Ship repair is stuck on Processing after a thruster is destroyed

Tracked since 23 Aug 2026 · Last researched 23 Aug 2026

Problem

Your ship's repair remains stuck on Processing after a thruster is destroyed. This applies when landing gear sits directly beneath that destroyed thruster.

This is not a generic repair-service delay or a salvage-contract ship state.

Applies to Alpha 4.9.x LIVE · Current

Current conclusion

No reliable workaround is currently known once this repair state occurs.

What not to try

Character Repair is not a recovery for this stuck ship-repair state

High risk

Character Repair does not reset ship or vehicle bugs, so it cannot recover this stuck repair state.
