Title: Cargo failed to load
Post by: Herode on July 31, 2011, 12:12:10 PM: I'm trying to load Terraforming Installation Components in a TF of 3 freighters (the ones designed in the tutorial, with 5 Cargo Holds free). The wiki says :
Quote
Terraforming Installation (25 holds in one go, or automatically broken down into parts)
so I expect 3/5 of the installation to be loaded, then I'll send back the TF to load the 2/5 left and complete the installation on the destination planet.

But when I order the TF to load the installation, I only get an error message in the Events Log : "Loading problem. Cargo Task Group failed to load Terraforming Installation Component. Please reschedule the orders for this fleet".

Any idea why the loading fails ?

So either I miss something or the wiki is wrong and the Terraforming Installation Component cannot be broken into parts (in v5. 42). In the last case, if some experimented players confirm, I'll modify the Wiki accordingly.

for some reason, the 3 initial freighters had not unloaded their previous cargo, so they had no cargo space available.
My bad. . .

At least, I now know where to check that ^^
