Issues noticed while playing

As my invites to the discord are rejected...

Have been playing since release, and although I am really enjoying the game, these are some of the things I have noticed recently:

- Changing the recipes on the Assembler and Hi Tech basically freeze the unit. Once it goes into its change recipe mode you can't do anything. I have had to demolish two of them just to be able to rebuild and start another recipe. You can't even go back to the original. I understand the concept, but even though I have plenty of storage for all the items required by the recipe, the drones won't get them, and hence cause the freeze. The original procedure of dropping the items on the floor was a bit funny, but it worked. Edit: what would be good, is if there was a force empty button, so that items required for one recipe could be force emptied before choosing another recipe.

- When I send a truck out on an expedition, upon its return to base it stops as soon as it hits the base map. It no longer goes to its default parking place.

- Large haulers will just randomly drive around after picking up an item before delivering that item to a storage facility. Weird.

- Can ventilation come with ducts, so that rooms don't need to be adjacent to each other? I'm asking this after I built a room with a one square separation, so that drones could get to the other side quicker.

- After the Cargo Dock rework, I destroyed my old one, and built a new one. I had a large quantity of Regolith in the dock before demolishing it (over 40K). So, after the demolish, I have a small white container with all this Regolith in it. My drones are continually trying to empty this container, and other, much more important things, are being overlooked. I have upped the priority on important ones, but the drones always cycle back to the Regolith. Is there anyway to destroy/demolish one of those small white containers, or reduce its priority so my drones can focus on the more important things.

Thanks for listening.

Maybe a "disallow" button like in Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress.

follow the drones that pickup regolith to where they bring it.
reduce priority of the module where they dropoff the regolith... or forbid dropoff of regolith there (under drone maintenance)

I'm hoping for water and oxygen pipes a the very least. Frankly I don't think the game would suffer if those connections were just assumed.

The priority tool on the bottom left bar can be used on piles to toggle their priority but it's a bit odd, with the tooltip denoting what it would change to if clicked rather than what priority it currently is.

But I don't think even that would change the situation if you are trying to build over the pile. Removing piles from building sites seems to be near max priority, and those jobs seem to stay queued up even if the building plan is canceled.

If the save was from the previous version you'll have to deconstruct and rebuild.
