Player traders not docking at build storage

[Solus]

Hi, firstly thanks to Egosoft for a really amazing job, the scope/ambition/potential of X4 is unbelievable and with a bit of UI lipstick and rough edge polishing it'll be perfect (for me at least) and great for another 200 hours.

So I've been able to get round all the little kinks so far but this one has left me helpless after 2? hours of trying all sorts of things. Basically my own (M plus one L) traders won't dock and exchange wares at my build storage. They just circle around endlessly while my hull and claytronics factories run out of storage. So I selected all the traders, cancelled all their orders, moved them away a bit, and tried to manually direct them one by one to drop their materials off. Sometimes one will automatically get a 'dock at' order before 'exchange wares' and he then works OK. The others that go straight to 'exchange wares' and just fly around.

Probably irrelevant other details - this is a large complex but not the largest I have built and all the others have been OK. There used to be an SCA drug factory at the location, but I blew it to bits with some behemoths I captured from the SCA. I didn't start my build/claim a plot until their grey factory icon had fully disappeared. I tried to sit inside one of the traders (watched pot always boils -thing) but he still just circled around or crashed into the geometry. I tried to manually dock at storage but couldn't see how. The traders were left neglected for a few hours while my personal attention was focussed on a little raid vs a Xenon defence platform, so I have overwritten any saves from before confirming the build and assigning mammoth. If I tell one of the traders to deposit at an unrelated, finished build storage, he also goes straight to 'exchange wares' but then delivers correctly (ie does not need 'dock at' to work).

Version 1.3 English, Argon, no mods, no hardware changes. Any help would be appreciated, in the meantime I will try to blow up my own build storage, kill the builder, assign funds for AI traders (zero at the moment since I have tons of hull and clay but not much cash), start another identical factory and report back if anything works.

Just a quick update - so murdering the mammoth or destroying the storage didn't help, nor did upgrading everyone to a docking computer mk2. There is some pathfinding error here and the only solution I have so far is to set one single ware transfer , fly each ship manually into the build storage 'claws' with the red dots, get up, wait for the NPC pilot to sit down and check the order queue. It should say "waiting for signal", if you then reduce the time on that from infinity to 1 minute, after 1 minute the AI pilot will dock and transfer the wares ("dock at appears in the order queue for a second or two). It's an OK workaround if you have one or two ships, but it's not practical for a dozen especially if the hull and clay is nearby and the ships rotate quickly back and in the meantime you got SCA behemoths molesting your miners at the worst moment. The only solutions was to start a carbon copy of the whole factory and just write off the parts already in the old build storage and the plot licence cost (if not an unclaimed sector)
