[Klonan] [2.1.7] Platform-to-platform construction requests deadlock
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2026 10:46 am
Description
I've noticed when building new platforms in orbit above Nauvis that they often were having random build pieces requested, but not fulfilled.
Another user in another thread said they'd had this problem, and that unchecking "Provide materials to other platforms" solved the issue; and this has allowed me to concretely isolate the issue.
Example of a deadlock:
Platform 5 is requesting 28 lights.
Platform 2 has 50, and "Provide materials to other platforms" is enabled.
Platform 3 has 29, and "Provide materials to other platforms" is enabled.
Platform 4 had 8, and "Provide materials to other platforms" was enabled; it had no impact on the deadlock during experimentation, and I have deleted it for conciseness.
Steps to reproduce:Unclear, but 1 or more space platforms with the required items appears to be a component of the issue.
In my experiment, platforms 3 and 4 are able to request and supply other materials to other platforms and the surface, and have been in position for some time before I noticed.
Steps to resolve: Manually uncheck "Provide materials to other platforms" on all platforms with enough lights to fulfill the request, or have all providing platforms leave orbit.
