drones don't repair

so after playing for 4 hours, it seems drones just completely stop repairing things. they will do everything else but i would have like 40 things that need repairing and i have the materials to repair them. anyone else run into this issue?

Did you get the tech for drones auto-repairing? They always seem to prioritize repairing structures on their own once the tech is researched.

If you don't have the tech, you could try upping the priority on the structures you need.

four hours in and I didn't get that tech?

I have all the materials they simply will not repair. all they can do is transfer random detritus into storage that's it. they won't even dismantle or build new buildings.

I basically made a new game since i find this to be a perma bug till there is a fix. I also don't know how it happened, likely might have to do with spacing between buildings. or a bug in the priority system i dunno.

It's a bug to be sure but fixable by turning off the ability to dump the resources into the containers by clicking the icon in the containers tool-tip.

I have the same problem; Large solar panels that need to be built quickly but the drones are happy picking up the loose regolith on the floor. If I turn off the ability to dump into the Regolith container then they go back to building.

To my knowledge there is an experimental patch out right now that helps with the drones so we should see that soon, if you don't want to opt into those things of course.

My sandbox game started doing this yesterday after the patch. Had to make repair top priority and no haulers or miners. All my solar panels and batteries broke at same time. Followed by just about everything else.
