Last component not finishing - no reason

Post by gargoil »

I reported this in the Tech support forun, but wanted to hear for others if this has happened anybody else:

My main Space Port has all the resourses, well over the reserve amount to finish ships in construction. But they stop building needing the Countermeasure component only to finish. I have lot of the Silcon, Gold and Polymer need to complete it (think that's what it needed, anyway, I had lots of the 3 resouces, whatever they were, and way over the reserve). But still the ships stay at like 97.81% percent done. And never finish building.

I know sometimes you can issue orders to ships that are being built and they will leave and fly around with unbuilt parts. Perhaps what happened to you is the same but the party unbuilt was the reactor or something else critical. Is it a big big?

Before the expansion I had a couple of spaceyards or planets in every somewhat progressed game where the construction queues would get stuck for no readily apparent reason. No lack of resources and certainly no direct fiddling with the ships under construction being involved.

I reported such instances with uploads of save games one or two times.

The only thing I could think of was that sometimes during retrofits or while no ship of a certain design has reached a construction queue yet, changes to a design seem still to be possible. I often tried to cram in last minute updates to ship designs after issuing the build orders. There may be some connection or not. I now try to avoid modifying designs after they have gone into production even when the designer still lets me.

I my current expansion game I haven't seen a stuck construction queue yet, but that doesn't mean much. The game isn't so far advanced yet.

I believe I did modify the designs while the ships were in the queue. I think your on to something.
