unable to make colonist prioritise building a building

[Kewe]

So The problem was i that i wanted to build a geothermal generator and after the colonist hauled some metal to it and i wanted him to prioritise it again it didnt give me the option. I right klicked it but the little button (prioritise working on geothermal generator) would not show up. same happened with the crematorium. i could still use the colonist to work on other buildings but not on the generator/crematorium anymore. Tried to use other colonist to finish the building but for them aswell the button didnt show up. They eventually build the crematorium by them self. For the generator i had to reload the game and then it worked again.

did you have more metal available? I have seen projects paused and unselectable for right click instructions when there was a missing resource for the project

yes i made sure that i had cause for the crematorium i didnt have enough stone blocks and only when i had enough to fully build it they would start building it.

I had a similar problem when building an incinerator. Once they put all they can into it, you can't get a right-click option to prioritize because you don't have the rest of the materials (I had 0 sandstone and I though I made it out of slate but mis-clicked).

There used to be a greyed out option if you didn't have the materials (in a stockpile). Now, it's hidden and they only build it if they have nothing else to do (nothing with higher priority) and will find the materials on the map.

You could probably plop down a stockpile on a large enough pile of iron laying around and then prioritize.

yeah i could try that if it happens again, but also just saving and then reloading the save works to give the option back

The float menu text has been fixed for greater clarity. Thanks for reporting.
