Required Information in all Technical Support Requests

Please ensure that you provide the following information for all questions posted in this Technical Support forum.
  • Version and language (e.g. 8.00 Hotfix 3, English, etc.).
  • Whether or not your game is modified using any third party scripts or mods (see note below).
  • The game start you originally selected for the game in which the problem occurred.
  • Exact nature of the problem, where and when it occurs and what you were doing at the time.
  • Any possibly relevant changes you have made to your game, system, or software before the issue occurred.
  • Where appropriate, additional symptoms, error messages, links to saves, screenshots and crash dump files (see this Wiki entry).
  • Your system specifications in the form of a DxDiag report and vulkaninfo (see this Wiki entry).
Failure to provide all this information will make it pretty much impossible for people to help you and may mean that it takes longer for your problem to be identified and hopefully solved. So please don't waste your own time and everyone else's by just posting something like "My game freezes. Help!!!".

If you are supplying information that will not conveniently fit into posts in this forum (approx 70,000 character limit per post), in the worst case you can split long text files across 2 consecutive posts, or ideally you can upload the data to a reputable public fileshare site (a few examples are Google Drive, DropBox or PasteBin, etc) but please don't use sites that spam advertising or require registration for downloads. Please use in your post the open public sharing link to your file(s) that will not require any account or registration for others to download.

Note: Support for third party modifications must be provided by the authors of those modifications, and any requests for such support should be posted in the appropriate thread in the Scripts and Modding forum.

[#5947] Automatic Storage Allocation displays/allocates 0 m³

Post by Profitssss »

Game Version: X4: Foundations v9.0

Game Type: Vanilla (no mods)

Description:

After updating to version 9.0, my production stations and shipyard show "Automatically allocated capacity: 0 m³" for produced wares even though Automatic Storage Allocation is enabled.

The station has approximately 4.4 million m³ of free container storage (21 million m³ total), so storage is not full.

Examples of affected wares include:

Missile Components
Smart Chips
Engine Parts
Hull Parts
Other produced wares

For each affected ware:

Automatic Storage Allocation is enabled.
Automatically Allocated Capacity displays 0 m³.
Red warning icons are shown in the Logical Overview.

This behavior started after updating to version 9.0 and persists even after leaving the station running for several hours.

Expected Behaviour:
Automatic Storage Allocation should reserve storage space for produced wares when there is ample free container storage available.

Actual Behaviour:
Produced wares continue to display 0 m³ Automatically Allocated Capacity despite millions of m³ of free container storage.

Additional Information:

Vanilla game (no mods).
The issue first appeared after updating to version 9.0.
I can provide a save file if required.

Additional Reproducible Behaviour

While investigating the storage allocation issue, I found another reproducible problem.

Steps to Reproduce:

Disable Automatic Storage Allocation.
Select a ware and manually set its storage allocation to Maximum.
Disable Auto Buy for that ware.

Expected Behaviour:

The manually selected storage allocation should remain at the value chosen by the player.

Actual Behaviour:

The moment Auto Buy is disabled, the storage allocation immediately resets itself back to the Preferred Allocation value without any further input. The manual allocation is overridden instantly.

This occurs immediately when Auto Buy is toggled off and does not require waiting for the station manager to update.

I do not know if this behaviour is intentional, but it appears to be related to the storage allocation issue described above and may indicate that the station manager is overriding manual storage settings.

Please link a vanilla save that shows the issue happening when you load it.
