Bug: Counter Gate "Count Up To" window disappeared

[Sarchasm]

Firstly, I wanted to say great job on the fantastic game! I've been really enjoying my first few hours with it.

However I ran into an odd issue. After playing for the first time, then saving and quitting, in all subsequent times I played the "Count Up To:" window that appears when you select the Counter Gate didn't appear, making the Counter Gate unusable. I could still place it but it would do nothing.

I was only able to resolve the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Will see if it happens again and provide an update.

Another bug I just encountered - if a small worker is carrying something and you use any path other than the "null" path leading to an Assembler, if you then upgrade that path segment to the "null" path, the worker will step onto the Assembler still carrying their item and the Assembler will get stuck. You have to delete the Assembler and rebuild it to fix.

The counter gate is definitely screwed up- I tried setting up a split in a path for early game so I'd only have 5 ants working iron scrap collection at a time on my second attempt and I was scratching my head on why I couldn't set the number anymore.

I have to save, quit the game and restart to get the counter to show up again. So I got that bug too randomly

Hey guys! Thanks for the report, we'll look into it!

yep no block to adjust the actual count after restarting, very hard to play without it.
(edit) Saving and restarting the game brings it back.

Same bug here. I would also add that it prevents the game from saving.

Confirmed. Despite saying it has saved, it didn't. can be confusing.

Same bug here, after 10h savegame.

My assembler is also broken. Nothing I try fixes it. I've tried restarting the game and it does nothing. The old small worker ants just sit in front of the assembler, as it says waiting for materials. Theres an ant waiting on the input spot with a valid path behind it, and it just wont take anything in. I've tried a loop. and the ants just walk past the input.

It was working not twenty minutes ago, it broke, then I fixed it. Then I tried to slightly adjust the path to the input, and it immediately broke again.

I was using it just fine to make small driller ants. Then wanted to get the tutorial window out of my view, so I did what it told me to do, and switch the recipe inside it to the drone. After I put the material input for fabric into the side, it still said that it was missing ingredients, but it was the worker ant that was missing, not the fabric.

I built storage for the materials to be deconstructed into, then I was able to get it to work once, then I edited the path. It broke again, and I tried constructing it and deconstructing it several times with nothing working. I tried re doing my paths. I have tried everything aside from restarting the game. At this point I don't think I want to play it in its current state if I am going to get bottlenecks that I didn't make, and cant fix.

same here, gate counter will not show up. Started a fast start game or what ever it is, but cant see the gate counter, tried a new slow start also, counter doe snot show.

restarting game seemed to fix the problem...for now.

I'm encountering the same bug as OP.

Same, does not seem to have a trigger point. Reloading the game will help but it will not allow me to save while the bug is active so progress gets lost.

I'm having the same issue today but did not have the issue when I played earlier in the morning.

I started a new game, same issue.

I will not play the game if I can't use the counter gate - this is game-breaking to me.

+1 for counter gate UI disappearing.

[DuncanPerham]

mine has been working ok since, not sure what caused it. but if it happens again, I will just quit and reload the game hopefully that will fix things.
