Surviving Mars - Drones get stuck at Electronics Factory

Description
Drones get stuck at Electronics Factory

What is your game version?
227.923

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I found that when the Electronics Factory needs repairs (or doesn't), drones will come to try and repair with electronics. They'll pick up electronics from the output side of the factory, and then run into the side of the building. Then, they'll sit there not doing anything. If I click on the drone and make it move somewhere else, then wait, it will try to go back to the factory and get stuck in a different position.

Can you replicate the issue?
I only have one electronics factory, so I cannot replicate it in other settings. I can get it to replicate by waiting for a new electronics to be produced.

I'm having the same problem. I think the drones are getting stuck near the dome entrance possibly. The factory says that a drone is dispatched, but dispite ample idle drones and tones of correct resources, it won't get repaired for hours of gameplay, wasting a lot. It just happened to my done cracks following a storm, so now I have no way to repair the dome at all. I've taken to the rediculess method of just having obscene amounts of oxygen to compensate for the multiple fractures because of this bug. It's a critical fail. Arguably ruins a good game.

I think I have to quit playing and wait for a patch. ( X box player )

My workaround has been to select the drone, make it drop its contents, and then move it far away. Then, I let another drone come and grab it; or I grab a completely different drone to grab the dropped contents, and redirect it to a depot.

There seems to be some sort of problem during resource allocation, where a drone tries to repair the facility, but another drone has been assigned to that facility to repair, yet the other drone is either non-existent or doesn't have access to the resources to repair. I've noticed that if you try to get a drone to repair a building, and another drone is assigned, the drone you directed won't do anything except move to the building. The building repairs don't get superseded, like some sort of clashing issue or something.
