Custom ship designs un-buildable

#1 Post by darkkmage »

Hey folks, I've had a recurring issue throughout this gaming session of custom ship designs being producible and then disappearing and becoming un-producible. The designs still show up under the "All Known" tab, but they are listed as "Incomplete Ship Design" in spite of having been previously produced. This occurs even when the parts have not been obseleted and on planets that have all the prerequisite buildings to produce the ships in question.

The first screenshot shows a system that can produce other custom Titanic hulls but cannot produce the design in question (Titan Advanced Dropship).

The second screenshot shows the custom ship design in question, which I have called the Titan Advanced Dropship, listed here in the Saved tab.

The third screenshot is on the Finished tab. Here you can see other custom Titanic Hull designs (e.g. Titan DR) which are producible. This is the full list of all hulls that are producible (scrolling up/down does not reveal any other Titanic Hull designs). Even the premade Dreadnaught design is no longer producible. These designs are listed under "All Known" but have the label "Incomplete Ship Design."

The Titan Advaned Dropship custom hull design is just one of many designs this has happened to--currently all the custom hulls listed in the Saved tab screenshot have the same issue, I have just focused on the Titan Advanced Dropship as a case study here. It's also happened throughout the game at different points. I can't figure out what is wrong, or particularly why the hull design is valid and producible at one point in the game and then becomes an un-producible "Incomplete Ship Design" later.

FreeOrion version 0.4.10.1

Yeah, it's a common bug.

Not so common for me.

Well, I mentioned it at least twice, IIRC the first time I was told that it had been corrected in the last version, and the second time I was told that yes, there are problems with the Custom ship designs when reloading...

That's a shame, so it's a known issue with no present solution? Does it reproduce from the game save I attached for others?

I've only ever had this problem in multiplayer. Usually going into the saved tab, right clicking, add design to empire fixes it for me. Not sure what causes it. Sometimes a ship I've previously been able to build just vanishes.
