[2.0.42] Cannot Rebuild Cargo Landing Pad on Gleba

Post by surger1 »

Some biter eggs spoiled just as they got put down on Gleba and attacked my Cargo Landing Pad destroying it.

Now I am unable to place another one. I can set a ghost version but it will not be built, telling me it is missing the material for construction (I sent a new one to the planet)

Trying to place it shows no preview but also does not tell me there is another copy. Clicking simply does nothing.

Anyone else experience this issue? I've found no work around.... Gleba is a pain of a planet to not have cargo landing pads for...

Can you please post a save file showing this issue? Are you sure you didn't place a quality version of the landing pad by mistake?

I can confirm it's not due to quality. I've not developed any cargo pads with a quality module yet.

Additionally if I go to the planet myself and try to do it I am also blocked.

Another strange behavior is I am actually able through a series of menus to get it to ghost put down multiple cargo pads. It seems to have no issue while the other planets all are redded out and give me the warning. It's included in the save.

Here's the save file, let me know if a gdrive link won't work! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WGWnCy ... drive_link

There is no cargo landing pad in the logistics network on Gleba in your save file. Additionally, the "Traveler" platform has a *starter pack* in it, but no cargo landing pad.

Unless I missed something?

Good lord.... I guess the bug report is they appear so closely the same thing that I could not tell the difference even when you specifically told me.

Both are vaguely square with an identifying grey circle in the top right outlined by another blue circle. I can't be the first and I won't be the last. Change the blue, move that circle, something. That readability is rough when they achieve such similar functions in a similar menu. Maybe I am extra thick, but a player can't be wrong in making mistake.

Plus it'd be very helpful if I could NOT ghost down more than one cargo landing pad. The behavior seemed like a bug because why let me ghost down more than one if I can't build them? Maybe so I don't ghost it down someplace and forget it? Maybe delete the other ghosts then?

Though thank you for doing all the work to help me get that cargo landing pad back! Very very appreciated even if I'm just unobservant! Really top notch response. I confirmed it was me being daft. Cheers!
