Universal Con bug : stuck and lost mats getting it unstuck

======= NOTICE FOR HELP =======

What happened?
=>
i put in 10 more penta seeds i created on my farm into the IN/OUT box for a total of 12 there of my Universal Constructor, an empty bay was at hand. I tried creating another penta bay but the constructor took the mats and got stuck producing. It said it needed 9 penta seeds but only 3 were in???. The IN/OUT box showed that 9 penta seeds were taken and only 3 left so the Uni Con started production but ran into a bug? I checked the IN/OUT box for capacity and aroun 40k volume was available which should be enough… Normally when bay and enough seeds are in production is a couple of seconds at most. As switching ON/OFF didnt help i removed the bay from production after switching it off as it was stuck forever now. The Uni Con started producing the next item but now i lack 9 penta seeds and probably also a bay

Hey, @mgaag.

I’m having a little difficult time following your explanation. So you were using a constructor to craft something, right? What were you crafting?

Hi Dr.Dark,

i was crafting the hydrophonic bay for penta crystals. It is a 3x3x1 device taking 9 hydrophonic plots, fertilizer and a lot more components and 9 penta seed crystals. They are placed on an empty hydro plot with a growing light directly above it. There are around 30 in my SpaceFarm right now and they look a little like an aquarium with the blue penta crystals growing in it and a white top to cover it. (you can also grow other crops in the bay if you unlock them but you have to supply an empty bay and 9 seedlings in a constructor). It yields 18 penta crystals in one click on harvesting every 2 hours.
The universal constructor was no longer progressing although i had an empty bay and nine penta seed crystals to start construction. There was no yellow clockwise indicator anything was progressing. Clicking on the queue saisd there was only 3 seeds but before i started there were 12. I stopped and restarted by powering off and on. Then i powered off and emptied the queue as nothing was happening anymore. The constructor was working again on the enxt item in the queue but i lost the empty bay and the nine penta seeds.

Okay, and it’s technically just 1 hydroponic bay you lost? Right?
I’d prefer a short and simple answer :slight_smile:

it is 1 hydrophonic pentaxid bay, not an empty bay


ya olde penta farm (many bays)

Okay, thanks.

We don’t really have any logs about it, but as a one-time exception I’ll take your word for it and return it next time I notice you offline.

I put it into your inventory now.
