Description
Placing buildings in unreachable locations can prevent drones from operating

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
It appears that if you try to build a building in a location that is in range of a drone commander, but is inaccessible for some reason, the drones will stop building things entirely. There will be no warning about an unreachable construction site.
Can you replicate the issue?
See attached image.
The image shows the original location of my concrete excavator. When it ran out of harvestable concrete, I destroyed it and attempted to rebuilt it in approximately the location indicated by the red hexagon, but rotated 180 degrees from the initial construction.
Put another way, the new excavator was to be 1-3 hexes to the left, and facing to the right instead of left.
The already excavated area isn't traversable by drones even after demolition of the original excavator. Apparently, the excavation area of the new excavator is flagged as not traversable even before the excavator is built.
As far as I can tell, I positioned the new excavator so the old and new excavation areas meshed perfectly, encasing the construction site in untraversable terrain.
The drones couldn't reach it, so they never tried to build it. It was also at the head of the construction queue, so they also never tried to build anything I placed after the excavator.
