Scrapper working but metal still not available for use.

[Hungrydingo]

Hi, I'm playing a game with about 64 colonists so far. I have 2 scrappers running and the deposits are being depleted but metal is not being made available for use. I'm stuck at 0 metal despite having 4 workers assigned to the 2 scrappers. I have space in my stockpile, warehouse, and general storage. I watch the workers and they go to the metal deposit, they mine it and carry it back to the scrapper but that's the end of it. It never gets put into my inventory or stockpiles. I can't build any more buildings because it says I have 0 metal even though it's being gathered and processed at the scrapper. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? I do not have any construction projects currently going so they're not delivering it to buildings being constructed.

Vanilla game?

Vanilla game?

Yes, I dont own any DLC. Is there one that would fix this problem?

By 'vanilla' she means are there any mods in use? Nothing to do with DLCs.

Either way though, please attach here your saved game file, thanks.

Sorry, I missed this response until now. How do I find my save file? I looked through my directory and could not find it.

They should be in C:/users/{UserName}/documents/Paradox Interactive/Surviving the Aftermath/SaveGames/

For some reason both those scrappers glitched out. Just demolish them and rebuild them, they'll work fine.

But you might look a putting them closer to the deposits and storage, so their workers don't have so far to go for each load. And Improve the roads they use.
