Hey does someone have a problem with drone not going at the good port like when i select the destination back and forth with the drone port it work but when i place the drone itself for it it just change to a random port i didn't select i saw online multiple people saying to rename all the drone station but it didn't work its still happening does someone know how to fix it? Thank

+1, have the same issue.

Yep. Same problem. And under "Relevant Ports" it shows the actual port it's going to, completely ignoring what you're setting. And I saw the renaming bit, but that doesn't seem to be helping at all.

Same Issue. this game is ruined, unless they fix this bug

[.:[Double Helix]:.]

are you playing on a Pre 1.0 save. ?
seen someone mention this somewhere else. it was drone ports that were pre release they deleted them and placed new ones. it fixed the issue. something to do with the changes they made for fuel types and flight paths ?

how are you setting up your drones. ?
i generally leave the supply end Depot with no drone or port assigned and only set the commands from the receiving end.
it might be something to do with how the ports are saved and linked (going into the menu and remotely selecting ports rather than at physical machine. )

I experience this bug on 1.0 new run. Never progressed that far on EA to rely on drone network.
There are several, if not many, threads about this bug on this forum, some started in September. Is there any way to bring developer attention to this bug?

No its a new save i've started at the 1.0 release its new and for the drone i've try with the physical machine and remotly and both time the drone is going to another port i didn't want even the drone was mixing some of my production because it was dropping the mineral in another port that was working but yea idk whats doing that i'm out of solution i've try fixing it for hours and no luck

So it seems I managed to somewhat make things work again. I went through all my drone bases and renamed everything, making sure there are no duplicate names at all. A new drone port I put down now actually behaves as expected.

There are numerous mentions of this issue on their QA/Bug forum, so I'm going to assume by now it's a known bug. But damn that's a game breaking bug.
