PHQ Building

[JoeJinis]

Hello there,

From the start of the game I thought that there was only two "spots/links" to start building on the PHQ.

I saw this morning someone having buildings in other spots, then I checked and I can indeed see 3 other spots.

My issue is that I can't build on these spots, I try to add a docking module, it goes in place but remains red and won't be autorised to be validated.

What is really strange is that I can put a Simple Pier in this spot but nothing else Oo

Perhaps there's a vertical collision issue for that s/m dock.
Try to add a base connection module and then the dock.

[JoeJinis]

It's the same with a simple base connection module.
Which collision?

[BrasatoAlBarolo]

There shouldn't be a collision, but I was talking about a possible collision of the landing / undocking path of m ships with the main structure of the ring.

[JoeJinis]

There don't appear to be a passing or sitting vessel nearby :/

[BrasatoAlBarolo]

No no, I was thinking about the parallelepipede (is it right in English? It looks way too much like the Italian word...) going from the docking area up, the one who shows you the path your ships need to land. Is there any collision of that thing with the ring?

[JoeJinis]

Nope nothing at all :/
It becomes "red" even when approching the spot

I noticed it to. But I only bother with placing my docks on Number 1 of the Links (they are numbered from 1 to 5 if you fly around)
Because number 1 is almost always pointing to the middle of the sector so its an easy access point for incoming ships.

But I noticed same issue not only with headquarters but also with a split cross connection structure.
Even tho the sides of that structer are all the same. You can only place the dock on one side of it. Else you need to add another connection structure to fix the issue..

only two of the six can directly take a dock as the first connection. Not sure why.

For me, starting with a connection structure does the trick. Connection structure first then dock works fine for me.

[JoeJinis]

I will try different connecting structures then Oo

Six? You mean five? ^^

[zakaluka]

ya that's what I meant

[JoeJinis]

I just checked I can indeed put simple connecting structures but also a 8M long module can fit in ! This one is VERY strange, a simple dock cannot but a 8M can ! Oo

[BrasatoAlBarolo]

The position of the "landing path" is probably different, therefore it doesn't cause any collisions.

Major issue with building onto my PHQ.

Hitting the "confirm" button when finalizing a build plan resets the build plan.

I can sort of work around by setting the module settings from custom to high, then hitting confirm. This actaully does make it confirm the build plan.
The issue is, its only temporary. Build plans confirmed in this way will soon reset themselves on their own in about 5 minutes.

In short, its godamn impossible to actually make a build plan for my PHQ.

Please don't dig up three year old threads, relating to older versions of the game. Just start a new thread if there isn't a recent one.

With regard to the problem you're reporting, I believe it's one of the things that is fixed in the new 6.00 beta.
