transporting resources to/from underground in Below & Beyond

[doug493]

> 99.99% chance I’m just missing something obvious. I just starting to play Below and Beyond. I researched and built the elevator to the underground. Drones show up as assigned to the elevator on the surface, but no drones are assigned underground (Drones Assigned – 0). The elevator is turned on and is powered, etc. There are depots with resources beside the elevator on the surface. I can load up a rover or a drone and send it underground / aboveground and move resources that way.

When I click the leftmost elevator menu button to transport resources I get a table with column headers for resource types and quantities below and above but the rest of the table is blank. And nothing I do populates the table with resource counts (like I can see for the Space Elevator). I'm assuming the underground elevator works more or less like the space version, but only of course on existing resources but I can't figure out how to move stuff without using a rover.

I’ve been searching the net for an hour now, looking at YouTube, etc., but can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. The game is running through Steam so should be the latest version. I’m running all DLCs except Space Race.

You can assign drones to the elevator using the "assign drone(s)" button after clicking on some drones.
You transport resources by increasing the quantities of resources listed. In auto mode you define minimum of resources on each level and transport happens automatically to meet that minimum. Without auto mode you directly define the amount of resources to be sent

Thank you. The issue is that there are no resources listed. I see the headers, but there is no list underneath. That part of the table is blank.

I have drones assigned to both ends of the elevator now, but the screen still looks like this...

Interesting. That seems to be some kind of bug or mod conflict, I guess the latter. I would try deactivating all mods and verifying integrity of game files on steam (right click on game in steam library -> properties -> local files).
There used to be a bug that prevented transport of resources underground when transport via rocket was deactivated (e.g. during certain mysteries) but that should be fixed by now.

Thank you. I wasn't even thinking about mods. I only use five or six mods, but disabling all of them fixed the table. I now see resources there. I'll sleuth a bit and see if I can figure out which one was causing the problem.
