Construction robots not constructing but will repair

Post by pendar »

So i have the issue in my main base as well however it is also now occurring in the outpost bases i have, for some reason the construction bots will not build the structures and they are staying as ghosts and in main base my modules will not be put into the chem plants, any suggestions?

(see attached image and game save)

edit, after some time the things did start constructing ... HOWEVER the modules are still bugged and its been well over a few hours so there no reason they should not have been filled in

Don't give them hundreds of orders they can not fulfil.

They can't fill the orders - there is not enough concrete to fill all those orders in first place.
So you have thousands of concrete ghosts that are slowly filled and bots can only process so many ghosts per tick. So it takes time to go through all of them. And in most cases they end up with "no more concrete" and build nothing and process repeats.

You can grab deconstruction planner, filter by tile ghost (in section with ? icon) and remove all the scheduled concrete. Then lie it in reasonably sized patches and wait for bots to do them while making sure you have enough concrete on hand to place all planned tiles.

When I loaded the save there was a monit about some prod modules missing. after sorting out the concrete and rest being built.
MAybe double check if there is no disconnect of roboport network. And there are actual modules being produced in that same network.
