g Construction is stuck

2 months ago

I supplied the materials and started construction, but nothing happens. Is there something I'm missing? The instructions don't mention anything else. It says "item ingredient shortage" but supplying more materials doesn't help.

investigating! Sit tight

Just quickly - are you trying to insert materials directly into the space elevator, or are you inserting them into the chest below the space elevator?

i tried both variants - no success

I also tried both variants. But that's good to know it isn't just me. I tried playing with no other mods and the issue persisted so I don't think it's a compatibility thing.

El_Doctoro, Overmind_x - v0.3.2 has just been released and fixes this bug. :) You may or may not have to pick up and put down the space elevator again - in my testing the construction just began again without needing to interact with the space elevator.

The "Item Ingredient Shortage" is an unintended display bug from the base game's rocket silo (the space elevator is based off that entity) so you can safely ignore it. :) In a future update I will likely swap off this entity so I can remove that status message.

Wow, you work quick. The fix worked and it started as soon as the save loaded. Excellent mod by the way.

It looks like quality items don't work with the elevator. It adds normal quality items to the receiving end but doesn't remove the quality item on the delivering end.

Hmm interesting! I haven't tested quality stuff yet. I will investigate today :)

El_Doctoro - I think I've fixed it - v0.3.3 released. Please let me know how you go with quality items now :) Thanks for reporting it! I never play with quality so I totally forgot about this part of the game haha.
