[2.0.28] Bots taking a long time to start placing landfill on Gleba

Post by Shimy92 »

I copy pasted some buildings into an area that needed to be landfilled first.
All construction bots stay idle, no landfill is being placed. I have 160k landfill and 16k idle bots. FPS/UPS is at roughly 60.
The blueprint color stays at "idle" (slightly darker blue)

After about 2-3 minutes the bots suddenly, all at once start placing the landfill and the conveyor.
The foundries which I placed a bit later will also be built after a minute long delay and 100% of the bots staying idle.

If I copy the same buildings onto an area that doesn't need landfill it will be placed immediately.

In the save I still have a lot of missing concrete placement orders,.
For testing i then removed all those concrete build orders. That greatly reduced the delay.
Then I also removed the jellynut soil build order, that reduced the delay to a few seconds only.

Nope.
Is it more than 100 MB? If so, you'll need to share it an external site (Google drive etc.)

You have a *ton* of outstanding requests to build concrete but don't have any available and it's taking a lot of time to get past checking those over to the landfill.

This is just the classic "built a boat-load of ghosts but don't actually have the materials to build them yet" issue.

Ok, thanks.
Didnt realize it would only impact landfill like that because everything that doesnt need landfill was still being placed right away. Good to know
