misscrabtree456: That's exactly what happened. At least after being logged out for awhile I could get the iron I needed. If that didn't work, I guess I just lost, since the game would be log in die, log in die, log in die.
MrFob9138: That sounds weird.
In the screenshot you show, there are heaps of the typical iron formations but you say you couldn't mine them? Sounds like a bug to me where your multitool stopped working for whatever reason (on both Sentinels and mining).
I've been on many planets with aggressive Sentinels and never had that issue (although, I am not sure I've been on one yet where the text was "threatening", I had "aggressive", "hostile" and "frenzied" but I didn't always read the description texts so who knows).
Also, how did you get your ship into a cave?!? I think I managed to get mine under a rock outcropping at some point (and I took damage when taking off) but I never managed to get into a cave. :)
The cave part was, there was a cave, it wasn't that close to my ship. Sentinels all over me, can't kill them, time to get out of Denver. Get in my ship blast off, screen gets all blocky, look like ground, the only thing I could figure is somehow I am in that cave. Which sucks, because sometimes when I am taking off to go to another place on the planet, I am in space. Like WTF I just just hit the engines how could I be in space. This time it must shot me into the cave. I couldn't back out, no maneuver worked. The whole episode had the feeling of "let's just kill him no matter what he does" to it.
