Colonization contract "Engineering - Manufacturing Facility" softlock
Submitted
While completing this colonization contract, after obtaining 12 heavy-duty plates from assembler, my contract progress didnt update. I tried re-retriving plates 1 by 1 and creating new ones in the assembler, but that didn't solve the problem.

Same. I have tried grinding and re-building assembler. I have tried loading backup save. I have tried exit to desktop and relaunching. Nothing works

I needed to abandon it, restart it and do it again to see that it needed 8 wires too

I have this same issue with the heavy plate. Also, the previous one with the Cargo Box retrieval was not completing, I ended up pushing them by hand out of the warehouse and back in and it completed it. Also When landing on the surface a couple of times the game has crashed.

Crafted and picked up the 12 Heavy Plates.
Fixed it. I had wires from before in the ship and it did not tell me to grab them.

I also received the soft-lock where progress was not showing after making the heavy plates. However I just crafted 8 wires as well courtesy of Joe's response, and the quest updates.
The problem doesn't seem to be the questing system, its the UI's display of the quest that's bugging.

Similar to the OP's screenshot, mine does not say what components to manufacture at all so I have no way to know how to complete this contract other than to manufacture every component until it hopefully works.
Edit: I noticed there were 2 unfinished batteries in the front of the base, I built these batteries and it completed the objective (didn't have to manufacture anything, just used components I already had)

This indeed seems to be an issue of the UI/Contract Info not displaying correct or complete information. The Heavy Duty Plates and Wire are required for the last step of the contract, which is to repair the partially-constructed batteries on the base. For some reason, the contract does not show the bit about assembling the wires.
Its *possible* that I already had wires in my inventory, so the objective got marked complete, but I cannot confirm this.

Thank you for your comments and help, The Wire not being in the inventory was indeed the problem. The contract bit needs to be updated to include the wire requirement. The contract works however, is misleading by the omission of this requirement. Thank you again for all of your comments and help. I can now move on in my journey in this new world. :)

I had the same problem. Crafting the 8 wires and putting them in my inventory with the 12 heavy duty plates caused the contract to proceed to the next step. Thanks all!

Ah yes that was so annoying. It takes so long to fly to the other side of the planet to get this bug.

The sub-objective of the 12 heavy duty plates showed as complete for me, but then I just have...
From someone's mention of wires here, I went and picked wires out of my ship and it completed lol. Thanks.

The issue is that the contract does not tell you to make wire (or get copper I guess because I didn't make wires), and then repair the two damaged batteries in the rest of the station.
Repair those batteries and it should be good to go.

I experienced this too, though I was fortunately able to guess the solution.
