed/ready for use" state.
