If you have a droid with a maintenace module go to the building you want maintained and choose "assign droid" in the building management menu.


You can then use the droids menu and choose maintenace run, and choose the buildings you want to maintain and how much money you wanna deposit.

Yeah, Drashk, I found that after I posted. Tried adding a new structure and then pulling up the maintenance list, tried it about 40 times. Even added enough structures to cap the list, it gave me the message the list its full but stil won't bring the list up. Anyone tried transfeing to someone else then back again, does this clear the list??




I'm not sure iftransferingwill clear the list. I have been able to get the above mentioned to work on many different occasions now, which is why I offered a hand to try and help out. It sounds like the same maintenance list bug as listed above.


One question - Have you been into space lately? It may be unrelated; however a new timer issue was discovered with CH pets and space travel. If it is a new issue with the maintenance module, the more information you can provide, the better off we are.

Did you delete any of the structures that were listed on the droid, without first removing the structure from the droid's maintenance list? If so, this may be the cause of your problem. The droid will still have a listing in the radial menu, for the maintenance module, but will not function unless you can remove the deleted structure from the maintenance list.


The following is the only known workaround at this time...



When ever you delete a structure, with out first deleting it from the droid's memory, an empty slot is left behind on the droid's Structure Maintenance menu. This empty slot makes it so that the droid radial does not always respond. In two of out of the three tests that I have run so far, I have been able to get the non-responsive Structure Maintenance menu to work, after adding the droid to additonal structures. On the third droid, the Structure Maintenance would not pop back up after I stored the droid.


It took me about 20-30 tries before the Menu window popped up. I was able to repeat this on each droid 3 different times.


The edit Maintenance List looked something like this



  • Droid Foundry # 1

  • Droid Foundry # 2

  • Equipment Factory

The first entry was nothing more than a blank listing. I proceeded to delete the entry, which resulted in the bottom listing being deleted, so I had to repeat this set for each of the other 3 entries as well, until I was left with a blank edit Maintenance List. I closed the window and attempted to access the list again and was greeted by the system message 'The maintenance list for this droid is empty. Go to one of your structures and assign this droid to maintain it', which of course means that the darn thing is functioning properly again. I stored the droid and pulled it out again and haven't had a problem with it yet.


It would appear that if the blank entry, left behind by the deleted structure, was to be removed, this module would work correctly.


If this does not work, send me a PM with the server you are on, and a place that I can meet with, so that I can attempt to fix the droid. I may not be able to fix it either, but I'm willing to give it a try.
