I had a design loaded and was feeding it resources, at about 99% done the blocks in the shipyard inventory stopped being used by the shipyard, the ship wouldn't complete. The blocks in the shipyard flashed on/off as if they were being pulled out but were then immediately coming back to the inventory. After mucking with it for a few hours, including logging off and letting the sector unload a number of times, I got mad and deleted the shipyard docker and computer. I then replaced them and tried to load a different design. Now the green design loading bar gets all the way to the end but the design never completes loading and all shipyard options are greyed out so I can't clear it or reset it. I tried this multiple times and even moved the shipyard and core to different locations but still no design would complete loading. (Note with most every test I logged off and let the sector unload.) After reaching the end of my temper I saved the whole station to blueprint and had an admin destroy and respawn the base, ( I forgot about my inventories and lost a lot of resources to add to my woes.)
When the station was respawned the shipyard would now load and unload designs. I thought great, problem solvered, and went about getting the duplicate ships that had come about from all the mucking around into the shipyard to deconstruct them to try and recover some resources. Three ships deconstructed fine, the 4th one, after docking it to the shipyard, was not detected in the shipyard computer. The shipyard remained as if it had nothing docked. I undocked and tried multiple times including logging for a sector reload and with different ships. The shipyard simply would not detect it had a ship in it. So I tried to load a new design and bam, straight back to refusing to complete the load and I'm back to square one.
I spent more then a day futzing with this. I lost all my accumulated resources. My shipyard now appears to be permanently broken. I can't repair any of my ships nor build new ones. I'm generally S.O.L.
Today, (if my temper holds and I don't just say F-IT,) I'm going to try getting an admin to wipe the sector and load a backup station blueprint, (which unfortunately is a couple of days old so more work lost.) To put it frankly, I'm really pissed off.
I'm posting this here to share my experience and see if anyone has had similar issues or knows of any way to resolve a shipyard not completing or loading designs. This is not the first time I've had this issue, though it is the first time I've had it on a public server where I didn't have admin privileges and couldn't just revert to backup. Any info on why this happens or how to fix it appreciated.
Cheers,
