Can't colonize new worlds from Colonies screen (F4)

Post by scotten_usa »

v 1.1.7.1

I've ordered several planets to be colonized, but the ships aren't being built. I've tried several different races and nothing happens (I need to order them to be manually built on existing planets).

Thanks for the report!

How's your economic situation in the game? Do you have enough money? What are your automation settings?

How long did you wait before thinking something went wrong?

I have 1,243,000 credits. When I manually start a colony ship - it works fine (see Beta Scuptoris Wager here).

Unfortunately I don't even remember how long the ships sat without the construction beginning. I was in the middle of a war and didn't notice. :D This did happen earlier in the game and ended up manually building the colony ship and hoped it was a fluke error.

After further testing, I'm not sure what's going on. I used the Colonies to create 2 more ships - each with a different race - and one for Haakonish started. Maybe you can experiment with save and figure out what is wrong. Thanks.

We just released a new public beta, v1.1.7.2. Do you mind taking a look to see if you're still able to reproduce this issue? Also if there are additional saves and situations you can point to that fit into this type of issue, definitely upload them.
