Just last night I wanted to build a bunch of orbital fabricators and mass build. it seems that after the 3rd or so fabricator that all building started to get stuck in a half built state. From what I can tell, if I pull an orbital fabricator from a task, when I put him back on said building task the structure he was building will stay at half finished. I state that I had multiple fabricators because it seems like the bug is more present the more orbital fabricators that I had. I got to the point where I had 7 half built anchors that I could not finish due to lack of progression no matter how many fabbers I put on one of them. Also my fabrication bots seem to be pointing in the wrong direction when fabricating anything in orbit.
I have seen this as well, even with single fabbers. From what I can tell it gets more common later in the game.
I had it happen to me in a recent game as well. Have you filed a bug report for it? @teg198 @nixtempestas
I will when I get out of work. As a programmer I feel the need to make sure that I am not the only one and that it is not an issue local to my computer/framework.
Orbital fabricators are a bit touchy to work with. * Sometimes they will not start a new project (have to issue a new build order) * If you stop a project, they will never able able to restart it * Either they can't reclaim wrecks when trying to clean up the ground for a teleporter or they really suck at it. They just seem to spew nanites forever and nothing happens.
