[1319][3.10 - 4.10 B4] NPC Shipyards and Wharfs Very Few Construction Drones - Fixed in b5.

Post by RoverTX » Sat, 17. Jul 21, 01:01

Noticed in my game @ version 3.10 that some Shipyards and Wharfs are missing or have very few construction drones. For instance the ARG Shipyard in Argon Prime has only 3 construction drones, even though it has the materials to build more. It has been this way for a very long time. I only noticed the ARG Shipyard because when ever I ordered ships from it they took forever. Some other Wharfs and Shipyards have the same issue, while others have plenty.

Cross posting this here because I just wanted to point out this is still an on going issue as of the 4.10 B4 with my save at least. Here is a new save version and some addition screen shots showing the Argon Prime Shipyard has it's target drone amounts are just this low. All the shipyards and wharfs effected by this makes it so their faction is Xenon chow unless I supply their ships for them because they take so long to build new fleets.

Verified the fix works from 5.00 B5 works. On load the NPC stations built their missing construction drones.
[Beta 5] Fixed some NPC stations not having, or wanting, sufficient drones.
Note this will have the following effects on the game

1. Factions will be able to better recover from attacks on their shipyards and wharfs.

2. Faction ship builds will be more consistent.

3. Ships being built faster means more battles and more opportunities for profits before the player has their own shipyard.

4. Defense drones will be more consistently deployed.

This is awesome thanks for tracking this down!
