Research Labs Bug

[jwpokerclan]

They just stop producing research. They have product, they have juice they just stop at some random point. Twice now, two different maps. It shows they are working, but nothing produces. They are hanging up in some way. I tried save reload the game, then they update the graphic showing they are off.

I tried one more thing, rebuilding them. This worked. However what I discovered as the cause is when the one that had freeway track next would not rebuild in the same spot. meaning that freeway track built next to any one lab shuts them all down with no real feedback. The solution is to move the track and rebuild the labs.

To the developers: This is a bug, you forgot to make sure that freeway track was not in a labs space.

Just a note as I have played a little more. It the number two elevated freeway that give the problem. I think the thing is with the dome shape of the lab you get over the edge a little

I've had problems with research labs. Have to remove them all and recreate them.
Still, in one save, they start producing research points again, but stop tracking KG value.
One of the tips is 'dont be afraid to remove everything and start again' (or words to that effect).
But do that with research labs at your peril.

In my current set up I have had to build some research domes between two "highway" tracks. The longer transfer tube reaches through the trestle if the tank/silo is one space from the trestle. The research dome needs to be as close as you can get it to the trestle. The tube will reach three spaces.

Same problem here no obvious reason reasearch stops.
This is a game breaker.
Yes they work for a short while when rebuilt.
But they do stop soon after rebuild again.

I had a similar bug but i had an unpowered research dome. When i deleted it the others domes restarted working

+1 they don't track KG any more

[chimney]

My mistake. KG means the export rate

[sedman]

yea, I thought it was the kg chucked into the research labs, like for unrefined resources (which would be more intuitive considering its research labs being interacted with, not the trading interface - they should at least have a tooltip over it.
