Has anyone ever lost a station after it was built?

Post by JStout »

This is the second time this has happened... Two different game starts... :evil:
First one was in 1.60.... Was building a 125 million Claytronics factory... Had the 2.0 update and wham it was blue... Got really upset started a new game...

This time in 2.21 .... I have 6 (S/M/L/XL) facilities. i have almost 9 Billion credits in the bank

I've been throwing these facilities up trying to burn some credits

I'm looking at the map and notice my mining ship's just sitting (Silent Witness 1 Owned By Argon)

Yep you guessed it.
My facility is now a (ARG Ship Technology Factory 1)
It's completely gone no record of it was mine
I paid for plot.. I used a Tel construction vessel.. Both mine were busy..

Thanks

Never had that happen to me. Very strange.
Maybe DM a mod as this is definately a bug.

Did you build these stations triggered by a mission? Since 2.? stations won't belong to you any longer after completing the mission.

If the game is unmodified, this is the only thing I can think of.

Currently 579 hours in my current playthrough, and I've never seen anything like this happen.

I got that after accepting a bunch of station construction missions. In the end, I have spent much more than I have earned for building it. After that I cancelled all of these missions. It is indeed infuriating. You should be able to command and expand these stations!!!

Hmmm, I've made at least a million on every one of them and most have been offered at around 3.5 million for the contract. I EMP bomb any production modules I need for free blueprints. I purchase the construction materials myself for near bottom dollar. I can usually build a dock/storage/prod station for about 1.2 to 1.5 million depending on the plot location they want. So 1 to 1.5 million to me once I'm paid.

These missions are real money-makers, but you have to build the strict minimum of what they ask for. If you start adding claytronics when they only ask for storage, you're gonna cringe.
And yeah, the station suddenly starting to transfer after an update also caught me off guard. I did have a hunch though, so I reloaded an earlier save and cancelled the construction of the last module needed for the mission completion. Then, I removed anything unnecessary, salvaged the material and rebuilt the station elsewhere. Only then I completed the build mission.
Now I'm curious to see what the NPC will do with a station with only storage and defense. Will it keep on being expanded? Will it be forgotten, or simply used as a bullet sponge to stop the xenon onslaught? :)
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.

So if I understand what you are telling me this has happen to you twice after 1.6 and 2.0. Did you get response from the devs and or did post in bug report section of these forums.

I went home and double checked.... It was my fault...
It was a station building mission... Probably was in the 1.6 version also.
I tried going back several saves and delete the mission..

I apologize for the confusion
Thank you
