In my last game, I've ordered the construction of an Arcology spire in one of my domes. Everything was going well: all the polymer was assigned, and only concrete was missing. All the concrete was also in nearby storages, so I "ordered" a passenger rocket. Then suddenly they decided it wasn't worth it anymore, and they stopped to add concrete to it altogether at 32 blocks. I upped the spyre priority, reduced the priority in all other nearby stuff, tried bringing concrete manually to the dome with the rover - and they were still ignoring it. Worse, for some reason the drones started to pick up the concrete to carry it to other storages outside of range. By the time the rocket arrived, and after a sun and a half of wait in orbit, the drones hadn't put a single block more.

Prior to this, something similar happened during a meteor shower. They took forever to rebuild some broken cables despite having the resources close by and despite the priorities being the highest for those.

Is there any way to force a drone to do construction work on a specific building/item, the way you can tell them to perform maintenance on something?
 
You can micromanage a drone to pick up 1 concrete and add it to the building. Repeat until complete...


I had a similar problem. The thing was my new building was outside the drone command zone, but inside my rocket command zone. But I had no drones assigned to the rocket command, so no drone felt responsible for finishing the job...
