Unknown ships in construction queue?
So are those bad? Do they take up my production slot? What are those? Should I cancel them? They never ever progress.

Hi KopiG,
Most likely it is "unknown" because you have not yet encountered any of that type and hence did not get an encyclopedia entry. Concerning the construction progress it's usually a shortage of resources.

Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
Nope - I have all ships discovered and all blueprints in universe but I constantly got unknown ships in my shipyards and wharfs.
I have ablslutely no idea why these ships are marked "unknown".
Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
Nope. Im insanely stocked at my megashipyard. I have discovered ALL ships.
Yes so its probably a bug and should be reported.

Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
It has been.
However, their problem ceased when they obtained all the blueprints.
Of course 'unknown' could also mean 'unallocated' in the sense that say as an example ship types/loadouts X and Y are in the queue but need different resourcing, while the station doesn't know in which order their construction will become fully-resourced and commence as yet. So it could be X then Y, or Y then X.

Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
Ahhh thank you! Damn its a bad bug then if it holds up my queue according to that bug report. I only have a few ship blueprints bought so far. So I guess I just need to wait for a fix.Alan Phipps wrote: ↑Sun, 30. Aug 20, 18:35It has been.

Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
There is no need to worry. About 70~80% of the ships my shipyard constructs for the AI show up as "unknown ship" in the construction queue, but they'll be displayed with their normal name once the production finishes and they leave the construction dock.
Just treat it as "The workers lost the paperwork to look up what serial number this ship is supposed to have, but they'll figure it out once the customer comes to get their new ship".
Also, as far as I know the AI NEVER starts ordering/constructing a ship at your shipyards/wharfs if you don't have all the neccessary blueprints, so don't worry about production getting stuck because of missing blueprints.
Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
Yep in my experience the game will cue up Unknown ships one by one until it fills the cue and then nothing else gets produced.
imho it shouldn't happen, the game should not be ordering ships on behalf of other factions unless you have the blueprints for them.
Fingers crossed they will fix it, next time I start a new game (probably after Cradle of Humanity releases), I seriously dont want to have to go and buy every blueprint in the game again just to prevent blocked order cues.I only have a few ship blueprints bought so far. So I guess I just need to wait for a fix.
Meanwhile all you can do besides getting every blueprint, is right click the unknown ship and cancel the order .. But beware when you have to annoyingly do a load of them (sometimes cancelled orders for unknown ships get immediately replaced with even more unknown orders) you will try to start doing it quicker, and then along comes an order you want immediately after you right click and your left mouse click to select then falls on the shuffle of the list to cancel the wrong one which has become a ship you want to produce. Fun, not.
I got so pee'd off with it I just went and bought everything, cost about 4 days real time building up about six times 4 billion (for each Faction reps' whole list .. well minus the ones already bought which are generic with all reps).
Maybe its coincidental that buying all blueprints made the problem go away? .. idk.

Trouble is if you want to complete the games missions, and maybe are under threat of the Xenon blocking your access to the source of a few of the split ships (and the monumental wait for them to get resources to complete the builds due to trade routes being cut off) <This was the situation which was threatening my progress>, then you are better off getting everything so you can roll your own fleets. I still haven't got to finishing the missions yet, now that I have the wharfs and shipyards the Xenon started getting stronger again so now I am still endeavoring to put the Xenon back in their box
Anyway a bit off topic, but the above will be relevant for people out there going through similar circumstances, for others it may not even become a concern depending on how the game randomly progresses.
The devs have my save file in the other topic though so hopefully will be looking into it at some point.

Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
I noticed the same thing at my Mega Shipyard. I have every blueprint and fully stocked resources and my shipyard is set to only allow my own property to order ships but there was a string of "unknown" ships in the queue anyway. I think the orders went in during the few minutes it took me to set the shipyard trade rules then just sat there in the queue. I canceled them all and they did not reoccur that I have noticed.

It's still doing it
Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
I always thought they were SCA ships in construction.
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.
Some people never develop beyond this stage.

Re: Unknown ships in construction queue?
Just finished my first ever wharf yesterday and noticed this too. At first i thought it was a missing blueprint issue as my wharf wasn't building anything at all even after i supplied it with all the necessary materials. Afterwards i noticed i had no build drones. Once i got those the unknown ships changed and proved to be teladi fighters which then also started building and selling.
It does however keep showing me unknown ships in the queue until i get everything stocked up again, then they just start building without any issues.
