Hello DrDozer, I noticed like another post here that transport drones would not work unless you had a string of connected transport drone tiles in the middle of asphalt roads you create. In your "data-updates.lua" line 34 you had set to "if name:find(arci_prefix, 1, true) == 1 then". I changed it to "if name:find("Arci-asphalt", 1, true) == 1 then" and the asphalt roads behave as intended, allowing drones to path to depots without a string of transport drone roads

edit: ok further playing into my save, changing it to "Arcti-asphalt" did fix them pathing on it, but not sending out new "orders", however I changed it to name:find("Arci-", and it works perfectly now, sending and receiving shipping orders between depots

edit edit: I'm dumb, I don't code, more info is on the github but I think I got it to work for real for real

I'm looking into this. I think essentially this same issue has been multi-reported.

Apologies - this appears to be a regression within the Melinge fork of transport drones. I will coordinate with them to get this fixed.
