same here after the update place the ship order and took my CR but it stuck in Ship in Construction

Station has no required materials. Now that factions are more agressive they keep building ships all the time. Got same issue, but i was aware of the materials shortage as there is a warning before you accept an order.

Wasn't expecting that it won't resolve on it's own some time later.

Just above you can see what is missing:

Was trying to supply the wharf so they allow my ship to leave. But unfortunately they spent materials faster than i was able to bring more. Going to try more :(

its not in the stage of it missing materials at this point the timer is green and it should be building? theres no ! n its been like 10 hours since i started trhe order 4 or so befor the timer whent green with #1 next to it

It may be materials, and/or it may be other orders ahead in the queue from your order(s). I've had 15 ships in the queue for many hours now, just trying to keep up supply so I can get them finally.

Seems to be a result of older saves getting the newly enabled war AI triggers, and the AI is now trying to catch up. Should clear up after some time, hopefully.

my order was the first place and other ships have appeared in the queue idk if i was pushed down but those other ships need shield emmitters n i like have no clue where a station that sells em is

Use the trade overlay and filters to find one.

was just screaming at my PC for this same issue... ship wasnt building (after 4 hrs), needed engine parts... set my only 2 traders to loop & fill it, but within minutes, the stations supply dropped back down to double digits.... my ordered ship needs like 1700 engine parts (& i can only deliver 300ish at a time)....

at the VERY least, please put a ship refund button so we can get our money back.... cause damn..

I started a new game with patch. Argon seems to be a "GOD" station it never had a ship construction backup and looking at the materials its takes almost none.

The other stations on the other hand except Eighteen Billion are in a massive shortage of engine parts. I spent half a day catering trades to just these stations and they just keep building ships.

This needs to be looked at. Is Argon a free ship resource ship building zone for a reason? Has the game gone nuts over the amount of ships its building?

If its a new ship and not being worked on or ugraded right click on it. It should have a cancel option.

1.32 introduced a bug that adds 100s of required Engine Parts for ship upgrades you do.

Purchase 4 Advanced Sattelites ? 200 Engine Parts !

Upgrade to Teladi Shields ? 200 Engine Parts !

Issue has been reported and devs have been handed saves with the issue.
I'm still blaming trader logic as I'm pretty sure there are several issues with it checking buy orders to sell orders and then fail so they buy anyway and get stuck with full cargo and also not a trade marging check so they go for energy cells instead, large volume small profit vs low volume high profit and cargo size so they go for 10 energey cells instead of 200 engines as that station is closer or whatever.

If you quickly explore to find multiple engine part factories, set a few traders on autotrade with max jumps for buy/sell and limit to engine parts, this should prevent the engine part shortage at the shipyards and wharfs.
If you can't find them that easilly, build a couple of engine part factories to jumpstart the economy again if you have the funds to do so.

Thats what I did. Got a L transport and 2 M's on a single station engine parts only. Makes no difference once those ships (6 with my load built on average) built and cleared the game has them backlogged to 30+ before the second delivery.

But this is how I noticed Argon and Eighteenbillion warf's don't need engine parts.

Well I was going off the station trader. Scanned the stations the production is the same as any other station but Argon stays stocked on its own where the other dont in my game.

The problem is the ship build counter is not counting down it should be building coz the timers green n all theres no missing recources for that ship https://puu.sh/CgSfM.jpg but the other ships are missing recources

just a quick followup for those who care,

had 2 ships drop off 1800+ engine parts (at the asame time) in hopes of the game building the damn ship...station inventory dropped back to less than 300 in 3 seconds with no ship progress....

reloaded save & did a second time to make sure... same result


so if you are stuck in this situation, dont bother... only buy argon ships untill patch
