Not a bug Basic Robotics Recycler Won't Upgrade

Hi,

Wasn't sure where to post this. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if my plot is bugged, or if this advanced plot doesn't support upgrading in an all robot settlement (50 Happiness).

I have a basic robotics recycler in an all automatron settlement that has over 15 robotics parts in it. At first I thought I hadn't waited long enough, so I built an Oil Well advanced plot in another automatron settlement and filled it with oil.

Since then I've just been playing through DLC and now the freshly constructed oil well has been able to upgrade, but the basic robotics recycler is still ineligible. I'm starting to think that maybe I need to have 80 happiness for this particular plot? Even though I turned off citizen requirements. Or might my plot just be bugged? I have yet to actually upgrade any of my basic robo recyclers, so I'm not sure if its the install, or the lack of happiness or whatever.

Anyway, aside from this hiccup, I love the addons.

Any insight is appreciated.
 
It requires the standard industrial stuff (70 happiness, 5 in-game days, sufficient defense and power) + the robot parts, although those standard upgrade requirements would be adjusted by your setting. For parts, it should require 15+ parts in the stockpile (3 parts * 5 days), unless the mod doesn't count the initial parts that demonstrate what can go in (in which case it would need 19 parts instead)

I don't control the upgrade timing itself so an issue with that would have to go to @kinggath , I also don't know when his code does the check to see if the stockpile is full (only on settlement unload, only on load, every day, etc), so you might try leaving the settlement to let it unload and returning.
 
Thanks for the reply, went back to the recycler after doing some more of Far Harbor and it was ready to upgrade. Guess I was just being impatient, strange that the oil well upgraded first though.

Cheers for the great addon. I have robots building robots :3 Gonna need more settlements for them.
 
Hey mytigio. Sorry to bring this post up again, but even I'm not able to upgrade said building. Not sure what's causing this. Buildings surrounding this are able to upgrade problem free. Are there any required no. of Industrial plots/Adv. Industrial plots to be in a settlement before these upgrades begin?

I've been playing for about 30 hours and this is the only building stuck on level 1. :(

This is my first building in Adv. Industrial plots (Just recently got the base expansion for SS) and I added your add-on pack to go with it. Have no other Adv plots.

Nope, no other requirements except for the time, happiness level and the Stockpile of robot parts (should require 15/16 parts to upgrade). If you haven't played with other Advanced Plots before it's important to know that they don't produce every 24 in-game hours, they produce ever 24 "ticks" where a tick is an in-game hour OR a period of time waiting/sleeping/fast travelling, so if you sleep/fast travel a lot, it will take substantially longer for an advanced industrial plot to upgrade.

Additionally, advanced industrial plots put half their output into your workbench and half into the stockpile in the plot. Generally if you just leave it alone, an advanced industrial plot takes about 10 in-game days to upgrade (assuming you never sleep/fast travel, it's about 13 if you do use sleep, much longer then 13 in-game days if you fast travel all over the place or try to speed it up by waiting/sleeping). If you take the half that goes into the workbench and feed it into the plot as well, then it will take about 5 in-game days to get enough stockpile to trigger the upgrade.
 
Alright that explains it then I guess, thanks man. I guess I'll just have to be patient considering I use fast travel to save time and I have to sleep since I'm on survival. Regardless, thanks again for your input
