All shipyards/wharfs are missing engine parts

[Tumas Altaawus]

Is this a bug or..?

Can't build ships anywhere, and I need one for the main plot flying the ship into the anomaly and blowing up.

Before I'm told to get freighters to deliver stock, I can't find a single engine parts factory and I can't buy any freighters because there's no engine parts. If I do have to deliver this myself, I'm going to assume it'll take a while with my starter ship. If I had known the game was this broken before I'd bought it, I wouldn't have done.

Try Argon Prime sector usually it the 1st to have access to all components to build ships.

Many ships around you can claim. I only have bought one ship and know i have 70.
Starter ship plus one bought rest I found or captured.

That's where I was trying to build.

Where's the best place to look?

venture into the void of other systems and be advised that not all possible stations are in proximity of the Highway Ring.

also during the first load of a game it is guaranteed that everything is there to get the economy started... that means mostly hull part and claytronic factories... if something is in very high demand for some time the Factions will setup their own additional Stations.

again... there are usually 1 station of each for each faction right after loading a game for the first time.

you just have to find it.

My 2.0 start had the factions building a lot at the start of the scenario. It meant that there was always a shortage of parts, but only because production was high.

I started placing single buy orders at each wharf I discovered. They did eventually build my ships after working through the queue and resource delays.

In my save Argon Prime seemed to be getting the fastest results.

I did not use ships to 'fix' the supply issues. I let the game run and it worked itself out.

You can find ships pretty much anywhere they pope up in sectors surrounded by mines. Probably connected to missions so don't accept mission that involves rescue ships trapped in mine fields. Just take the ship for yourself.

normally the script that is responsible for this kind of mission should clean the ships up...
unfortunately it doesn't...

so, take your free ship(s) as long as this bug isn't fixed.

May be just a coincidence but in Argon Prime wharf I built ships that seemed to build faster when shipping Hull parts from nearby system. Could not find Engine part factory anywhere.

since the spawning of non major stations is procedural sometime engine parts stations are close and sometime they are so far away so no one can help you find where it is....

luckily in my game the engine part Station spawned right below the argon shipyard and i'm having a field day making ships

i'm use mod "Shipyard Shortage Workaround", it "fix" problem with resources

What works for me is just build the basic version of your ship with the least amount of engine parts so it gets built (no red numbers in required materials). Then undock and fly it to an EQUIPMENT DOCK and upgrade your engine there. Since the dock does not build ships I havent had an issue. If you havent found one yet... its your starting station. At least it was for me.
