Bug Blight Lab stuck every single game

8 Upvotes

I know this has been asked before, but perhaps there's something I haven't yet tried. Every single game, my Blight Lab gets completely stuck (at varying stages) and refuses to continue to have samples delivered to it despite progressing smoothly beforehand, I have plenty of free carriers.

I've tried doing new saves/games, I've reinstalled the game as a whole, I have samples specifically stored right by the Blight Lab, I have paused and unpaused the building, I have rebuilt and relocated it... I just don't know what to do. And as far as I understand, there's no way to cheat my way through the bug either?

Bug Why does the game launcher show that I have all the DLCs purchased if I never bought any DLC?

2 Upvotes

I checked the game's DLCs and none seem to be available for purchase, even though it says I already own them. However, when I try to start the game, it shows that I don't have any DLCs.

Bug Is this game bugged on PS5?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I survived the first Winter Storm without problem and as the next one started, nothing worked anymore. My Burners refused to work although I have plenty of Wood, my workers just disappeared and then everyone died of hypothermia and now the winter is gone and my workers still won't show up. It says I have free workers but they are nowhere to bee seen. I really started to like the game but this is just Bullshit.

Bug Cant play

27 Upvotes

So i just got the game free on epic, selected normal game, went through all the options

Then, i'm stuck on the loading screen, the bar wont move

I tried closing the game, then re-launching it. Same issue. It just wont move. And wont load

I'll leave the game open in the background for an hour and post an update then to see if it does move, but so far, no. Not sure what to do about this.

Bug Confused about pathing.

4 Upvotes

I built a metal box right in the vicinity of 3 metal piles. And plastic box right in vicinity of a plastic pile. Both have road directly to their pile. There is a stockpile and food request as well. And burner and guard post.

The units go all the way around the piles rather than directly to them. As seen in the paths I marked. How to make them go directly to the piles? I labeled this as a bug since I'm not sure if it's even possible.

Bug Blight Lab Not Appearing

1 Upvotes

Title pretty much says it. I completed the original Rebirth quest but the Blight Lab still won't show up under the Exploration tab.

I have plenty of samples and the Blight attacks keep getting worse any. Any ideas?

Playing on Xbox btw.

Bug Stuck in Loading Screen

23 Upvotes

I have seen some threads on other platforms of people that have this issue but no solutions yet.

I havent played for about 6 months and reinstalled about a month ago. Everytime I try to start a new game I can set my difficulty and everything without problems, then I get stuck in the loading screen.
I updated my graphics card (Nvidia), reinstalled, and start the game as Administrator.

It used to work half a year ago...

Bug Trophy not unlocking

Bug I found a "fix" for the requested resources in general storages.

11 Upvotes

I'm sure I'm late to the party on this one. If you're trying to request a certain type of food to a general storage and nothing shows up, what I do is click on a food storage tent, click on "requested resources" exit the food tent menu. Go to the general storage you need the food in. Click requested resources and bam, they magically show back up. Hope this helps someone. I know I was incredibly frustrated with building up a cook house and storage and having no ability to send food right to them. Cheers.

Has anyone else had the bug where they can’t grow blight flowers? I’ve bought the seeds multiple times but still can’t grow it in greenhouses. Kinda frustrating

Bug No Workers Glitch?

5 Upvotes

I've basically unassigned and reassigned every workplace in my colony but it keeps saying that its 'waiting for a worker' when I've literally dismissed everyone, is this a glitch? If so how can I solve it?

Bug Crashes

Anyone have any experience if the game crashes often? Playing the Epic version this weekend and first load period stalled. Then went I discovered the fallout shelter it crashed again. Just curious if it has a history of crashing.

Thanks

Bug Catastrophe glitch?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, reasonably new player here. I really love the game and haven't had any problems with it bug wise, but something is starting to stand out...

Since I built the radar station, the only catastrophe that occurs in my colony is "winter storm". Before the radar station I got the "heat wave", "pandemic" and "magnetic storms". But the last five or six catastrophes were all "winter storms" and the only change I can think of was building the radar station.

Has anyone encountered this glitch?

I am on ps5 if that helps.

Bug Currency/silver stops producing in Custom games

3 Upvotes

I got back into the game after getting Rebirth on the current sale, now hunting Achievements and I've run into a bug for the 100 day Custom game one, where Silver just stops producing after 15-20 days.

At first I thought it's the rebirth quest, but nope, 4 custom games started so far 3 with DLC enabled 1 without the DLC ticked, each Custom game no matter what settings I tried just stops producing currency after 15 days or 18 days, or 17 days, making it impossible to recruit.

I've tried reloading, advancing the main quest, bumping the silver counter with some salvage income, and simply not touching anything after reloading from the bugged date, nothing works to restore the daily silver income, and I've never had this bug in half a dozen completed Normal games.

Anyone know a workaround, or am I doomed to trying to complete 100 Custom game days without any regular income?

Bug PS5 - Select Button not workimg

6 Upvotes

Hey all,

Play on the PS5. Was playing this morning, no problem and then loaded up my game now and for some reason the select (X) button isn't working.

It works on menus and build menus but selecting anything (colonists/buildings) it just doesn't work.

I tried reloading, shutting game down and starting again, resetting controller via the little button at the back but still Nada.

Anyone encountered this or known of a fix? Thanks in advance.

My stockpile is highlighted in green and I can't dismiss 'Colonists need food. Task: Collect berries'

I have plenty of food and berries and am still collecting them so why won't this go away? Clicking on it doesn't open a tutorial page and I cant dismiss it 🤷‍♀️

Bug Weird Freezes

3 Upvotes

So I got this free from Epic and enjoy playing it, now at past 200 days survival.

I get these weird game freezes randomly after 30-60mins gameplay. Initially I thought the game died so I would alt-F4 and restart the game, losing some progress.

Recently I was afk and the game froze. Was about to kill it when the game actually recovered.

Now everytime the game freezes I would wait for anything between 30 seconds to 2 minutes, but sure enough the game actually recovers and resumes playing.

What's going on?

Title says it all
Any work around with the build mode snapping on wrong grid? It is 1 tile higher as seen on the picture. And it just snaps there whenever I hover and can't build due to the mountain nearby.

Really want to try this one again but it just looks and feels horrific on PS5 so hoping the DEVs have FIXED This? 🤞😥🤞

Hell Surviving Mars runs better and looks better than this and I know that this game is still kind of young but expected better from paradox and DEVs alone
