Ship will not build

JamesJB · Post by **JamesJB** » Sat, 23. Nov 13, 09:11

Hi I am trying to build a Bulk Freighter for the past 3 hours but for some reason it wont build,i can see that it is in the dock yard.

When I look at the ship builder list it doesn't even show 0%,i really need it to build cause I want to build a construction ship.

THe place is in Shady Vault and I am in freeplay.

Please help

I'm not sure about this, but it think it's something to do with the patch, the reasoni am saying that is I currently have an npc ship sitting at 50% constructed in one dock, and one of my ships is in for repair in another dock, but thats now sitting at 138% hull, and neither of them have moved since i allowed the patch to install.

Its pretty far from where I am.

I have the same problem, but it started before the 1.16 patch.

I did build 2 ships (freighters) and the 3rd one is staying on 0%. Docks are free, there was enough material and I had the money. No idea why it doesn't happen.

I cant build a constructor, but this is due to not enough constructor URV's in stock I think. The stock level of those is 4 and now the constructor options is greyed out.

I had no problems building a rahanas.

Are there enough resources to build?

No resources no ship.

Supply them shipwrights.

Although it would be nice if the ship dealers would warn in front that they lack the raw mats.

If I remember correctly it is checked before the order is made final. It shows a list of components and I believe it is said by the ship builder too.

But I cant check now since this queue is blocking a new ship building order.

The Ships list doesn't have 0% next to the ship i'm trying to build.

I do see a outline of the ship in the dockyard though.

Hmmm If your seeing the ship outline in the dock, then the process of construction has started, but then paused for some reason from the sounds of it. Obviously If an NPC ship is being build but has stopped for whatever reason you cannot queue one up until theirs is finished. The ship dealer wont even give any options apart from build ship.

It doesn't matter now I decided to restart Freeplay for patch 1.17,,had about 20 hours I think lol.

I still notice the drones that you buy when you build a ship are still going fast lol.

Curious any way to tone down the ore dust in Shady Vault? cause after a while my graphics start to go nuts

I mean slow down to like lag if I stay there to long.
