[#4972] PHQ stops allowing setting of orders on some wares

[Sarios]

This has happened to me in 2 different saves now and it's very frustrating. At some point my PHQ just stops allowing me to update the trade orders for certain goods.

This occurs in unmodded game, with all expansions but Envoy installed. Running in English with the latest update on Steam.

We're not going to be able to even look into this with so little information. Please read the very first thread at the top of the forum, a couple of lines above the New Topic button you used to create this post, and provide the information requested there. The most important thing will be a link to a savegame demonstrating the problem, so that we can see what's happening rather than trying to guess.

Looks like your PHQ does not allow any trade orders with any container-type wares...not just specific wares like research-related ones. Hull Parts, Energy Cells, etc. are all blocked off. Nothing stands out to me - you have container storage installed (with more on the way), storage is not maxed (shouldn't matter anyways), and a manager assigned and is on-board at their station...

At first I thought potentially the research started to progress (material requirements met then timer started going), however the research is paused pending materials.

The last time this happened - did it happen with the same gamestart?

When was the last time you were able to setup container wares at the PHQ? Do you recall what you did between then and when you noticed you couldn't change anything anymore?

Do you have a save from before this happens?

When an unexplained in-game vanilla issue that others are not seeing happens it is sometimes best to suspect a game installation or save corruption. Have you verified your game installation since the last update (unlikely to help as Duncaroos tried your save on their installation) and have you tried going back more than the two definitely affected saves to see if the same issue shows up?

Also it might be worth double-checking in the PHQ Information screen and Logical Overview that all its container storage has not already been reserved or pre-allocated/limited.

The last time it happened was on the Emergence start. I ran SETA for about an hour and eventually it seems to have resolved itself. I BELIEVE this happens when you start a research which reorganizes your storage auto-allocation settings and you end up with an amount of goods that are in excess of your allocated storage. There doesn't seem to be a way to really fix it other than pass time for a rather long time, removing goods so that they are under the allocated storage does not immediately fix it. Building additional storage so everything is under allocated storage does not immediately fix it. It also affects more goods than just the ones that went over storage... but not ALL goods. Some goods I can view/add/remove trade orders, but many not.

Here's another game with the same issue.
