I posted about Copper disappearing earlier. I have been struggling to make two more steam ovens after I made my first one. I have the bricks and the steel. I made sure I wasn't missing any parts. I made the copper plates and copper pipes, but now I cannot use them. They appear in my inventory list and I can see them sitting on the stockpiles. To test it, I tried to trade them to traders, but it behaved as though they weren't there. Just like when Items from the traders get stuck in the trade office. I rebuilt my Metalworks and assigned a different overseer to see if I can work around this. It is sorta game ending, you need the steam oven to feed all the people I have. I am going to make the pipes and plates again and see if I can get the last two steam ovens built. The game is too large to up load. Someone suggested I use Dropbox to share it. I had just given up on the game the last time I ran into this problem, but this time I decided to go through the trouble. https://www.dropbox.com/s/09up5buzrjdvih5/ClockworkEmpires-266.zip?dl=0
Also in this particular game, my scientist and her entire crew are out doing assignments instead of being in the lab, even though she is still assigned to the lab. Strange bugs......
Rebuilding the metalworks, assigning a new overseer and making more plates and pipes worked. But I still have those copper plates and pipes in my inventory.
