Claytronics Gone?

[phylumt]

It seems like Claytronics have vanished from my game, over 10 hours waiting for a station to build because there are 0 claytronics to be found,and I can't build a claytronics production because... well I need claytronics. Has anyone ran into this?

Have you tried using the trade overlay or the search bar?

Yes, only "buying" Claytronics shows.

Don't forget about the quantity filter of the trade overlay; if you set it for "large", it will only show offers from stations with large stocks of the ware. If that happens to be the case, set it to "small" or "none".

Also, try entering "clay" on the search bar so that the map will show stuff with that string in their name; this way, you can easily find claytronics factories on the map and see if there's anything wrong with them.

Changing to small i was able to find one location, i'm not sure why the AI hadn't brought any for me anyway. I suppose that is because there is a shortage?

That would be my guess as well: most npc traders are set to "fill shortages", which only lets them buy stuff when it's cheap (price lower than the avg).

Each game is different, sometimes you can find things cheap sometimes you can't find things at all. This is a hint to a player that if you had a single factory making wares that are not common in your game will be profitable. But just to be sure, double check your trade filters that you don't have it set to Large Quantities. Sometimes wares won't show up in short supply in large amounts at all, you need to adjust this as needed.
