Update: rad_mars has kindly provided a save file as a work around for this issue. Scroll down to his reply. Thanks, Mars!
I posted this in https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/58070/lone-echo-bug-primary-digsite-battery#latest, but since part of the bug is different than the poster's issue, I'm posting it in a new thread. This also includes a video with a full repro, which happens every time I reload (including just after exiting the ship). I cannot progress further due to this bug. Both occur at the Primary Dig Site.
Bug 1 - This is the same as mentioned in the other thread. When I pull the depleted battery out, it becomes unmovable, making it difficult to place a new battery in the socket. This is seen at the beginning of the below video.
Bug 2 - When I jettison the fuel rod in the Generator, it does not eject, and instead re-docks. Because of this, I am unable to place the new fuel rod. This is seen at ~2:15 in the video.
Is there any official word on this? I am still unable to progress in the game (and it seems that there are others, not just in this thread, that are affected by issues at the primary dig site). Will it be addressed in an upcoming patch?
