[2.0.28] Rocket silos not launching

Post by rvnl »

Hi,

Just ran into an issue where all rocket-silo's got stuck and did nothing anymore, nothing being delivered to space platforms, even though they were requesting stuff (and ALL of them were at nauvis). The silo's themselves were full of items, ready to be sent, but they just weren't going.

This happened earlier on too on the same version (v2.0.28), but at that time didn't make a save. This time I did though, see this drive folder (there's a zip with the save, and one with the logs): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... drive_link

I did nothing when this happened, literally. I left it running last night, then all was fine, went to work the entire day, just came home and found it like this.

The only way to get this "unstuck" (well, sort of, I still haven't gotten them 'unstuck' as of yet) is to start fiddling with the rocket-silo's. What I did to get them back up and running was disable auto-requests from platforms, wait a few seconds, then enable it again. This mostly causes the rockets to start firing again.
Unfortunately, it's not consistent, sometimes they'll then fire once or twice and then get stuck again...


Version: 2.0.28
Save & logs, see drive link -> https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... drive_link

Platform Zr.Ms Kerstmis' hub is full and is hoarding all rocket silos.

Duplicate of 121228 Automatic requests from space platforms does not launch rockets automatically.

Thanks for the report. The issue is: almost all of your silos are locked into providing items for one platform called "Zr.Ms Kerstmis" but its inventory is full so they can't launch. This blocks all of those silos from providing items for other platforms that want things.
