[BUG] Station Building and Claiming Sectors

[Sam L.R. Griffiths]

There is a bug in the station building if the plot is laid down then changed prior to assigning a builder.

In my case, I had placed single plots in various sectors with an initial default plan. The first 2 sectors changed ownership find but then I found it was taking too long so I revised my plans BUT when I changed the plans it wanted to delete and re-add the administrative centre despite it not having changed position, orientation, or order.

Further to this when I revised the plans, I got instant "upkeep missions" to provide the relevant stations with managers despite them not having being built yet nor having anywhere to deliver them.


I guess I can add a second plot with fresh blueprints to claim the additional sectors but it is a bit ridiculous that this should be necessary.

Update
Placing a second station plot down causes the game to recognise the first "Claiming Station" as it should have been before the second plot was placed. The second plot does not need to have construction started for the first plot to be recognised properly.

Yes, I was just about to write a similar bug.

In my case I claimed a sector (Silent Witness XI) and all went well. But later on I built a different one in another sector and saved the layout, as it was a little bit better than the first one I went to the first plot and applied the new layout. This prompted for a "full rebuild" (basically it shifted the station a little bit to the right) and when the Construction ship started the work the sector became Unclaimed again. I waited for the station to finish constructing (save in this status) but the sector was still unclaimed.

After that as suggested by @Roger L.S. Griffiths I added a second defense station and the sector became claimed again even before the station was built.

Yes, I agree with all of this and have seen the same thing.

I booted HoP out of Pontifex's (the one connected to pious mist). I created a plot, putting down the Admin Center first followed by disc platforms and docks. They actually came after my Admin Center while I was still killing their stations and platforms and managed to destroy it.

I started construction on a backup whilst the first one was repairing, at which point I had removed all of their defenses.

The first one completed but the sectore remained theirs. When the second one completed the sector was claimed. Its possible it was due to them destroying it and it technically not being the first item in the original plot but I suspect its the same bug as in the OP.

A further update regarding the second plot... it must be added to the sector AFTER the Administrative centre has been constructed and possibly after the first dock that is attached to the Administrative centre has been built.

In addition, editing an existing "other plot" in the sector will not workaround the sector claim bug. It must be a completely new plot and it may need to have an administrative centre in the new plot's plan.
