AI no longer doing anything after 3 days in a save

Post by Aceprojectx »

As the topic suggests, the AI are no longer fielding large forces or purchasing ships. I noticed this when my HQ was losing money rapidly as raw resources were mostly being purchased while everything else was restricted trade with the main income being ship building. I assumed this was a bug and attempted to fire my shipbuilder but could not so I had to delete my shipbuilder modules, which allowed me to fire the ship builder; apparently the ship builder was bugged from me removing fab modules so I could rebuild them but afterwards AI is still not buying ships.

So I look around the system a bit, every faction has triple the resources than they started with but no one is building any ships and the only fights...despite multiple factions being at war....are a couple of fighters attacking a defense platform here or there. Even my Recycling Stations are struggling because they are in combat hotspots but have no scrap to grab outside the raw resource spawns.

So apparently the AI just decided they wanted universal peace all at once or this is a bug. I did update the beta in the middle of this save so IT MAY be the culprit but this would be difficult to reproduce due to the amount of time it took before this happened and it is possible I did not notice this until well after it was too late. (again, 72 hours in this save).

I did come across a similar problem before in older games but it was due to the AI running out of handles or something of that nature in games that went on too long so I considered that a possibility as well. Thank you for possibly looking into it and fixing the issue if it was not due to mid save updates.

Update: I was terraforming and once it was complete, factions started buying ships again, I did not know that the entire fab gets devoted to terraforming. I also saved and restarted the game, stayed off the map for a while and I started seeing ships again.
