Description
Drones won't construct new building - all resources available
What is your game version?
spirit update (before hot patch)
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I encountered a weird issue yesterday that I don't think has been reported yet. Drones wouldn't deliver construction materials to new buildings despite having many idle drones and all the necessary resources nearby. Changing the priority of the construction jobs made no difference.
The attached screenshots show the situation: the buildings were a triboelectric scrubber and a shuttle hub, I had a drone hub within range and many idle drones, and all the necessary resources for the buildings in a universal depot close by. The situation persisted for two or three sols before I started commanding the drones to manually pick up the resources and deliver them into the construction storage. Once all the resources were in place, the drones immediately started the actual construction.
While this was happening, the drones would do other kinds of jobs (maintenance, building supply, fetching items from production buildings). The only job they wouldn't do is deliver resources to a construction site.
I believe this was caused by very heavy activity by drones and shuttles doing different sorts of jobs in other areas of the map. I was just getting over a critical electronics shortage that caused most of my base to shut down, and everything was busy fixing and resupplying a lot of other buildings. Once all that other activity started to settle down, my local drones in this area started doing construction supply jobs again.
Unfortunately I didn't think to make a save game while this was happening, but I thought it impacted game play enough to merit a bug report. If I see this behavior again I will make a save.
Thanks
