Plot assigned to current sector instead of target sector

Post by NobodysNightmare »

Steps to reproduce
1. Be in sector A with your current ship
2. allocate station plot in sector B
3. PLan a station and order a construction ship

Expected behaviour
After 2, the station gets a default name including sector B.
After 3, the construction ship approaches sector B and this is where your station ends up

Actual behaviour
After 2, the station gets a default name including sector A. The plot position is indicated correctly on the map.
As soon as the construction ship reaches the correct sector, the plot for the station moves to sector A (map indication), right to the edge to sector B (closest point to the postion that you wanted, but in the wrong sector).

Also a bad sign while the construction ship is approaching (map indicator still on the right position): Getting travel directions to the station plot lead to a course via sector A, even if you are right next to the expected plot position.

Environment
Version: 1.5
Language: German
Vanilla (no mods)
Start: Black Sun (Schwarze Sonne)

Note
I currently play a save game that now has a such "broken" factory, which I just abandoned. On fixing this issue, it would be nice if that would not ruin my save game, e.g. by correcting the position of the broken station right on top of my new, legitimate station... I'd (personally) be fine with the broken station remaining in its position and optionally having a way to get rid of it...

Can you just send a builder to remove all the modules except a the dock then send a ship to destroy the dock that is left after its all done?

I will check, but probably no module has been built yet.
Since I noticed the problem while getting materials organized, I stopped all deliveries and withdrew the money from the station. So it expect nothing to be built, but the construction ship to be on-site.

I'll get back to you with my findings...

I did some screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/MNfuCc5

The station is situated in the right hand sector, without anything constructed yet and the good station is roughly where the bad one was supposed to be (left sector):

Flying there (quite far out from actual core of right hand sector) I find nothing visible...
construction ship is not there...

but I can shoot at my invisible factory and hit it (note the right laser beam hits while the left one misses), though hull max is indicated as ??? in map info:
