Nedix Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi, Did anyone encounter the following situation: I've deconstructed several buildings and even manufactured steel but the game still reports that I have no steel (see screenshot). Is there any way to get out of this or do I have to restart the game? Best, Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115026-steel-not-reportedcounted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodunit Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Is the location accessible to dupes? Any locked doors or such? Other thing i can think of is if you have construction queued up that uses steel, sometimes it takes a while to update.

Nedix Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 The location is accessible to dupes and I can even sweep the steel and store it in a container. I have no construction queued, the game simply "says" I have no steel.

whodunit Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hmm, that's weird. Try deconstructing the tile directly below the steel and see if that updates it.

Zarquan Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I believe when dupes are using material, it temporarily is treated as though it doesn't exist because the resource counter doesn't distinguish between delivering to a storage container and delivering to a construction or a building that will consume it. That's why, if you have exactly 200 kg of refined metal and you build a smart battery, it flashed "not enough resources." Personally, I think that is a flaw in the game, especially since you can't build with materials that the game doesn't think you have (at least, without a mod).

Nedix Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 @Zarquan I am aware of this mechanic and it's not the case. I have several thousands of kilos and still nothing is reported @whodunit I have steel in several containers and also moved them around and same result Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115026-steel-not-reportedcounted/#findComment-1299667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodunit Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That's really weird. If you wouldn't mind posting the save, I could load it up and see if I get the same result. Other than that, I guess reloading is the only option left. I've personally never experienced this before.

Oozinator Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Do you have any build orders for steel objects active, if so cancel, if not ^^ https://steamcommunity.com/app/457140/discussions/0/133262738419499414/ https://steamcommunity.com/app/457140/discussions/3/1368380934254032068/ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115026-steel-not-reportedcounted/#findComment-1299674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedix Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 You're (all) right, it was my mistake. I had a blueprint of a cooler "pasted" somewhere on the map to use it as a model and indeed it required steel. Once I canceled/deleted the construction the steel became available. Thanks for making me see that Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/115026-steel-not-reportedcounted/#findComment-1299749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
