Just finished a military base and went to start a science outpost. Selecting construction on orbital slot successful with processing screen coming up. When that is finished, the slot isn't marked to begin construction. Tried it three times with no luck. At the top of the UI, I have 5 concurrent constructions available. I do have six construction sites still up even though the facilities have been built. Has anyone else had a similar experience or is it ticket time?
Limit to colony construction (sites)
- Thread starter Cymoril
- Start date
I have the same problem, cannot start a new comms installation. Have still got 4 construction points.

I was able to start a surface Settlement... but anything orbital is locked out
I too have experienced the same problems today. I started a large bio settlement yesterday, and finished to day. I built it so I could build the research station. For that I need a T2 point but cannot seem to start off a space farm. I get the confirmation screen, then nothing appears. It may be a UI problem.
I've tried to start a farm too yesterday and encountered the same problem. Thought it might just be server backlog but nothing had appeared overnight and trying to build in a different slot I still see the two green messages but no construction appears. I've not hit the concurrent limit so I don't think that's the problem.
I have just tried again (satellite this time), and again no do. When I am in one of the screens it shows 5 construction slots available, but in another only 2 slots available. The system pop is being updated as is the economy.
Yep, got the same with a surface settlement. No obvious reason that I can see. I suspect we may be waiting until the Thursday tick to sort this out or another server maintenance slot to be announced.
Just logged back into the game and nothing has fixed itself overnight. Not sure what to do now as I don't want to try again in case the first one reappears at some point.

If that happens then I'll set up another settlement after the Thursday tick. The bug seems to be hitting orbital construction projects exclusively.
two completely different pair of shoes mate.
What last Thursday did take ages was generating all the BGS-Matrices for the newly build assets and newly colonized systems, after which the BGS Calculation can start only (the ususal BGS Tick ~45 min).
Whats going on now is something completely different - the UX-processing server doesn´t communicate with the asset-filing storage IMHO - so just bad linking server-side....
@Paul_Crowther could we get a feedback if FDev is working to fix that?
My asteroid base was completed prior to the tick but is still under deployment. My system has increased pop and changed economy and security, often on a daily basis.
So, no real idea what is going on.
yep, my system too - my Outpost showing "Under construction" since to weeks
(lazy bunch of workers...)but Pop and Stats are going up nicely and the market is Rocket! (Hightec Outpost)
Happy to, will get back to you after a few minutes.
yep, with me orbital and surface working again - before both not....
Thanks for the heads up!
