[2.0.12] Rocket not launching automatically to space platform

Post by TheKid0z »

The space platform named "cruiser" is parked above Nauvis and has logistic requests turned on. The rocket on Nauvis has all the materials required in the cargo slot delivered by bots but does not automatically launch. It was stuck like this for at least 10hrs. I have attached the pictures of when i logged back in and encountered the bug and the save file named "cargo delivery bug"

The game is hosted on a dedicated server. I went back and checked all the save files to figure out when the problem started occurring. I loaded the autosaves on my PC.
Autosave 29 to 43 when i load it on my computer the problem does not fix itself. But it only fixes itself if i open "Map" by pressing M and going to the ship "cruiser" upon which the ship immediately trashes excess inventory. But if i dont "watch" the ship it never dumps its trash inventory. (I have attached 3 files to prove my point) In these saves the final 100 concrete is automatically delivered if a player views the ship remotely.

Autosave 44 is where the inventory is already trashed but the last 100 concrete never launches. After this save the bug is persistent for another 5 hours until i logged in and noticed with the save "cargo delivery bug.zip"

Three things to watch when loading the saves.
1. "Cruiser is the name of the space platform it is easily accessible as the last entry in the space platforms.
2. The rocket where the "100 concrete" is stuck is located at the bottom right of the silo group. This rocket will launch in autosave 29 - 43 if you remote view the space platform.
3. In Autosave 44 and the Bug.zip the rocket is stuck.

Now why does it "fix" itself in Autosave 29 to 43 i do not know. I suspect this is the work of the feature factorio has where the game freezes biters and regions that are not in radar/logistics range. Perhaps the space platforms logistics network are not loaded in when a save is launched. Also initially if you notice in Autosave 29-43 the rocket does not deliver the cargo because there is no space on the platform but the platform will trash the excess inventory when you remote view it. It frees up slots. Then the rocket launches.

Edit: To add further. The space platform is indeed stuck above nauvis in all the saves ive shared. This is not something where the ship moved to a different planet and back. Since the only purpose of this ship is to deliver cargo to Aquilo you may view the mini map of Aquilo the concrete is never delivered. Thus proving that its not something to do with the logic of the ship but its a game bug. If this was a logic issue it wouldn't have different behavior in different saves.
