"No Plans To Fabricate" Error

[DrigoMagistriArmA]

Can please someone help me? Sometimes in certain Fabricators I recive this error, I thought that it was an in game feature but then seemed to be like a sort of strange "bug".
Can please someone help me on how to fix, since the fabricator it's basically essential for most of the things I would need it operational everywhere...

Had the same problem throughout the game with the Fabricator in my office, and only that one.
Don't know for sure what fixed it, but I looked at the place where you normally pick up the items it dispenses and pressed the interact key and suddenly it started working, almost as if there was a ghost item stuck there that I couldn't see.

Probably not the solution but it's worth a try at least.

When I played again today an old fabricator wasn't anymore bugged, the one inside the Arboreum, when I loaded the game I saw it normal with the "Start" botton on it, but when I went closer it turned "bugged" again, so I tried to go back looking at it and returned normal, went a bit close slowly and turned again bugged, then I tried this time to run and clicking as fast as possible the start button but it wasn't necessary anymore, because I failed the first click realizing that it was normal again, What The Actual ♥♥♥♥.

That's something I said plenty of times too. It's a good game that's bogged down with some pretty horrible bugs, and lots of painfully frequent and long loading screens.

For those who come later (like myself): If you leave a loading area and the machine thinks there is an object on the ramp, this will cause the bug. This will not stop until the object it believes is stuck is cleared or destroyed. Suggested actions include:

• pick up the last thing you printed
  
• destroy the last thing you printed
  
• throw a recycler charge into the machine, just in case there IS something stuck there
  
• use some sort of kinetic blast to dislodge whatever
  
• use a different recycler
  
• change loading zones again after any of the above

My personal problem occurred when printing a Turret in Cargo, and since a turret isn't something you can just put into your inventory, I had to wait until that turret was destroyed by natural causes until the replicator decided it was fine. Fun fact, "destroyed" just meant "beaten into inoperation" and not "completely removed from the universe."

I have had this happen on every pass through the game, but only with the fabricator in Cargo. And it has only ever happened after I added the turret fabrication plan and had set up the turrets in order to get the Cargo bay B door code. At that point it isn't as necessary. I thought it was part of the game that, from that point on, you had to get by without if you were in that area. The recycling machines are fine and have never had a problem.

That's when it happened to me too. After clearing out bay B it was back to normal.

throwing a recycler charge at it fixed it for me

[scp173]

for me i went to a save where it was not having the issue pressed start (you need to press start) then reload the later save

I jumped on top and it fixed itself

[Modemus]

Just happened to me, fixed itself once i shot a turret to broken

I usually just leave for another part of the station (one that requires the level loading transition screen to pop up), mess around there for a tiny bit then go back to the level where the fabricator was busted and it's okay again.

This worked for me also

Such a wierd glitch. Had to throw a recycler charge into the crack beneath the item spawnpoint, only after that did it work again
