Orbis empty of life

Hello,

On Saturday, March 22nd, I finished my Orbis. It orbits a brown dwarf. It's therefore in the colony market by default since it activated the following Thursday.

However, not only is the market empty, but I haven't had the expected population increase.

I'd like to know what's going on.

"Things which are built don't always fully activate" is a known bug (or more likely set of bugs). It seems that the various things which need to update - population, system sliders, markets, economy influence, etc. can all go independently wrong, too.

About all we can do with it at the moment is hope that Frontier runs a catch-up at some point to set all our things to fully active (though unless doing that is very efficient, they'll probably wait until they're sure they only need to do it once, which may be never)

(I asked Support about a similar case in my system: they don't have any way to fix it themselves on an individual basis - and would be doing nothing else if they did, I guess - and the issue is recorded so there's not much else to do there)

I think you can only change the economy by placing something in another spot around the same body. That’s how it worked for me at least.

I finished my orbis last week with a colony economy over a water world with two additional orbital slots. Just missed the server update on Thursday too. Over the weekend, I filled the other two slots with a space farm and orbital science outpost. By Monday (yesterday as of this post), the economy of the orbis changed to agricultural.

I think it’s stuck as a colony economy if you don’t have another spot next to it to use though.

It would be nice if they just allowed us to pick an economy ourselves once the place is finished just like picking a name.

If your market has no goods at all to buy or sell, this sounds like this bug: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/74155
We struggle with that one for a month now, and nothing happened. Please add your own experience to it, in case you also suffer from an empty market.

If it sells Biowaste and Fuel, it is working as intended.

Added a confirmation, so it should only need one more of those to get to Confirmed.
(But it's probably only got a few more days before it expires instead...)

Thank you! Didn't know that "confirmed" works on a per-user-vote basis. So 10 confirmations are needed? I get those in no time ;-)

10 confirmations from different accounts, none of which are the original submitter, within the 28-ish-day window. Sometimes it fails to register for no apparent reason and actually needs 11 or 12.

(Other Frontier products only require 3 confirmations, but we're particularly untrustworthy and prone to making up fictional bug reports here.)
