player wharf not building what am i doing wrong?

[valdindor]

Ok I have a S/M shipyard and my station makes all the parts it needs to make ships. The stock is full and i have set a dealer on the wharf. I buy a ship and it says its good to go and will make it in a given time. I says there are no ships in the queue so there is no wait.

Sadly when i accept it the ship sits in the queue and never builds. For example right now i have enough parts to build 14 fighters. I told it to just build 1. let it si with seta on for about a hr and it never built the ship. What am i doing wrong? As i said it has a full stock of everything it needs and it even says it has all the parts to build the ship. it just never starts.

Did you bought the ship an EQ blueprints too?

[Flatline]

It does require you to have the blueprints for the ship you want to build. Also, I believe you need to have build drones in the station as well. Can you check and see if you are missing any of them? I'll say it....you need the blueprints for the drones as well as the parts needed for them in order to build them I think.

[maniczombie1]

I think you also need a workforce for crew, one being the required pilot. Also I have noticed if my docks are full in the warf, no new ships will build until I move them out onto another dock or to another location other than the warf to free up the build space. Another possibility would be npc ships in que ahead of yours waiting on parts for deployables like missles or satellites, drones, etc, you can cancel their build orders to put your ships ahead

[valdindor]

I have a full workforce and over 100 building drones. I also have the BP for the ships and parts i am trying to make. If you don't have them it wont let you choose them. Also there is plenty of free dock space. As for the queue when i buy the ship it says its in position 1 and there are no other ships in the queue the ai isnt building ships in my warf. :( clearly im missing something but what?

Clear build orders maybe? And do u have blueprints for all components? Engines etc?

[Emme]

You're doing nothing wrong M8 the game is just completely broken yet. Most essential things like production chains, resupply and trade a.i. just don't work. I could not play a single game for more than 10hrs yet, because production chains always ♥♥♥♥ up at the early game. After you built a small fleet of ships the game is basically over.

Yes i have them. When i choose to build a ship (i have the resources in storage to build 24 more) it goes into the queue and there is nothing else in the queue. It just sits there and never starts.

I had that happen. I added the mods that seem to fix this a bit and make the xenon invasion rather nuts but i think its over in my game because the endless waves of i and k BS have stopped. now its just corvets and fighters. I could win if my warf would work but it wont so i have to depend on npc warfs/shipyards and that means its hard as hell because the ai doesn't seem to make much effort to protect its own home system at all. well the argon do but thats about it. ive had to reload saves a few times because while i wasnt looking the ai just let the xenon destroy there shipyards with no effort to stop it. unless you count just building like 15 fighters and sitting at the wrong gate as trying. leaving me with no way to build new ships. >.> glaring at you m/s warf not building anything

we recently had it about necroing and such... i will ignore this reply for now and will add a few questions for the OP.

1.) is your Problem still present?
2.) is/was your Station Staffed with all the Needed NPCs? (Manager, Ship Trader)

3.) had your Station enough Building Drones and Resources to do its Job?


*if you were able to solve your initial Problem in the mean time, are you okay when i close this Topic when needed or do you want to keep it up for further Discussions?

Kind Regards

@eMYNOCK

I have the same issue.

Full ressources, many Building Drones, some Ship in the queue but wharf won't start working/building. Shipyard won't start building either.

And full staff of course.

[HoloByteus]

I just built a new warf, no build drones and the ZYA cranked out 10 orders before I could disable faction building. They all built fine just not as fast as they would with build drones. Typically when an order hangs it's missing mats. You'd generally know that in advance when you place an order because it warns you.

It would be a great add to be able to see again what mats are holding up a construction from the same place you can cancel the order...like a INFO or EDIT selection above cancel.

Last but not least you can try the X4 CTL-ALT-DEL... Leave the sector, return.

Do you have enough storage space for the resources the ship need to be built?

[Chris]

Seems like you've listed all the necessary resources... except crew. Do you have habitat buildings as part of your station, and are they fully staffed? You can't construct any new ships (for yourself; NPC ships will build without any issues) unless there are surplus workforce that can be used as pilots for your ships, so make sure that you have enough habitats to supply workforce for your production modules PLUS some surplus, make sure that there's enough food/medical supplies so that the habitat modules are actually populated, and then you should be able to construct ships for yourself.

Alternatively, you can purchase a minimal configuration version of the ship you want from an NPC shipyard & then fly it to your shipyard to be properly outfitted with the equipment you actually want.

Can other factions build ships at your Wharf? I did not have any problems, but I noticed the strange fact that other factions could build ships at my Wharf before I could, since I was still lacking the blueprints for thrusters, and you cannot build a ship without those. While I went to buy the blueprints, Antigone already happily built a Pulsar at my station.

having the same problem shipyard says it has everything it needs tons of ships in queue to build, wont build
