Stations only showing storage of the last container I opened manually

[Voilodion]

My refining/research/production stations are not reliably accessing the drillship's online storage. They only show the storage of whatever container I last opened manually, such as a wall chest, and the Upgrades button is also greyed out in those cases. To access online storage from within one of these stations, I have to first open and close the actual online storage compartment elsewhere in the ship, then go to the station. Then all four buttons in the station will work properly.

Feedback sent. Let me know if you would like additional details or any screenshots.

I have now also noticed that hitting Tab twice while in the station interface fixes the online inventory access. Here is an example of the steps:

Open a non-online wall chest. Close it.
Go to a refinery/research/production station (online type, not worktable). Open it. "Online" and "Upgrade" buttons are grayed out.
Hit Storage button. Storage of the wall chest is shown and can be used.
Hit Tab. Station UI is shown.
Hit Tab. Online inventory is shown and can be used, and works properly from then on.

I can confirm the production/refinery/research hub storage buttons in my game have the same behavior as the OPs - the storage button always shows me the storage I opened last - chest or drillship storage. When it does show drillship storage it does correctly show me all storages combined into one.

I'll add that if I remove the last storage I opened go hit a hub storage button, the resulting in-hub storage page show no storage at all. I have to go and open another storage to get the storage button linked to whatever that storage is (obviously, the hub is persisting its memory of whatever I opened last, to the point of not showing anything if the last opened storage is removed).

The upgrade buttons in the hubs are also greyed out, as this is my first playthrough and there's a lot of UI stuff in this game, I'm not sure I remember what they do. But I think the hub upgrade buttons are to upgrade from bench to online to hub production/refinery/research, right? If so, then I already have hubs, and if that's the highest upgrade, maybe the upgrade buttons are supposed to be greyed out.

This is an old issue and unfortunately I cannot find any ticket about this.

Once you send the savefile let me know and I will take a look at it right away.

Thanks for your report and sorry for the inconveniences.

Sorry K, I didn't notice your request until just now. I'm done playing this game for now (not because I didn't like, but I just finished most of the content), but when I come back, if the problem persists, I'll do as you requested.

And no worries, this problems wasn't a big deal, and is easy enough to work around. It's just confusing the first time a player runs into it.

I see.
Thank you for the information and hope to see you around in the future :-)
