How to get landing gear to properly stick?
It is worth noting that you cannot have landing gear being locked AND also being locked to a connector at the same time.
A possible solution that worked for me was provided by Yellow Claw here:
- Create landing gear; completely build it.
- Save and reload your save.
- Build cockpit and enter it; and then press "P" so it sticks to the ground.
- And then continue building like normal
Also the glowing does not nessecarily indicate that the landing gear is correctly positioned.
Taken from the space engineers wiki:
- Yellow - The landing gear is not engaged, but is within range of a suitable surface to attach itself to.
- Blue - The gear is in auto locking mode and will lock as soon as a mass is in range.
- Green - The gear is connected to a surface and secured.
- Black - The gear is not within range of a suitable surface.
What color is your landing gear glowing in?
When it is glowing yellow, it is in range of a surface to attach to, but not actually attached. Press P to attach it to the surface. A landing gear which is attached will glow green.
You can also but the landing gear in "auto-lock" mode. It will then attach to the first available surface. When in auto-lock mode, the landing gear glows light-blue.
