Have 9k "hull parts" - ship needs 5k - build says i need 1.5k more !?

[swatti]

My factory has full storage of 9000+ "hull parts" and the Chassis of a Behemoth needs ~5000'ish... Yet the build screen says i need ~1500 more hull parts.

I haven't got a shipyard myself yet, but could it be some of your stock has been reserved by another ship?

That's what happens. Owen said in multiple threads in support that that UI display is inaccurate and will be improved. It shows the net lack of the build queue, not the actual shortage per order.

Umm... Does that mean its "reserved" by another ship? No other ships on the que or dock...

Please check the logical interface or how its called and see if there are more orders pouring in and eta to it.
Storage currently displays all inbound orders, grand total (Vanilla ver 2.0).
The logical interface ( inside your factory/Warf ) gives more intel when/who and the amount is coming or expected to be.

Cheers,

Had a distantly related thing happen when I sent a ship to add some crew. Was told order would be delayed due to shortage of several materials. I can see a problem if there was a shortage of crew on the station.
I took this to mean I was on a repair cue and items for repairs of other ships where needed before my ships could be serviced. Have no way of knowing if these was the case. Tried to get crew anyway and that ship sat there for hours.

Please provide me with a savegame of this situation.

When traders come to buy things it reserves them for the ship en route. You can demonstrate this by telling one of your freighters to pick up from your factory, then get in it and dock it yourself, you won't be able to trade the wares you just told it to pick up, because they're reserved by the order.

If your factory is selling hull plates as well as using them to build, check the ware in the logical overview and see if there are any traders en route.

Can't confirm it. I have sent several times ships for getting ONLY additional crewmembers at docks that had marked 'yellow' ressources being missing. Those orders were instantly served after arrival of the ship. I was particularly keen on observing the situation because at the first time I needed asap a Marine to take over an abandoned ship. I only saw after giving the correspondent orders to the "ferry" that the Wharf had missing resources (a lot btw). But all went smoothly; I have therefore repeated this 'operation' since. But of course you mustn't mix other Upgrades with picking up crewmembers.
