Crew not building hull

[M6Hurricane]

I went to build -> edit -> Build Hull. I drag-selected an orange square for them to construct.

They aren't doing it though, and I have no error messages on the objective window. I have 32 Hull Blocks. I have no idea why they won't expand the hull, any ideas?

I tried "activate sketch" even though I did Build Hull and that still doesn't work.

Hi!

Which scenario are you playing?

Have you checked crew management priorities menu that your folks have construct as a priority? Or can do it for that matter =) It is possible to select crew members without construct abilities if not careful in the crew selection screen. It does show red in the team skills but can still be missed. By default you should not have such a situation though.

I was playing the builder scenario since it said it was good for beginners. I absolutely did not check any of my crew stats lol so that could be it. They build other things like the Scrubber and Tools Workshop.

I'll start a new game and make sure they have construction abilities, thanks!

I started a new game and one of my crew has Construction 3. Now the hull seems to be building itself lol. When the Tools Facility is built, a crew member works on it. With the hull, it's being constructed without anyone standing near it.

Ok thanks, I think it was the lack of crew skill that was the issue
