Issue: Suddenly several of my resource stats zero out which also greys-out the build menu irretrievably halting game play as no action will repair the situation.
Condition: Replicated
Background: It may be coincidental I was, at the time, testing out an exploit Infinite Storage Trick. However, my experiment involved only two of the 5 bins on hand. I was able to replicate the problem with several iterations, all resulting in resources zeroing (see pics: note these are from one testing iteration where I deconstructed the airlock).
Thinking that maybe the problem was somehow created by storage settings, or the particular set of compactors I had, I reverted to previous autosaves before the zeroing and alternatively changed the settings, created new compactors, sweep order or not, etc. As well, I tried playing through the bug making these same adjustments, also to no avail. No matter what I tried the same result occurred and gameplay could not proceed. The game runs, but no new resources gathered or stored (specifically raw mineral and a couple others) resolves the error.
Post Bug Report Findings:
1. I thought I'd try one last idea. Again loading a save file before the bug, I deconstructed the two compactors and set all the ejected resources for sweeping, built a new compactor set to "all", then closely watched resource stats. Sandstone began to increase but would inexplicably drop again and again until it, once again, bottomed to zero despite dupes continuing to store the ejected resources.
2. Proceeding with game play with a save prior to experimenting with the exploit, I've successfully passed the cycle where the bug occured.
Additional Info: This forum software has many issues with Android and will not allow uploading of the DxDiag txt file type. Trying to rename the file to another file type results in an error msg to contact forum admin. My gaming machine is currently/usually off a network, so I can try to upload it at a later time. I won't copy and paste it due to security concerns. Alternate suggestions welcomed. I also have prepared an archive with B4/after save files.
Thx for such a great game! <3
Build storage bin on top of a tile with a landscape oriented manual airlock, manually open airlock and then dump storage container contents.
