Shipyard Glitches

[Madman198237]

I'm seeing two glitches with a shipyard that was working properly just a day ago. The first glitch is that designs will not load, instead loading to about 80/90% of the loading bar, appearing fully-formed in the shipyard area, but never finishing and blocking further orders. The second glitch is that the shipyard will not recognize a ship docked in its area. It says "Real: (Ship Name)" but I can't run any orders with the ship, only orders based around an inactive shipyard without a loaded design (Load design, make new design, etc).

Like I said, the shipyard was running fine yesterday. I'm playing with one other person on a LAN server running off a laptop.

You may have moved the anchor while a design was loaded.
Or you did add slabs to the design?
They result in the construction pulling to fail at the moment.

Edit: Nevermind, I moved the anchor block out 1 block and it loaded fine. Although the server was restarted in between now and earlier when I had the issue.

Again, thanks for the quick help.

The slab-blocks you can use, they cause big issues when constructing a ship.

T1021 Shipyard pulling extremely inefficient Read this for reference about it.
They can make unconstructable ships. (Or it takes multiple times the blocks to construct)

I've seen slabs just get past 100% and halt the construction.

Shipyards also forget a lot of data such as inner ship remote names, hotbar configuration, and display module data. Right now I only use my shipyard to deconstruct and use blueprints to spawn. Personal storage makes blueprints much more efficient.
