Title: Civilian freghters on strike?
Post by: Vanigo on February 03, 2010, 02:30:21 PM

In my current game, my civilian shipping lines seem to have decided that the best thing to do is leave all their freighters and colony ships in Earth orbit, rather than running the incredibly lucrative Earth-Mars trade route. Both planets are sitting there with huge stocks of goods the other planet wants, and I've got a few outsystem colonies that would like some infrastructure, but the freighters don't seem to care. Going through and clearing all the orders seemed to work once, but after a trip or two they went right back to idling. I'm not really sure what's going on with this.

Are you sure they're actually sitting there, and not completing a round trip each increment?  Be aware that civilian shipping generally does not issue events about what it's doing, unless you wrote government contracts to move something.  It should be generating tax income on the F2 'Population & Production' window and moving around the F3 'System Map' window.

Yeah, I'm sure. The recent deliveries thing showed nothing but passenger liner trips. Deleting the government contract stuff I had and resetting all the orders seems to have fixed the problem, though.

Aha!  Did you say that you had made some contracts for moving e.g. factories around?  That's probably the source of the problem, since that's new functionality.

You should probably repost this issue (make sure to point out the contract part) in the "Official Bugs" thread.  Steve has requested that people not spawn new bug threads, because he reads them once and then can't find them again.  You can find out more about this by reading the "where to post" FAQ.
