Soft lock and Ghost markers related to Grinding and progression
If you encounter a contract site before accepting it and grind down necessary items, the contract will be soft locked. If you grind down the ore detector on the platform before it tells you to weld it, it will not count even if you put back another ore miner at the same place or another. This same "issue" of being disobedient to the preordored path will yield conflicting results such as these or less harmful ones like leaving the markers of let's say a drill in a cave in those early contract because it was deconstructed to build the other drill but because you have a "checkpoint" that lets you do so and still accomplish the first part of the contract, doing the second and concluding the contract whilst the other marker is still there will forever lock it in place.
I have the same bug
