Thank you kindly for your answer and your time, it was great help!

One thought is: have you assigned a class to the shipyard? Shipyards can only build ships of an assigned class or sufficiently similar design.

Here's the Survey Vessel:
Abdiel class Survey Vessel 2,804 tons 42 Crew 310.5 BP TCS 56 TH 250 EM 0
4458 km/s Armour 1-17 Shields 0-0 HTK 15 Sensors 16/0/0/2 DCR 0-0 PPV 0
Maint Life 3.30 Years MSP 534 AFR 126% IFR 1.7% 1YR 74 5YR 1,110 Max Repair 150 MSP
Captain Control Rating 1 BRG
Intended Deployment Time: 18 months Morale Check Required
Apollo Commercial Ion Drive EP250.00 (1) Power 250 Fuel Use 5.30% Signature 250 Explosion 5%
Fuel Capacity 150,000 Litres Range 181.6 billion km (471 days at full power)
Thermal Sensor TH1.5-16.5 (30%) Thermal Sensor TH1.5-16.5 (30%) (1) Sensitivity 16.5 Detect Sig Strength 1000: 32.1m km
Improved Geological Sensors (1) 2 Survey Points Per Hour
This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes
This design is classed as a Survey Ship for auto-assignment purposes
I even designed a pure commercial ship just to double check (so it's pretty random\bad):
Acheron class Freighter 34,962 tons 57 Crew 344.2 BP TCS 699 TH 500 EM 0
715 km/s Armour 1-95 Shields 0-0 HTK 19 Sensors 0/0/0/0 DCR 1-0 PPV 0
MSP 6 Max Repair 62.5 MSP

Intended Deployment Time: 13 months
Apollo Commercial Ion Drive EP250.00 (2) Power 500 Fuel Use 5.30% Signature 250 Explosion 5%
Fuel Capacity 250,000 Litres Range 24.3 billion km (392 days at full power)

When you retool a shipyard for the new ship
Does the ship have military engines? If so must be a naval yard
Is the size of the ship smaller than the yard you are trying to retool, it must be or you will not have a choice to retool that yard for the ship
If your ship is smaller than the shipyard and you have the right engines it is odd.
So check your decimal seperator that could break this as well as everything else , if all of those are correct post a screenshot of the ship design and the yards screen maybe

« on: January 26, 2025, 03:28:20 PM »Well, every 3 years or so i try and come back to this game, but for the first time I cannot even build a simple Survey ship. When I try to build the SV in the shipyard it doesn't appear in the shipyard list (or any other ship i designed anyway). Military or commercial alike. I really have no idea what am I doing wrong... any suggestion? Is it a bug?
