[FL-573][Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
Hello,
I was playing around with the Build Command Software Mk3 and noticed a problem.
It seems the TL buys a surplus of stations each time it builds a complex. It buys more than what is specified in the complex plan that I gave it, and then the stations sit in it's cargo bay.
This was the complex plan(11 stations in total)
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... C84112414/
This was the result.(Notice the cargo space for the Mammoth)
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 7F9BE6A83/
Cargo bay for the Mammoth(after the complex is done)
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... DBAE8A2C1/
The transaction report(Notice it bought 13)
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ ... 34DC8E2AF/
I used a Custom/Modified game:
-max rep Teladi and NMMC
-all Teladi sectors discovered
-500.000.000 credits
-satelites in all known sectors
The rest of the settings were default I believe.
I also used the Cheat pack installed through X Plugin Manager.
I tested this multiple times. Twice, trying to build in around Seizwell. And once in Argon Prime alpha. Results were always the same. The TL buys 2 unsolicited factories. The first time I tried in Seizwell I did without the Cheat package. Pure vanila.

Re: [Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
I also notice the TL does not use it's jumpdrive while running around back and forth from shipyards to the construction site. I'm not sure how to feel about that.
Re: [Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
For me yes he will buy extra stations as well and at some point it can happen that he would get overcrowded so he can't buy new stations and doesn't want to drop any anymore but also there seems to be a bug if you want to build a complex that contains a number of ore or silicon mines in a zone where asteroids are closely packed the TL will just get stuck into a infinite loop of flying around asteroids and not deploying any mines. A temporary fix i have been using to get rid of extra stations in cargo hold was using a cheat script to remove stations from the hold that have already been deployed and then resuming the complex builder. That seems to get it going again, at least for a while until he gets stuck again
TL cannot automatically build complex
I have the following complex setup:
I've ordered TL to build it and everything was good until it stuck. I've checked his cargo and see that TL bought some factories twice and don't know what to do with that
Save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/63bs3f2pgwun48n/X07.sav?dl=0
P.S. It's happening for me not first time, previous complex wasn't build to

Re: TL cannot automatically build complex
I already reported this issue here viewtopic.php?f=199&t=438701
But it seems it got no acknowledgement from the devs.

Re: TL cannot automatically build complex
yeah, looks similar to mine, however I don't have modified game, hope this time somebody answersbounty_hunter66 wrote: ↑Wed, 26. May 21, 09:39I already reported this issue here viewtopic.php?f=199&t=438701

Re: TL cannot automatically build complex
Well you aint the only ones having trouble with autobuilding complexes with your own TL.
It works fine for me if i hire one. However if i use my own it gets stuck building mines.

Build Complex TL not placing mines
I'm trying to build a closed-loop complex with my TL and it has the following:
- BoFu factories
- SPP
- Bio Gas
- Chip plant
- Ore/silicon/nividium mines
For placing regular stations, my TL builds just fine. But when it tries to place mines, it just sits at the gate doing nothing. I see it try to "fly to position" but it then reverts to doing nothing. Am I missing anything else for it to place mines?

Re: Build Complex TL not placing mines
Same issue here. It refuses to place mines. Probably a bug.

Re: Build Complex TL not placing mines
It refuses to place mines and also buys duplicate factories that waste money and hold up cargo space.

Re: Build Complex TL not placing mines
Can also Confirm. i just tried to build a weapon complex. but my TL refuses to build the mines and has a spare solar power plant in his cargo bay for some reason after it already placed one. even though i only wanted to build one. i think i will just use the service for now
Re: [FL-573][Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
There will be some improvements to the complex planner in 1.2
and the Build Complex command should start working correctly, including building mines and buying the correct number of stations and extension kits.
This also includes being able to expand an existing complex

As an aside, any advice for players like me who have a system full of a half-finished megaplex? Will resuming the command/build order in 1.2 be able to resume and complete without issue? Or should I start packing them now

Re: [FL-573][Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
It should resume the order fine
And if its currently running the command it should just start moving again after the update without needing to restart the command

Re: [FL-573][Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
Will one of the improvements be a way to specify "sources" for the various stations in a complex build-plan (or maybe this is already possibly and I've just missed it)? For instance I have one of my agents embedded at a shipyard negotiating discounts and would prefer it if my TL used that shipyard to buy as much as possible (even if it's further away), or I have pre-made several of the stations at my HQ and would prefer it if my TL used those instead of buying new ones.There will be some improvements to the complex planner in 1.2
I've seen something like this when selecting "deployment" on the complex-planner, it'll list the shipyard for each individual factory (and even seems to set the HQ as shipyard for those factories I have a blueprint for) but I don't see a way to specify the "discounted" shipyard here and when I order my TL to start building according to the plan it still heads out to a normal shipyard to pick up stations that I have premade and in storage at the HQ.
As it is I'm loading the premade stations onto the TL manually before ordering it to build the complex, which will cause it to use the factories in its cargo-hold instead of buying them at a shipyard. If the complex contains more factories than can be loaded in one go I'll order it back to the HQ after it's done deploying the first batch, load the next and have it resume complex construction, however this micromanagement takes away a lot of the utility in the complex-builder.
Edit: Would also request that the TL use the closest jumpgate to the complex-location when jumping to a sector to deploy stations as part of a complex.

Re: [FL-573][Bug]Build Complex not working correctly
I too seem to face some issues with building complexes even though I do it old school by dropping each station manually and then connecting them afterwards to the hub/docking...
My questions or issues:
1) I have a complex consisting of 9 factories with my 2 TL's parked around 25 KM away. Both TL's have several complex extensions kits left in their cargo. I have dropped 5 new factories next to the existing building complex but none of the TL's are allowed to drop any more complex extensions (greyed out) to connect the dropped factories. I am certain the factories are within range of the complex hub to be connected. Is there a limit somehow to the number of factories you can connect ? Like I said... I am not using the Building Command Software but dropping stations manually from the cargo choosing Build.
2) When ordering the 2 TL's to move to my player headquarter they do not seem to move at all... But it reads 1ms in speed ? Is that because I am still in the same system ? I think I read earlier in posts that people have difficulties making them dock or maneuvre at all if they are in the same system in as the players "observer" ship.
3) Has there been any changes to how far a complex can expand from the hub point or docking compared to AP?
4) Another annoying issue just emerged... It seems I lost mouse flying control also after dropping the stations
