Contract Bug - Engineering - Manufacturing Facility
Engineering - Manufacturing Facility
Location: Verdure
We are looking to build an manufacturing facility on Verdure. Finish construction on the site.

The above mission had me fly to the surface of verdure to complete the cargo container, smelter and assembler.
Then it wanted 12 heavy-duty plates crafted and taken to the inventory.
This is where the bug occurs. Upon grabbing the plates it says "Objective completed" and removes the todo item
"12 heavy-duty plates"
but never repopulates the todo list and continues to say
"Use the Smelter and Assembler to manufacture the following components and move them to your inventory."
I have tried adding more heavy-plates, taking via double click and taking via drag and drop. These do not solve the problem. The only solution was to go repair the batteries in the facility, even though there was no indication to do so, I had to interpolate that it might want that done since they were partially unassembled. This completes the contract and solves as a workaround.
I surmise the batteries were supposed to be constructed at the same time as the cargo container, smelter and assembler and were not listed as todos but were listed as final requirements for contract completion.
I recommend that the contract completion system be looked at as a whole, because this seems like a very likely place for many "softlocked" contracts in the future. Perhaps the final completion requirements should be built from the actual todo items instead of being created on their own?
Maybe I'm wrong about how you're building the contracts in the code, but this is my suspicion.
For what its worth I reloaded the time shortly after receiving the contract, after arriving at the location, and after gathering resources just before assembling the machines. The same bug occurred in all instances.
I have the same bug

Is a typo.
"build a manufacturing facility." is grammatically correct for English

I have the exact same bug. I'm at the same stage. It says objective completed when I transfer the Heavy plates to my inventory but does not proceed on to the next objective. It pretty much means that I cannot proceed with doing anymore contracts.

I had this issue, and luckily I was told (by someone who didn't experience this bug) that building some wire as well and putting it into your inventory as well works. It probably /is/ part of the requirements, it's just not being displayed.

Addendum. I don't believe batteries should have been on the original construction list. It seems that wires were just not listed for the assembler instructions, according to others. So they would have been a battery requirement. I see the flow now. I still stand by that the actual requirements needed to progress should be built by the todo items listed and not from underlying code. In case of a order of operations error or forgotten instructions this would still allow us to "figure it out" to progress, instead of being met with a blank list and no new instructions.

Awesome workaround :) It seems your theory is correct. Once I repaired one of the batteries, the quest log jumped to "Now repair the 2 batteries". (my save was from v2.0.2.2629. I loaded and was able to continue if this workaround on v2.0.2.33)
Edit: probably wrong version

V.39 : same bug

The Bug is, that the second part of the task "craft 8 wires" is missing (maybe its just 6 oder even 10, i cant remember what is missing in the baterries). If you craft them, the next part of the task "repair batteries" appears.

Strange, I got the 8 wires prompt and completed it, but got no prompt to make 12 heavy plates. It just showed "build the following: [nothing]" Does it depend on what we have in our inventory or what materials the assembler has access to?
I read last week's bug report about the same issue and then made the 12 plates successfully. That gave me the prompt for the batteries and I could complete it.
