7.60 English
modified start but mods are disabled
Originally started in the uncocooned start but is now persisting in all playthroughs

Explanation: so there i was going along doing missions when I started a make a base mission, I got everything together and finished the mission but when i went to move on the construction ship i had did not move I tried everything taking direct control, physically moving the ship with another one, replacing the commander, going back a save, EVERYTHING but nothing was working so i decided to sell it and get another one but that one started not working as well so I said screw it and started a new playthrough but now that one is bugged ass well i am desperate for any fixes because anything on google is either outdated and not working or not relevant at all please help.

If you would provide a saved game that demostrate the problem it will help tto determine the cause (see very first stickky thread here in ths forum).

The download is asking for a Google account rather than being open public sharing.

To save some time, what orders/actions are the builders showing when stuck? As examples do they show they are doing something such as 'deploying to station/moving to ... ', 'waiting for drones', 'finishing up', 'undocking', 'transferring/exchanging ...' , 'resupplying' , or something else? It sounds as though they are engaged in a critical order/action that cannot be interrupted.

Perhaps rather obvious, but do they have any construction drones?

after i give them the order to build at the station and starts using the drones i am unable to move/ pilot it yes it has drones when i try to pilot it the commander tells me they are busy, anyways it just says deploy to station: (what ever station i have it ordered it to) i tried removing the order manually but as you guessed it was labelled critical

[Goodguy97]

I made a new save and so far the bug has not happened yet but I would still like to know if there is a fix so i can fix it in the future

EDIT: went back to the OG save that had the problems and it is still bugged

[Alan Phipps]

We won't know as the save link is not open public access.

[Goodguy97]

What website would you recommend to share the save file I'll send it over right away

EDIT: I think i found a site that allows sharing without an account https://filebin.net/ioywlmfnd4z6agia

Hi, I loaded your save. The first thing is that the save is marked modified so I had to be careful not to autosave in my game. I was surprised to find myself in far Boron space and with no teleport to your PHQ and builder in the galaxy centre, but never mind.

The builder had finished construction at your PHQ with no more scheduled build tasks and, as it has a low skill captain, it might be a bit slow doing things. After a few minutes its orders automatically changed from deploy to station (your PHQ) to 'finishing'/'waiting for drones'. All of these are critical order states and cannot be interrupted. Eventually it started to move a bit away from the station while still waiting for drones to recover and then finally after all that it allowed its assignment as builder to the PHQ and orders to cancel, and other orders such as 'move to' could be given.

I think that it is working as intended but you have a very slow builder captain.

Very odd it might be me then because I later tried waiting with a seta for 10 min straight while occasionally tring to cancel the order i will check it out later but for now I guess case closed
