Pressure Plate "Pressure Damage"

  • Branch: Live Branch Version: Windows Pending

For some reason, when constructing a pressure plate, it can become "over pressurized" and receive pressure damage. Even more odd, is instead of attempting to repair the broken building, duplicants will use the digging gun and "dig" the broken building, becoming endlessly stuck until food, sleep, or toilet calls.

What exactly triggered this bug is difficult to say, but the circumstances were:

  1. Replacing a mesh tile with the pressure plate
  2. Lots of material lying around, but not more than a 1-200Kg of debris
  3. Fertilizer synthesizer on top of the plate, lots of other pipes and stuff layered and build ordered while the pressure plate construction completed

I'll attach a screencap, with all logs and save, not sure how to reproduce this one. Deconstructing and rebuilding the pressure plate in the same spot does not produce the same result, the plates function normally.

Steps to Reproduce
Construct a pressure plate with lots of debris? Unclear, see save file.



User Feedback


the digging is from the active construction order passing through the block.   The work around:  build all your utility lines first then install the blocks and you won't have this problem.

Almost all of the utility lines had been constructed, and all ore blocks had been removed long prior to building the pressure plate. I can't think of any reason why the dupes would be "digging" to repair a block that has already been constructed.

Not only is it the wrong animation for repairing, the dupes attempting to repair are stuck there the entire cycle unless interrupted. Setting Operate, Construction, and all other priorities to disabled doesn't get them to stop, but disabling Dig jobs stops them.
