Stuck Can't Build Spaceport on New Planet

[NAK714]

I am unable to build a spaceport on a new planet which I colonized(same system as home planet). It is reporting I am 4 Cuprica short.

- Home plant at max storage of Cuprica.
- Mining station maxed out with Cuprica.
- New planet not storing Cuprica.

Is there a way to increase storage on home planet or how do I get Cuprica to be stored on new planet?

Is this a bug?

Thanks!

Hey, at least 'you' can GET another planet. I can't get my colony ships to so much as pick up colonists, let alone go and colonize worlds.

You can manual the Storage amounts. Disable the Automatic for the planet, hover over "Shortages" and then set the treshold.
However please report this issue. Clearly something is not working right if the game does not set a sufficient Cuprica threshold.

Set the ship on Automatic. Asuming the Planet is still tagged as "colonize it", the game will notice the idle colonizer on automatic and prompt if it should restart the automatic process. Only if that fails, will it try to order a new one.
It will then be back in the same process as the one that was just build for that colonisation.

Agreed on needing more options to control it.

My colony ships 'are'' on automatic. I just shut down DWU to boot up DW2 to check (obviously DW2 is unplayable for me right now). The colonies are flagged so as to be colonizable. I have tried unflagging them too. Whether I have them flagged or not, I will inevitably after a short while get a message along the lines of: "Kamuri Major 1 wants to join us." and at the bottom are two options; 'Cancel Colonizing' and 'Decline'. Whether I click to cancel the colonization or to decline (or just ignore it, regardless of how I choose to proceed, the colony ships remain at the homeworld, pick up no passengers, and do not colonize.

Build colony ships manually at your planet. You can't build them in the order ships interface in the construction menu for some reason that escapes me, but you can build them directly at the planet by clicking on the planet and going to the build menu at the bottom. After they're built load up by holding right click and selecting the load colonists option, send the ship to the planet you want to colonize.

To snowball even faster in the beginning of a game have the colony ship ready and waiting at the indy colony before you do the last gift to get 100 % colonization success chance.

I was able to go to manual on the new planet which was not storing any Cuprica and added a minimum. This resolved the issue. But I should have been able to source from my other planet. @zgrssd Thanks for the help!

Ok, tried that. Just like all my other colony ships, the one I built manually at my planet is unable to pick up passengers.

That doesn't sound right. Can you maybe post your save? I wonder what's going on.

You have to change your game settings and lower the distance between Space Stations. I think the default is population of 1 million and range of 1 million or something like that. So if it's too close to another space station, you can't build another until you change it to a smaller distance.

I set mine to 0 so that I can build multiple stations in the same system.

Look at the RESOURCES SHORTAGES
left side bottom down, when you select a planet

IF YOU HAVE THE WORST BUG IN THE GAME

and check, if you could edit the amounts ...
this bug prevent the AI and human player to build anything related to that planet



Only known
WORKAROUND start the editor , delete the planet and rebuild it ...
the problem is, somehow after some hours playing, it is back

If you have this bug some INFOS here

Those are rules for the Automation, not for you as the player.

That bug is propably a marker.

Int32.MinValue is usually -2147483648
My guess is that it is used as a placeholder/marker.
Something like "I have not yet decided on a real value. i will do so when the resources become avalible."

If you encounter it in the real world, report it as as bug.
