I searched around to see if this was a known issue but did not find anything. Every colony I make, after playing for a few hours I am suddenly unable to build anything. Blueprints and sometimes objects who have the metal placed on them suddenly stop being build, and if I right click the blueprint to try to force someone to work on it, there is no mention of the blueprint on the pop-up. I am still able to click the blueprint to cancel the build project completely, but placing it down again does not help.

I captured a video of the issue in question. You can see where they suddenly stopped placing concrete tiles since I originally had that whole area planned off to build them. I have gotten this issue on the last 4 colonies I've created now. It is a bit frustrating to run into a dead-end like this, so I wanted to make sure that this had been reported at some point.
you appear to be out of metal(which isneeded for 'concrete' in the base game (some mods might alter this)), and projects will not build if they do not have enough of the materials they need to build, so assuming you are playing the base rimworld just mine out the rock that has spots on it(the metal ore areas)
Good call, I hadn't noticed. This is why I like to show a video of what I'm doing, to make sure it's not just me (which it generally is) I guess I'd like to modify this to a request for more feedback while building, just hiding the option to force someone to build instead of keeping it there but perhaps red with an explanation of why it can't be built would help those with shorter attention spans (not saying that that is me, but that is absolutely me)
Thank you for the quick reply!
