Smart Chips disappear?

Post by MRW1971 »

Working on building a self sufficient S/M wharf (not finished yet) and I'm noticing a serious problem since the 2.60 update. The smart chips in production disappear as soon as they're built.

To be clear, they are NOT being traded or sold, they're vanishing. I had a decent stockpile but as soon as I added the S/M fabrication module to the overview they continuously vanish as son as they're built.

Any idea what's going on here? I won't be able to build ships one the wharf is done if this isn't resolved.

Perhaps they're being used to build drones for the station?

Couple of things

-Over 1000 of them disappeared, and the modules that would use them are not built yet (both are in the build plan but not done yet)

-This is also affecting hull parts. Re-tried from a previous save and shortly after adding the S/M fabrication module over 1300 hull parts disappeared, and inventory for them will not go above 352.

Both parts are restricted from trading and are literally vanishing from viewing the logical overview twice within a minute (more like 30 seconds.)

This is my first attempt at posting a save so here goes :)

The S/M fabrication (ValCorp Wharf) is the issue. In this save Smart Chips are OK for now but over 1300 hull parts disappeared and inventory does not go above 352.

Hello
I has the same problem on my first Wharf, that was started building just before 2.60 at it is still not complete - but maybe those smart chips was used to build station drones and station missiles .... but who knows? It was quite low amount per hour .... maybe 400 or something like it.

I solved it by build more smart chip modules on wharf. Maybe some other wares is missing too but it is hard to say - because they are already consumed by final modules.
