Weird glitch...

[Trayen]

Placed a new construction site in a sector and discovered the build storage was placed 60.9km away from the site. Thankfully my traders knew exactly where to drop the goods of to. I don't think I would have ever found it if I had not been watching my traders.

Anyone else experience this with a vanilla or lightly modded game?

It looks like the storage was placed at 0,0,0 in the sector while the constructions is where I wanted it.

In Vanilla game construction storage is usually slammed into southern wall of the build site, to the point where it'll block an L dock if you place one there.

This could be a mod. I do not recall seeing such bug before.

So far this was a one time bug. I even tried resizing the construction area hoping that it would bring the storage back to the south wall... which didn't happen. For now the traders know where it is located. Will have to see if it affects the actual building of the station.

I took this screenshot on August 2023 (the build storage is where the pink builder with the green timeglass is, right on top of the highway, many km's from the station): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2983966998
Despite the glitch, the station was built normally.

I have seen that happen once as well, not playing with any mods.
Happened in Heretics End for me, when trying to build a factory in the North Western part of the asteroid field.
I removed the factory build site and tried to replace it at the same general location, facing the same general way did make it happen again.
Not wanting a build storage in the middle of the sector, made me relocate the build site to elsewhere in the sector and that seemed to fix the issue.
Have not tried building another factory at the "cursed" location yet, but could give it a try to see if it still is bugged.

Thanks for the updates. Guess I will leave the site alone. Since I am running with the mod, Sector Patrol, the storage unit is very well protected with my patrol group sitting on top of the storage unit.

I think you don't have to worry about the safety of the build storage itself; in all my time playing the game, I can't remember it ever being targeted by enemies. The ships delivering materials, on the other hand...
