Shipyard stops building in 2.20 Building at 0%.

[Brenten007]

Yes, I am building another Arawn to test things out. Its at the PMC yard in Shady Vault, Plenty of material to fill the order, including drones and everything. No reason to stop and yet, building is again at 0% for over 5 hours, This should have been done in like 17 minutes,

The last thing it was doing before I started my order is a ship was pulling out and I waited for it to completely leave before I started the new ship (knowing some of the glitches in the game). In addition, I have about 16 ships under my command if that makes a difference. Most was captured of Titurel ships out in Devries.

In addition, its happens with Station building as well when there are no ships in the area of construction. Of course, I leave the system and come back and it works here. Tried it on the PMC and still no building.

I started an older game and started Arawn again, and it started building just fine.... Can we get a simple continue building buttons until this glitch is fixed???

Please fix this ASAP. I can deal with some of the other glitches but this one has got to go.

Thanks Brenten007

I also went to Eternal Dawn to build a ship and they were short on Reinforced Metal Platting and I went ahead and sold a part of my stock pile.

Log book reads, " Received Surplus of -5633902 Credits from Daborah Keppet.

What the heck does that mean?

By the way nice destroyer, I want one.

Tested the one in Eternal Dawn and it works fine. Just not the one in shady vault with full supplies.

The Ship Tech's in Albion in my game refuse to manufacgture anything which has caused a mass shortage of Pod Reactors, Fusion Reactors etc.

Are the Ship Tech's in yours doing the same?
Maybe that's why these aren't building?

I've also come across a similar bug where a ship wont build in Devries despite having full resources and a Fulmekron that took 10 hours to build in Omnicron's Shipyard.

Maybe that's why these aren't building? (I agree, and its a good possibility.)

One thing I have realized, it may or may not be true, they don't list the drones as a shortage. Which I checked and drones are not on the list of resources. I figured they would at least build the rest of the ship and tell you about the drones later. I checked the shipyard and they were ordering them at Shady Vault because I order up the carrier. I just started supplying the Shipyard with the drones and seeing if that makes a difference. They said that they had it in stock when I was building it, so it should have built. But I think the shipment never made it because the xenon ship might have destroyed the freighter while I wasn't there.

Just before I wrote this, I intercepted a xenon ship and destroyed it. I tried to save a mdir and it got blown up. Which lead me to think that the supplies might have been interrupted. Or some npc put in the order for a new ship, they got to the drones first before I built my ship. I wonder if that is the case. However, I'm not sure how true that is.

One time in Eternal Dawn, there was a Reinforces Metal Plating shortage. I am glad I have a station that makes that. I took a wooping 7500 and sold it in Eternal Dawn. The ship was built quickly after that and the rest of the shipyard came alive.

Going to sleep and will respond to any replies Wednesday Night EST. I have 2, 12 hour shifts and I have to go to sleep right when I get home Monday night. Any help will be appreciated. I sometimes wonder if its a bug or there is something else going on that they didn't tell us about.

Just as an aside, it might be useful to upload a savegame with the issue so others can look at it, if you have time.

You can find your saves in your documents folder, under "Egosoft\X Rebirth\[ID]\save".

If you compress a relevant save in a .zip or something, upload it, then post a link to it here, folks might be able to look into the issue further. No guarantees or anything, but it might mean you get help faster.

I think I figured why ship don't build. We have to wait for the ship dealer to finish with the warning that there is no going back message first before I hit ok. I realized this last time I was in a rush to get the ship built. I tried it at the other stations without being so fast and it works fine. If any of you have some time, please try it and see if this is the case in your game. If so, we found the issue. Please for the love of god create a backup save for your game before trying this... Thanks in advance.
