PS Lost drone under the map and can not retrieve or place a new one.

Version

v2.6 (b14)

Platform

PS5

I play 7 Days to Die on ps5. My drone appears to be stuck under the map. I dug down as far as I can dig to the point where it won't let me dig any deeper and the icon for the drone still appears to be lower than the bedrock I suppose it's called. I tried deploying a new one but it wont let me because of the max drones deployed limit. This bug is the only one I've encountered so far that has been extremely frustrating. I lost gyrocopters before which was bad but I could craft a new one no problem. The stuff inside the lost gyrocopter was lost unless I found the vehicle again, but i could always get more stuff. I have so many drones in storage but with this glitch it doesn't matter you can't use them. This bug happened to me on the latest 2.5 stable version just before the 2.6 one

Hi Ghostkillah420,

We are sorry to hear of the issues you are having with the junk drone.

We have made some recent changes to the drone for V3, so this may no longer be an issue in the upcoming patch.

In the meantime, if you are playing on a dedicated server with at least one PC player with admin access, you may be able to get the drone recalled by having them use the LP command to get your player ID first, and then the command jds unstuck PlayerID (for example, my player ID is 171 so jds unstuck 171 would teleport the drone to my player character).

Unfortunately, Sony doesn't allow players to access the admin commands for the junk drone.

Cheers,
Dollie

Ok, thanks for the good news! Hopefully the new patch will help out with that bug. I saw all the comments about people on PC using commands in the console to clear the drone from the server then they had to erase drone data from their save game folder. I tried the commands and they don't work on PS5 unfortunately. My game that has the issue is on my own created game on PS5 where I am the admin of the server.

I am an Xbox player and I have also lost vehicles when logging off and back on, I always recommend picking up vehicles and drones before logging off to help prevent losing them, it's not a fix but will help losing stuff until the fix
