Non player owned AI stuck and shipbuilding halt

[InHisName]

Hey all.

Was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with an Ai ship (not one of mine) stuck in the dock of a factory. The factory in question was an engine parts factory which i suspect is causing a shortage of engine parts blocking any new ships i try to build.

Additionally I have gone to every wharf of the major factions (TEL, ANT, ARG, HOP, and whatever the other faction is) and NONE of them will allow me to build or upgrade ships. Equipment docks as well. When i go to build a ship i get the green 'everything ok' message and submit the order, with no progress even after hours.

Any idea whats going on? Should i restart and hope it wont happen again? Im really into the game so far but this is really making things frustrating and halting any progress I can make.

Game is now modded, however, all issues were the same before modding. I modded a few things to try an alleviate the issues im having with the shipbuilding and lack of pilot xp gain.

Any advice or help would be appreciated so i can keep going.

Unfortunately by modding the game you have made it impossible to ask the devs to investigate your save to see what is really going on with that stuck NPC ship. If you can detail the exact station and module plus the trapped ship location using screenshots then one of the station model devs could perhaps check out the integrity of the station module's model at that location.

There are several other active threads on inability to build ships and lack of resource wares (here and in the main X4 forum) that you might find useful to browse through.

Good luck.

Here are some screenshots of the factory and the ship in question.

Update: So apparently i left the game running while i was away and when i maximized the game again one of my ships had finished building. This makes me believe that ships will at least be able to be built after some considerable time. Will need to test to see if upgrading ships will work eventually too.

Something seems wrong with the AI of the trader vessel. Perhaps the station does not have enough stock to produce the parts the trader is waiting for? The problem is that the station will not be able to receive stuff with that ship docked there.

Sorry I misunderstood your opening post. When you said stuck in the dock, I thought you meant the ship was stuck in the model of the station and blocking the approach to the dock for other ships rather than actually being properly docked there. I was going to suggest going OOZ/OOS to see if it freed itself of the station model!
