Runway stuck on repair

[Stealthy]

I got 3 parallel runways in 18/36 direction. Problem is now, the 18R/36L is stuck on maintenance and nothing is done. It doesn't get fixed, it doesn't get deleted. None of its upgrades gets deleted either.

Anyone else had something like this?

2 Other runways next to it, 18C/36C and 18L/36R are working just fine and get also maintenance as and when needed without any problems.

this was a bug a while ago but was fixed it may have come up again. send your save in to the devs. make sure you reference this post

I managed to fix it by moving from default branch to edge and reloading the game. I'll see if i got the older save where the problem is happening.

I"m having the same problem. I have one runway that has been out of commission for at least a day. It was down to 75% and the workers got it up to $86% then quit. I have runway maintenance set to high priority and Always Finish. There are supplies waiting and now the workers are just hanging around at deliveries.

Hi, do any of your runways intersect or taxiways go thru the stuck runway? If airtraffic is taxing across the runway the pax will not fix it.

this was posted in another thread about runway repair

General tip: Runways may have a hard time to get a "maintenance reservation", as long as the runway itself is used for taxiing, operations or a crossing runway is in use for operations the maintenance cannot start, make sure your workman actually get a time span where they can work safely!

if not i would send my save into the devs so they can check it out and see what is going on

i somewhat have this issue however at least for me found a temp fix my maint schedule is set to the default 4 hours but after about 2 hours they give up and wander off and wont come back, ive found once they start to walk off at the 2 hour mark if i click the runway and press the force repair button, they will come back again if i dont do that they wont come back to finish the job (its worth noting as im using default at the moment they seem to prefer repairing everything inside 1st so they actualy go back to deliveries and stand in there without a care in the world with a damaged run way and at least a hour left in the maint window

Hey Dusty and Ethonal, if you don't mind please send over your save where the maintenance is stuck in progress.

See this thread for further information on sending saves and/or logs.

Be aware that sometimes it's normal that maintenance may not start or stop early, like chick already mentioned.
However, if the maintenance is "paused" / stuck in progress (i.e. workman already started but didn't finish) that's most likely a bug and we'll need to look at the save why it happened and how to fix it!

Thanks for all your replies. My runways do not intersect and the workers have since repaired other runways completely. I notice that the fences at the north end of the airport, where the runway is located, are also not fully installed. Saves on the way.

Thanks for the reports and thanks for the save!

We were able to fix this issue and it'll work fine with the next deploy!

Short version of what happened:
Whenever something is maintained the repair is split up into several small tasks, those tasks usually start all at once but in some cases there may not be enough workmen for all.

This issue appeared whenever the runway was partially repaired before starting the other tasks. Due to the runway now having a maintained level higher than the threshold it'll block the new tasks from starting and at the same time the project won't finish.

From now on any task may start if the reservation was acquired (i. e. the maintenance started already), this means stuck maintenance will continue to work once you load the next patch.
