Sending ressources-network problem.

[DanielRein]

hello , i have a little problem and i think its a game mistake ?

my english is not the best , i could explain it a lot better in german but i keep it simple.

i have a network of outposts on many planets and they buildind a network that should send ALL ressources to my mainbase.

the problem is argon and helium-3 getting stuck on one base. a lot of ressources going out there and argon and helium-3 never get out of the outgoing container , the ship that gets the ressources from the outgoing container and take them to my mainbase always choses all the other ressources but NOT the helium-3 and argon .. well at last the argon never comes to my mainbase for sure. its stuck in the outgoingcontainer on an outpost cause the ship always takes only the other ressources from the container.

the problem cant be that i have no space at my mainbase to store the stuff so it cant come it. nono i HAVE space even for gas and the containers are connectet correctly.

i hope they fix this problems soon. like this the ressouce network is not working good.
by the way i was spending like 2,5 days ONLY for this ressouce shipping systhem to get it work so .. i did my best.

ofc i could try to fix it by create more shipping links and send the argon seperate to get sure i get it on my mainbase .. would be possible cause i have until now only 2 shipping links on my mainbase so i could make an extra one ONLY for agron.. but this is not how it should be .. the game should manage all ressources and not ignore some so they getting stuck on the way.

i already createt 2 seperate shipping link snakes that dont touch eatch other to split all the ressources in 2 . there are SOOO many different ressources it must be possible to send at last 10 different ressouces on 1 shipping line.

im not sure how the ressouce transfer works in the game but i was able to fix the problem by place more containers for ressouces on the outposts where the ressouce got stuck, after that the argon came to my mainbase. lets see if this extreme complicatet system keeps working or if i need to keep make more and more extra containers to keep it work :sad:

i think the problem was the following :

at one base there where coming so much solid ressouces more then liquids or gases , so the solid ressouce container where always full but the gas and liquid container where not. so the game decidet only send the ressouces from the containers that where full in the outgoing container. the argon as example got stuck cause of this in the gas container wile the iron as example got sendet. ... really complicatet man :D

Noticed a similar problem where HE-3 simply stopped getting delivered across some route, whereas the link pad still said "incoming resources HE-3".

Unlike in your case, the outpost in question only produced HE-3 and nothing else. Visiting the failing outpost fixed it.

 

I think the workshop system is extremely rough and unfinished atm.

The bulldozing doesn't work right either; When I get back to an outpost, I often find rocks and trees inside my structures.

And something is very wrong with workshop placed lights; When I place some on a planet, I will find stray lights appearing in unrelated locations on that planet.
