I can't build ships
« on: January 12, 2020, 05:17:51 AM »

At first I thought this was just that I was trying to build $300,000 of ships with only $125,000 of production.  Each month I'd pay out the money and, I figured, after about four months they'd all be finished, right?  Wrong.  Six months later not a single one had been finished.

In frustration I cancelled the order and instead tried to build a single $40,000 frigate.  Again, $125,000 monthly production limit.  At the end of the month I was indeed charged $40,000 for the frigate but it was still shown in the build queue and, upon returning, no frigate had been built.

Oddly enough, I can build weapons and fighters aplenty just fine.  They get build in accordance to the queue and get tossed into my inventory no problem.

Here is my mod list, in case one of them is the culprit:

Archaen Order 1.3.4d
Boggled's Terraforming 3.0
Combat Analytics and Detailed Combat Results 4.5
Common Radar 2.5
Disassemble Reassemble v 1.6.9
ED Shipyard 1.9.9a
Grand Sector 0.2.1a
Interesting Portrait Packs 1.2
LazyLib 2.4e
MagicLib 0.24
Neutrino Corporation 1.85-RC4.1
Nexerelin 0.9.5h
Starship Legends 1.3.14
Tahlan Shipworks 0.3.13
ZZ GraphicsLib 1.4.1

Now I'm not sure, but my current guess is that Achaen Order might be causing the issue because it is the only one that I've added to that list in several months and this problem began only recently.  However, I also remember that it did not start at the exact same time that I added it.  This tells me that something might have happened in an update along the way to cause this issue.

Any clues or suggestions?

Generally speaking, this means that the ship you're trying to build does not have any variants specified in that mod's default_ship_roles.json. This is worked around in the next release - that is, it'll still build even if that isn't the case - but generally speaking, ship variants should be specified there regardless, so it's a bug in the mod, if you'd like to report it to the mod author. It's also a fairly simple one to temp-fix yourself if you know where the ship comes from.

Yes this is a known issue for Archean Order that will hopefully be addressed in the next update.

If you go to mod_info.json for the mod and remove this from the replace section it should solve your problem:

Code
	"data\\weapons\\weapon_data.csv",
       "data\\hulls\\ship_data.csv",
       "data\\hulls\\wing_data.csv",
       "data\\world\\factions\\default_fleet_type_names.json",
       "data\\world\\factions\\default_ranks.json",
       "data\\world\\factions\\default_ship_roles.json",

Glad to hear it. :) I haven't fully tested what all the implications of that are, yet, so if you find any weirdness let me know.
