[7.1 HF3] Minimum construction time for a module is 5 minutes - Possibly explained by insufficient construction drones.

Post by PV_ »

7.1 HF3, no mods.

Argon cross connection structure has 47 seconds build time. But being actually put within build area shows 5 minutes. As another person investigated the issue applies to any module which build time is below 5 minutes and unreasonably brings the time value up to 5 minutes + construction indeed takes this abnormal time. What essentially makes this bug a huge pain.
Also as was reported - bugged timer appeared after HF3.

Here is a save file with freshly launched custom start. Investigate for non-PHQ station build menu. But I'm certain the bug is common, so its quite a waste of time downloading the save. Just start the game with any cheap and fast to build module blueprint and put the module at the build area.

EDIT: I've juggled the issue a bit personally in station design start. And there a lot of mess. For example, Superfluid coolant has nominal build time - 7:49, while in fact it puts in queue with 40 minutes time. Good luck building stations, guys! 8)

To clarify, your builder has 30 build drones or more available?

That is what means setting up stations from blueprints only for a ling time :( When I first read about the issue I already forgot how it works and thought that timer sets to nominal one and when builder is assigned the timer increases if not enough drones. But in fact it works exactly opposite way. My bad.
