in the latest game version (0.18.43) the drones come out but don't actually build anything. They just stand around.
When you pick up a drone it grabs an item , moves to the building location and stops there.

Tested with all other mods deactivated.

There is also no shortcut option in the mod settings or interface settings to activate/deactivate the drones.

There is the "Toggle Construction drones" option if that's what you're looking for.
On your toolbar click the 3 vertical dots on the top right to expand the menu, then select the check mark to show it.

I'm having the same problem, was working fine this afternoon but bots not working since update. They just sit about squarking at me.

Reverting to 18.42 fixes the issue.

fixed

The drones are still getting stuck when deconstructing rocks. They all freeze after the first rock is deconstructed

Yes, I can confirm, just like when 0.18.43 came out.

Edit: for anyone interested in temporary fix: https://github.com/Klonan/Construction_Drones/pull/20

tried your temp fix, didn't work.... well, when i use it on the old mod version, sure :D Mod updated and then applied fix:

working

nice done Oiltanker

@Ringkeeper experiencing issues?

Hope you meant the mistake

I have the problem what you see on the video. Sometimes the threats don't build anything but go back and forth.

It's not fixed with the fix. Only since version 0.18.43 before everything went well

I have the same issue as above. The Drones don't build my Bio Farms. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the size of the entity and then colliding with the collision box and thus can't build.

The image does not help much, but they just run back and forth.

Thanks

Have same issue

same happens to me. They just move back and forth where the building should be.

Oiltaner, tried your fix and didn't help. Drones still just move back and forth.
This used to be such a great mod :-( I guess have to go back to bots :-(

This can be hotfixed by changing line 15 of /script/construction_drone.lua
from: interact_range=4
to: interact_range=50

thank you LiaungYip, this fixed it for me.
I think 50 is a bit too high as it allows drones to put items down from way far, but makes them move so much more efficient and I'm keeping it.

should be fixed
