This is probably pretty low priority. There seems to be an invalid platform construction request that has persisted for a while. It seems to be visual only in the interface, as the ship has otherwise flown and made and cleared other construction requests perfectly fine. There are spare tiles available but they haven't been placed, also I attempted to filtered deconstruct tile ghosts across the entire surface but there don't seem to be any.

Unfortunately I don't know when or how it reached this state, this platform has been through a number of weird situations including mass cut/paste to move the hub, getting half destroyed and almost stranded, and I also had an assembler building more platform from asteroids for a while that may have also confused some requests. Maybe I forced it to move on from a planet without giving it time for a rocket launch to arrive, and/or had construction requests coming from a different planet than the configured ship inventory resupply?

This save file does date back to the closed beta too, so I also can't rule out a faulty migration or old bug being behind this.

Thanks for the report. It's possible there' is still some bug with the construction requests however I'm not able to reproduce anything in this instance. If you happen to notice any additional oddities in the future or figure out how to get it into a weird state let me know.

I have a platform that is in this state. It stays with a "8 foundation" construction request no matter what I do, even after it grabs 50 foundations. It's a post-launch save.

I'm not sure how I got there either. I was trying to build something with walls (shift+clicking) close to either a grabber or a thruster, and then I removed it?

Would sharing the save help?

I actually figured out shortly after this last night how this was happening and fixed it for the next release.
