Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
It is impossible to construct domes in certain areas of the map despite the availability of enough space, resources and drones. Once you place down the construction site, it will indicate that "the construction site is being cleared", even when the construction site is located in a clear area that does not require clearing. The construction does not progress beyond this clearing stage. No resource drop-off point appears and drones do not attempt to deliver resources, clear the site or do anything really. When you try to assign drones to the construction manually, the drones seem to want to attempt to pick up resources but then instantly freeze and do nothing until the drone controller eventually assigns them to different tasks.

When attempting to build a dome on a site that actually does need clearing, the drones initially clear the construction site as normal. But once the construction site is clear, the situation described above ensues and the construction does not progress beyond the clearing stage.

Strangely enough, this situation only occurs when trying to build in specific locations, especially when in close proximity to other structures. When attempting to build a dome in an area far from existing structures, construction progresses normally. I have tried clearing away the other structures near the construction site, but the entire area remains bugged.

The type of dome does not appear to matter. Micro, basic and barrel domes all show this problem.

The problem appears to be limited to domes only. Other constructions built on the same spot progress normally. I have heard from others that elevators show a similar if not the same issue. It may have something to do with the fact that both structures can be entered by drones?
Edit: landscaping showed the same issue. I tried to flatted the area where I wanted to build the dome and it showed the same problem whereby the process got stuck in the "clearing site" stage.

Can you replicate the issue?
Yes. Load up the attached save file and try to finish the dome that is currently under construction. Or any dome in that area. The construction site won't progress beyond clearing despite the site already being clear.

I'm having the same problem, especially with underground domes and any construction on an asteroid. It seems that if you switch maps while a building is under construction, that building can never start. Strangely enough, destroying and rebuilding the same building doesn't clear the problem, but clearing and rebuilding a completely different building does.

I'm thinking the fix for pipes and power lines never completing involved the creation of "ghost" buildings under construction when maps are switched, and those ghost buildings hinder the construction of the "real" buildings.

having the same issue as well. can never construct underground at this point so below is pointless until they figure out how to fix this.

Hi,

Thank you for your report, I have reproduced the issue with the supplied saves, and reported it internally.

Hi,

Thank you. I notice it happens frequently when you switch maps while 'clearing the site'. It doesn't seem to do it once the site is clear and resources are being brought in, if that helps.
