Builders and materials deliveries - is it just me?


Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or are other people having a bit of difficulty with the builder dupes in the Cosmic Preview Branch?  So, here's what I'm seeing:

Builder on super priority for building.  If the materials aren't delivered, the builder doesn't actually go fetch the supply for what he's building first.  In particular distant metal digs are being ornery about loading up the work order.  The dupe then runs down the entire list of normal priorities for supply (including watering the flowers, dropping off dirt to research, feeding the coal generator, etc) until he eventually gets to HIS job, of supplying the materials to the build site. 

In odd cases even putting your builder on very high building and high supply will still have them wander off to go drop off coal in the local storage chest.

It's becoming incredibly frustrating.  What have y'all been doing to avoid this?  Obviously I'm missing *something* because otherwise the entire board would be up in arms.

i didn't notice anything weird they build stuff same as before, but there is a rare case that if a build queue already has the materials supplied they wont continue to build it unless you cancel and place it again.

i also noticed that buildings or tiles now shows what material is used, they finally added it

I think it's been fixed actually.  There's two main builders in my base.  Joshua Bridgebuilder isn't allowed into slimelung territory, so I knew why he was thinking storage was his new best friend.  Max von Grainhauler (don't judge me, the names work for me... XD) however was having a hard time getting out to the gold to actually build something.  He seemed to love just dragging in all the Meal Worms and coal he could find.

After this new patch, whatever they did with the framerate problem seems to have cured Max's delivery woes. 

Thanks @Cheerio!
