Vehicles not being repaired

[bleuscyther]

Once I put the vehicles in the garage they are not being repaired or get partially repaired. The garage keep saying "waiting for ressource". I have fuel. I even put the fuel on a stockpile right in front of the garage. I built another one just to make sure but nothing happens.

I noticed some weird glitch concerning the number of carriers or other numbers that not not effectively showing the real number. They go away if i restart/reload the game. This does not fix the garage issue.

It is possible that it is linked to the same issue were colonist will never go to some outhouses.

Great game i can ' t wait for the next contents/fixes. I understand that it is in early access on steam but i did not see the garage issue mentioned anywhere.

UPDATE
I actually found another post on steam mentioning this, Fuel to the Garage? (could not post with the link app/684450/discussions/0/2977404149659953927/)

You have to assign at least one specialist to the vehicle before repairs will start.

Yes i did.
here is the steam link : steamcommunity(dot)com/app/684450/discussions/0/2977404149659953927/

What I noticed is that it work on my previous saves and not on the new games exactly as described on the comments of the steam forum. I think it os related to the game play. It randomly started to add fuel again and i was able to reproduce the "fix".

If i stop re-assigning/rotating workers especially the ones in my fields , the garage(s) works. One of the devs mentionned [iceflake_joanna ] that it is a known issue.

How many carriers do you have?

How many carriers do you have?

When i was moving around the field workers I had an average of 21 now between 4 and 6.

In that case I have no explanation for what you are seeing , I've never had that happen to me since they introduced cars!

My theory is that it may be related to aggressively reassigning field workers when the field is growing. It started happening after I got a hang on the game. I think it is messing with the automation. When i leave it alone, the garage works fine.

This issue made me realize all the work the devs are doing. The colonist has to sleep close to his workstation, find food, find tools, find cloths ... a carrier has to carry the produce to where it will be used... I also just noticed that each colonist has a personality and attributes. I bet that it would help if i could have a view color highlighting where a particular colonist is sleeping, working, eating... Or a similar way where, I. as a player can help optimizing the "flow". If they ever introduce traffic on the roads it will be an extra level of challenge

I think this project is more ambitious than Surviving Mars on the micromanagement part. It is good that they are taking their time with it.

I do that all the time, unassigning 2/3 workers in the large fields when the crop is just growing (which I wish the game would do automatically TBH). I'm afraid it never had that effect on my car repairs!
