Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Metal and Fuel resources have been unloaded extremely close to one of my Domes and not on a depot. The resources are still outside of the Dome but in close proximity to it. Now the drones are unable to pick the resources up, they enter the Dome and keep colliding with the wall trying to reach them. The Transport vehicle does not recognize the order to load the resources or is unable to get to them. As a result, the drones are ignoring metal and fuel that is on the universal depot because they are trying to move the metal and fuel from the ground as a higher priority. The shuttles are not bringing additional metal and fuel resources also.

Can you replicate the issue?
This has happened to both a pile of fuel and a separate pile of metal, the piles are a short distance away from each other, but neither piles are being interacted with by any drones or transports.

The same happened to me when salvaging outside a dome. Resources are there, but cannot be picked up. The temporary platform has its short edge against the dome; the drones seem to be trying to load only from the short edge, but from inside the dome.

Same on Xbox One. Have them right outside the dome entrance but won't touch them. Stopped a building from being completed whether I cancel the build and restart a new one.

This happened near one of my domes. The solution I found was to begin and immediately abort construction of a building that makes use of the trapped resources right up against the dome edge. It should teleport the stuck resources to the center of the now aborted building.

Obviously this only works with stuff buildings can be made out of.

Update: It was causing so many issues that I had to completely remove every building inside of the Dome and deconstruct the Dome itself. Once it was out of the way the drones then immediately began using the resources previously blocked.

It is something about the proximity to the Dome that was causing the issue. My advice if this happens to you is try your best to remove the building or structure that’s blocking the drones from getting to your resources. The buildings inside my Dome were suffering from metal degradation because the drones were ignoring depots and trying to get to the blocked resources.
