Ape Apps

I'm playing Alpha Draconis on an offline game (because the firewalls at work block online use) and found an interesting issue where obsidian bugs try to harvest obsidian in areas where they cannot physically access yet, while completely ignoring the obsidian around a powered materials silo. For the record, the silo is powered on, and my current obsidian is only 5.4k/185k, so I'm not storage capped.



Attached screenshot of the navigation issue. The diamond extractor in the image is working just fine, currently has a deposit mined out 2380/3500 and going, despite a second deposit being close and inaccessible. I tried closing the game and relaunching my world, but the issue persisted. Any tips?

Yea this happens quite a bit. The simple fix is to clear the path of the bugs to the ore, or to tell them to move to an area and then telling them to harvest. This will reset where they want to go, but nevertheless, this is indeed a bug that needs to be fixed.

Yeah, I keep moving them to the area in question then hitting "harvest" but the obsidian deposits (which should be harvested quickly at 8/8) stay there no matter what. It's really annoying and I'd rather not destroy all my obsidian deposits.

What's your colony name? I can send you billions of obsidian for your troubles lol.

I appreciate it but my colony is an offline one because our company firewall prevents me from using online features successfully. I'm surprised I can even access the forums. Regardless, it's "SR-388", a reference to Metroid Fusion.
