Does an asteroid base not form strong links?

[taynor]

I recently finished a refinery hub on the planet below my asteroid base, which is also the primary port for this system. From my understanding this should create a strong link between the refinery and the asteroid base. But i only see a weak link and the refinery market on the base is accordingly pitiful. I also have a comm station in the system, but that installation does not form links, so nothing unexpected there.

Am I missing something and this is intended behavior, or is this a bug?

Edit: The asteroid base is in the rings around a hmc planet. Not in an asteroid belt.

It may be it needs a server tick to knock it over properly - i've had mine sometimes not show properly for a day. If you let me know the system i'll take a look, though you're right, it should be a strong link.

Thanks for confirming, that I can read patch notes xD
Will wait for a server and/or maintenance tick and check if that resolves the issues. I read in other post that people had similar problems and managed to "knock" the port in the right place by building another installation around the same planet. But I only have one slot, so I'm reluctant to try that.

The "build another thing" didn't have to be in the same location, just the same system. For some reason, for some of us, the System only updated once something was built and excluded the last thing built in the calculations. So, you can build anything anywhere to 'force it'. I will say though, since the Update 3 dropped, i've not had this specific issue since.

Good to know, will try that tomorrow after the server tick.

My asteroid base in an asteroid belt only has weak links.

Server tick happend and nothing happened. Build another installation, same result. Asteroid base still got no strong link to the surface facility on the planet, only a weak one. The other weak link is from the relay station I just build.
