Construction Drone Metal Ore Delivery

Construction drones should deliver Metal Ore to supported unfinished structures, including the Pumping Station and Landing Drone Pad, after 1.0.1. Check whether the target is actually under construction and still requesting ore before following a drone. A timber shortage, completed target or wrong resource is a different problem from the delivery bug addressed by this patch.

CURRENT FIELD NOTES

What to record if it still happens

For construction drone metal ore delivery, keep the observation narrow: the installed version, affected object, state before the action and result afterward. A screenshot can establish a displayed requirement; a short clip is better for a routing or timing problem. Separate what you saw from what you think caused it. The checks above organize a report and do not claim to repair a save.

FIELD SEQUENCE

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Confirm the starting point

    Read the unfinished structure’s resource request and distinguish Metal Ore from wood.

  2. 02

    Check the relevant condition

    Check whether the ore requirement is already satisfied before expecting another delivery.

  3. 03

    Make the comparison

    Follow the drone from source to this target after updating the game.

  4. 04

    Verify the outcome

    If delivery fails with an active ore request, capture the structure name, request state and installed version.
