Approximately Up RCS Thrusters Not Working Checklist
CURRENT TEST NEEDED
DIRECT ANSWER
Check the failure by layer: thruster orientation, required power or data connection, the controller input and axis you are commanding, then whether the symptom is no thrust, wrong-axis thrust, or unwanted roll. Exact port wiring is not officially documented here.

Why this page exists: A player sees no maneuvering response and needs a layered diagnosis.
Classify the symptom first
The RCS threads cover different failures: no response, control behavior that appears broken, and trouble commanding roll. Those are not one bug, so a single wire-swap answer would be irresponsible.
- No visible thrust: inspect connection and input state.
- Thrust on the wrong axis: inspect orientation and mapped axis.
- Continuous motion: isolate stuck input from imbalanced placement.
- Roll only fails: confirm that the controller actually requests roll.
What would verify the fix
A reliable diagram needs one minimal test rig, a named current controller, exact ports, screenshots of each connection, and a before-and-after response on 1.0.006. Community replies remain leads until reproduced.
