Closed Asteroid Field: Instant death from bottom of world upon beaming down

Coordinates: X -8628678 Y 50142868

Upon beaming down to the Asteroid Field, the character is instantly killed by touching the bottom of the generated map. There is no opportunity to jump or create a platform to survive. Ideally, a procedural line should be included to prevent this- or expanded (normally, a 1x6 or so platform is flattened or appears after beaming down. This did not happen; or, possibly, did happen, but the blocks spawned below the generated map, and therefore were despawned?) to include Asteroid Fields more appropriately.

 

Exactly the same thing happens at -15458522 35964124 in gamma sector ... Instant death when you beam to asteroid field. THought my survival gear was defective, since this was my first attempt at entering an asteroid field, but I guess there's something else going on =)

 

This is a known issue, and may (MAY) be addressed with the next update.

 

Would be neat if asteroid fields looped on the y axis in the same way that other planets loop on the x. So you would be circling a cluster of rocks. Granted, it still doesn't solve the issue of "why is there a 'down' in an asteroid field?" but it would definitely make asteroid fields the ideal place for duels and such.

 

Happened to me today at -17286951, -35320067, Gamma sector.

 

This happened to me as well - on a Hardcore character, so my items are stuck on the bottom with no hope of retrieval - and beaming down and back up before death only managed to eat half of them, sending them to the void between collection and appearance.

 

Haa, this also happened to me. HC-character. All items gone. Sucks.

 

So now what I do is have a couple of chests near my teleporter where I dump my entire inventory before checking asteroid fields. I'm thankful I still had enough spare stuff to continue with the character.
