Unable to build new ships after repairing my own ship at shipyard

Post by fung21 »

I swapped all staffs on that ship when it was repairing, is that cause a bug.
The repairing finished and I found my ship undocked, but still cannot buy ships from NPC, and it is blank to view the available resource.Can it be fixed with editing the save file? :(

Take a look at the Ship dealer. Is there still some info, about the the ship you repaired?

I had one of my titurels block the whole Shipyard. Dealer was waiting for it to dock but is was already undocked. No idea what happened there. I think I ordered it to repair or get drones while in my squad and I was docked to it. Then ordered it to leave my squad after it got the order to dock. Then I did some other stuff. Suddenly the ship was near me again and in my squad. When returning to the Shipyard it was blocked.

That was how I somehow produced this.

I solved it by selling the Ship. Shortly after, the Dealer was available again.

... Crappy workaround .... I know.

This can happen if you "mess with" a ship that is in the shipyard. Best to make sure they are finished before giving any new orders.

This worked for me (or there was a fix in V3.00):
Order the ship to return to that sector, or leave it there if it was already. Leave the sector, youself, then go do other things for a while. Mine was ok the next day, but apperently the original ship needs to be close to the shipyard.

If no luck, others have also suggested to: Order it to leave squad / join squad. Tell the captain to come back aboard skunk and than tell captain to work on ship again. Or these just might break it...

There also might be a process in V3.00 that checks for such things and fixes them, once in a while. Some have seen this maybe happen, including me. But if it is true, then it runs very slow.
