Munitions bench doesn't continually produce #289

Closed Sidewinder1138 closed 5 months ago

Sidewinder1138 commented 5 months ago

Description

I have the munitions bench working making bullets, but after my crew guy makes a full "bullets" package, he just gives up. If I set it to Stop and then back to Bullets, then the bullets are unloaded and he will make another one.

So I can't seem to get it to continually produce, but if I fiddle with it, it works.

Flavour affected

Steam

Operating System

Windows

Version

Alpha 9

Is it something that used to work before?

No

Expected behavior

Should be able to just set the munitions bench to make Bullets continuously.

Actual behavior

Only makes one bullet package at a time.

Repro steps

See description.

Do you have a cargo spot allocated for bullets somewhere ? If so, the production will work to fill this then stop. If you want to produce/ build up more, allocate more specific Bullet spaces, or deallocate the ones you have / set them to generic Cargo, and production will roll on unabated. This is a recent feature in A8 or A9 I think, to stop ships filling up willy nilly and just produce what they need for the assembly line; I like it but can also see why players might want the option to set it one way or the other.

Or if none of that makes sense or works, please share a savegame and I’ll take a look.

Oh!! Ok, my bad I am still catching up on the Alpha update videos 😅 . I will give that a try and probably close this, thanks for the info!

Greeba77 commented 5 months ago

Not sure this even made the videos, I think it was just in the patch notes.

Sidewinder1138 commented 5 months ago

Seems to work as you described, closing.

No worries. By the way, have you tried the Discord? Good way to get tips from the community, and chat about the game in general.
