Hi Couch Potato,

I've also encountered this issue, and unfortunately it sometimes happens regardless of what you do.

What I have found does help prevent it sometimes is to grind down the hinge head you will be attaching, then placing it the other way around (although I'm told it shouldn't make a difference, it does seem to for me).

Hello! I've been having troubles with this in workshop the last few days and have been poring for answers in the Space Engineers discord. When I go to connect the truck with a trailer, specifically the ore detector, the hinge on the trailer will forcibly rotate 90 degrees when facing the truck. Not only does this cause the trailer to turn 90 degrees with it, sometimes it causes explosions and general mayhem. Other times it causes the vehicle to go flying. Most times, a mixture of both. I attempted to lengthen the small conveyor tubes on the trailer and therefor the hitch, but to no avail. I personally do not know the reason as to why this occurs and changed darn near every setting on the hinges themselves. I'll be testing more tomorrow but I figured I would post this

Hi (Grieving) ᶜ8ᴱ 🎱 ๖ۜKar,

Sorry, no idea. That would depend on the mod used to make it AI, but its most likely the remote control block or the AI block that looks like a remote control

I found an AI variant of this and managed to take it over but it still is in an automatic mode. What block would I need to turn off to fix that?

Hi Azbc, yes I need to update the trailer manager script for all the trucks, I just haven't had the time yet.

And thanks, I'll try!

Hi, there is old script with TM. Keep up good work

All the controls are on toolbar 5. Use button 1 and 2 to go up and down, button 3 to apply the highlighted option, and button 4 to go back.

If it is not responding, then make sure you have the programmable block "PB Trailer Manager" turned On, as all programmable blocks are turned off by default (to prevent conflicts while printing). If that is still not working, check in your world settings wether you have scripts enabled.

I hope that helps, let me know if you are still haveing trouble after all that.
