Construction Ship Bug - Mission Plot Build URV Forge

[FredyKyong]

Hello all,

I am stuck with this mission Plot to build the URV Forge.

In the previous mission there was this free Construction Mission Ship who seems the only one to build the URV Forge.

I lost that Construction Ship 1 min after I undocked by enemy fire and I could do nothing to save it.

So I moved on and I build a new Construction Ship. One in DeVries (who can not build URV station at all) and I build one in Albion who can build URV stations but not the URV Forge.

So how can I end the plot now (no games saves left)?

Is there a station who can rebuild the URV Forge Construction Ship?
Do I have only to hire a specific architect to do that?
Is there a game mod/ save game hack somwhere so I can get the previous destroyed Construciton ship back?

Any help would be great!

Thanks a bunch

I have exactly the same problem. I too lost the free construction vessel so had another one built in Darned Hot Air only to find there was no option to build the forge.

I have the same problem the only good thing is I still have the ship but it is building a station and is taking forever. I'm now going to assign it its own cargo ship and see if that helps..

When it takes forever you could have three problems:

1) The Construction Ship is waiting for resources. If so, go to your save game editor. Go to your ships, then click the construction ship. Select Construction Wares and set all to 0.

2) You are maybe using too much Construction URV drones. I use not more as 15 cause I had some problems once using more. If any NPC ship gets in the way of the drones the building will stop. You have many drones out, then the chance is higher a NPC ship gets in their way.

Check with your architect in your construction plan. Below is a red message when the construction holds for any reason.

3) Any of your ships in fleet (or yourself) are too close to the construction site. I usullay watch the construction and I park my Albion Shunk right behind the construction ship, nowhere else. Get all other ships you may have in fleet out of the fleet (except the construction ships), so your fleet does not get to close to the construction site.

One module to build should not take longer as 10-15 min.

This way worked for me with other constructions.

Well, back to the missing and the "one and only" Construction Ship to build the URV Forge:

I did just rinse and repeat and played all the missions again from the beginning. One day lost.

Because the Construction Ship possible will be destroyed again I did this:

Shortly before you meet the fleet and before your team enters the Taranis set the Reputation with the Plutach Mining Corp to Neutral

Do this before you speak with Yisha and B E F O R E you dock the first time on the Construction Ship!

To do this you have to work with the Save Game Editor. Go to the Reputation Tab and set ->

Ren Otani -> Plutach Mining Corp from something like
-0.103 to 0.0032
then
Plutach Mining Corp -> Ren Otani from something like
-0.103 to 0.0032

Save all with the editor and restart your game and load the save set.

This will turn all Plutach Ships and Station in their sector from red to blue and it wont attack you or the Construction Ship anymore. Then follow the mission plot and before you use the jump gate to Devries go back to your Save Game Editor and add about 1000 (or more) Fuel cells to the Construction Ship so it can jump. Save everything again and then jump to DeVries after you have all your ships in fleet.

After you finished the food mission you can start building the Forge Station.

Mine is up now.

However, building it took longer as 15 minutes for the first module. (About 30 to 40 min)

To watch the progress talk to the Architect in your Construction Ship and open the construction plan. While building the progress in % will go up. You can even leave the windows pop up open to watch it.

As soon you finished building the station the mission is done, no matter you attach defense or other modules. It does also not need a Manager yet to finish this mission. Later on you have to add a Manager, as I did read somewhere. But don´t add the Manager at this stage!

Later on you need other extension up to the URV Landing Zone/dock. If this is not build the mission plot gets stuck later on. If this module is build you can add the Manager.

If you add more modules later it can take hours. Always go back to your Save Game Editor after you started the next module, set the wares to 0, save, then restart and see how the module attachment gets build.

If you want to buy the wares to build then it may take longer but of course this is all your choice. I just wanted to have this station up now.

Good luck
