SOLVED: Bug? "Missing material for construction"?

Post by factoriodrew »

Hi!

I've played about 20 hours of Factorio and can't seem to get ghosting or blueprints to construct anything.

The only mod I'm using is the "Smart-Circuit-Systems_0.3.8".

I am trying to build an accumulator, for example, inside of my logistical network by shift-clicking and creating a ghost (or using a blueprint). I have passive provider chests that are all inside of my logistical network, and these chests contain the required materials (iron plates in one chest and batteries in another). There are 1000 batters in my logistical network and 1000 plates. Both in the same logistical area as what I'm trying to build.

However, when I make the ghost or blueprint, I get a message saying "1 objects are missing the material for construction."

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug possibly caused by the smart circuits mod? I haven't made it far enough in a new game without the mod to see it works with the mod turned off from the start.

Please help! :-)

Thank you

Construction robots can't manufacture entities from their required materials - you have to have the accumulators themselves in provider / storage chests.
