Bug? Drones stuck to collect wares

Post by ztarakan »

I assign drones to collect wares from dead ships and set "repeat", but drones collect it only once and then idle. After i move collection zone in 1-2 pixels its start again and then idle again. All orders correct, but something wrong. No mods or any save edit, game 7.50 (553255), all DLC on

save https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rKAmI- ... sp=sharing

please help to solve

Here not so much, since this is the vanilla gameplay forum where players question, exchange comments and advise. Devs might well dip into topics here with titles that interest them and that is why feature requests belong here. Bug reports in Tech Sp with all the supporting information and vanilla saves do get read by the devs or their coordinators although not every post/thread there will be replied to.

I can move the thread with just the first post to Tech Sp if you wish.

Just in passing, the repeat order requires a one star level ship taking into account the aggregate of all crew skills - is [can that be] the case for a drone?

This stuff works best OOS. When you have repeat orders and are not there in person. Because drones can get stuck in ship while pathing, and it does not happen OOS.

The problem was that drones work, but after some cycles - stop.

They just stop work, only if move "collect point" by hand.

That might imply that on each reissue/change of the order they start and work just the one full cycle after the change - just as if the repeat behaviour order wasn't there. That's why I wanted to confirm if repeat can work for drones with no apparent crew or skills. Has repeat ever worked fully on drones for you?

I'll leave this here while we are discussing such aspects.

I believe this issue may be fixed in the Public Beta.
Can you see if the issue persists in the Beta?
