RC Commander stuck. Bug?

[some moron]

My RC Commander is stuck. It won't move in any direction. The hatch is open and it says "RC Commander is moving and won't give new orders to controlled Drones." Is anyone else familiar with this bug?
How do I submit the saved game for inspection?

Looks like it's broken down. You need to get a drone over there to fix it. Either from another Commander or from a Drone Hub.

No. If I click a drone and hover over the commander it says "Assign to this command center"

Okay then. Just a guess on my part.

Now I'm having again the bug where the dust storm ends, but it doesn't stop. I'm still getting leaks and it's still cloudy. But no more message about dust storm. Personally I think my current game is corrupted because only some of the vaporators stopped working during the dust storm, also some of the drones got stuck with the commander and I can't move them. They are not broken down.
If I knew what corrupts the game I'd like to know so I could not do it so that I could actually finish a game.

Long shot, and I know this has nothing to do with "moving," but maybe if you removed the two drones (click the '-' button twice), that would reset it, so to speak. (Of course, add the drones back if it works.)

Anything in the log file?

this happened to me last night it happens when the drones are too far away from the commander they don't follow it or go back in it for some reason when you move the commander and they can't find it and the drones say they are unassigned and the drone won't move until the drones are inside it will just keep trying to move but be stuck. you have to find the drones it was assigned to and assign them to another commander. and yes it's a bug the commander won't move again until it has 0 drones.

I had this happen a few days ago and it was due to terraforming.
I created a massive flatten job as I wanted lots of waste rock.
Moved my commander over to it and the drones started working.
My commander was sat "in" the job zone.
The terrain altered underneath him as part of the job.
The job wasnt finished but I needed my commander for something else and it would not move.
It was stuck inside un eaven terrain.
I had to build another for my other job and just wait until the terraforming was complete.
Commander 1 could then move ok.

Everyone is speculating here.
Look at the snapshot.
It says the RC Commander is moving and wont give new orders.
I just happen to have been scouring that source code for Better Open Farms.
The RC Commander has several autonomous threads running in it.
One is for dronecontrol.
Whats happening here is the RC Commander gave the order to all assigned drones to load up and is waiting for them to enter before proceeding.
The RC Commanders movement threads are waiting for the command to proceed.
Its never gonna come until the drones finish loading.

You need to figure out why.
My speculation is there is a mod loaded up that increased the drone work area, which I bet has not been updated for Cernan patch. Either that or some other mod that modifies something about dronecontrol and is also outdated. Thats why I asked for a log, to verify and not speculate.

One way out of this mess is to repack the drones, all of them and then unpack one and reissue the command to enter/exit.

Yeah, kind of like I said hours and hours ago.

There was definitely flattening in the area. I was trying to flatten some land despite the increasingly frustrating bug about land not flattening after flattening it.
The commander would not move into a particular area, it just stops. I then clicked a path for it to follow and after I left i there a while it was stuck.
When I load the drones, they do not load. There are drones in the commander but when I unload them nothing happens. I suspect the commander is waiting to load the drones and they are not loading for some reason.
What log do you want to see and where is it and how do I share it? I know you said the location previously but when I search for "log location" the oldest hit is June 4 so apparently the messages time out.

I just reloaded that save. I tried to assign another drone to that commander, and loaded the drone. The drone approached the commander then stopped. Now the drone is stuck and I cannot control it It says Not receiving commands. Drone commander is not working.
But I can't even move it manually now. It's as though that part of the map is corrupted.

just trash it than and get another commander

[TastyDactyl]

anyone suggest he was pauseD? cause this exact thing happened to me and i realized after 30 min of looking for stuff here that i was paused.

I posted a reason and workaround above. Two threads in the rover get out of sync.
