Ships wont build at my warfs

[Neogenex]

I have tried everything. I have full resources Manager, Ship Trader, all the blueprnts. I've fired both manager and trader and replaced them... my ships just sit on full timer and never start building. I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out!

Do you have enough resources? Even if your resource storage is full, it might not be enough. I noticed on my wharfs that in the Logical Overview, a number of the resource items were marked as not having enough storage allocated, despite me having at least three large container storage modules.

Another thing to possibly consider, are the AI factions using your wharf as well? If you look at the Logical Overview, at the very end where the ship production is, if you expand the item to look at the details, it should list any ships currently in production regardless of faction. If the AI factions are using your wharf, their ships are likely ahead of yours in the queue.

I have 8 large storage of each type maxxed out with resources. There are no ships at all being built, even from the AI. When I build my ship, it doesnt say anything about being short on any resource.

I can upgrade and repair and resupply... just not build anything.

Then sadly, I've got nothing. Or it could just be as simple as close to desktop and reopen the game. Might "reset" the AI and make it realize that there is a wharf?

Maybe one of the veterans of the game will have ideas?

I've had this problem for a few days now and I've exhausted everything with Google and YouTube and Reddit. I have no idea what is going on. The only thing I can think of is one of the mods from STEAM broke it.

Oh? That sounds like maybe you built a Ship Maintenance module rather than a Fabrication one. I'm not entirely sure though, as I pointedly did not buy a maintenance module blueprint, only the fabrication one.

[Neogenex]

It says Fabrication. And I dont own the Maint BP either lol

Truly spitballing here, as I'm out of other ideas. How about the station population? Do you have at least one hab module? Captains are required for ship building and they have to come from somewhere.

Check the drones on the station. Afaik the ship fabrication uses construction drones. Maybe you simply don't have any?

[phylumt]

Check Drones - check all items in the "Buy" anything with a cargo in your list for the station? For example, I found out in my Big Factory I wasn't producing Field Coils, had to go buy those and the blueprints.

I think you're overlooking something. The only time I've had this was when I didn't have enough storage. I mean you have got enough docks? No blacklists? No mods?

It might help if you could post some screenshots of your logistical overview. All of it. I suspect the answers lies in there.

They actually appear from thin air if you don't have a hab module on your wharf, so that's not an issue.

My guess would be lack of building drones as well. You need 80 for a S/M fabrication bay (and 800 workforce) to build ships at full speed.

[Neogenex]

I have construction drones (250) and every single resource is maxxed completely out. I have a storage of 6 million for Solid, Container, and Liquid. My station population is 8,000 and it says I only need 6,750. Like I said, I am stuck on this. I've used Google and Reddit and YouTube and I have tried every single thing I could find and nothing has worked.

[Gibbo]

You have building drones, right? These are built on the logistical overview window. There are cargo drones, defence drones, repair drones and finally building drones. You have built them?

OP: on the map screen, extend the list below you shipyard by pressing the + sign, and check if there are ships under construction. If you didn't restrict the sale of ships for npc factions via a trade rule, it's possible that your station received a lot of purchases and is trying to catch up to them (assuming no other issue).
