For Manufacture mode operator shape 5 it says empty on the belt preview and the research station won't accept it. Am I making the shape wrong or is it a bug?

The first blueprint point shape in manufacture mode is wrong and doesn't count when going into the research stations
Done • Priority: High • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Fix Verified

In Manufacture Mode with Challenge difficulty, the first required shape for Research Credits is incorrectly set to CuCuXrXr instead of the correct RuRuXrXr. This causes the shape not to count when delivered to Research Stations. The issue can be reproduced by starting a new Manufacture Mode savegame with Challenge difficulty. The fix has been verified in build 1.0.0-alpha3-rc1.

Research facility not accepting first exotic compound or milestone shapes
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Resolution: Done

In Manufacture Mode, the Donation Station unlocked at Milestone 1 does not accept exotic compounds or milestone shapes to increase innovation levels and gain Research Credits or progress towards Milestones. Only the shape XkXkXkXk is accepted. This occurs when starting a new Savegame in Manufacture Mode at any Difficulty after completing Milestone 1 and connecting a Donation Station to any milestone shape. The expected result is that shapes should be accepted into the Research Station for mil...

The milestone 7 shape never becomes an operator shape in insane/hard
Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Game: 1.0.0-alpha3-rc1 • Resolution: Fix Verified

In Classic Mode on Insane or Hard scenarios, the Milestone 7 shape does not become an Operator Shape as expected. This can be observed by opening the Milestones Screen and comparing the Milestone 7 shape against the Operator Shapes listed at the top. The shape for Milestone 7 should become an Operator Shape but is missing from that list. The fix added Operator Levels for missing Hexagonal, Insane, and Hard milestones and ensured Operator Shape entries match Milestone shapes. The fix has been ...

There is a 3 layer shape restriction for manufacture mode when the Lailazus Tri-Porter requires a 4 layer shape
Done • Priority: High • Fix: None • Game: 1.0.0-alpha2-rc1 • Resolution: Obsolete

In Manufacture Mode, there is a 3 Shape Layer restriction that prevents creating the 4 Shape Layer shape required for the Lailazus Tri-Porter Trade Station. When attempting to stack a 4th layer onto a shape, the top layer is destroyed, leaving only 3 layers. This makes it impossible to legitimately create the required shape for this specific converter. The issue can be observed by comparing a shape from a Signal Producer (which bypasses the restriction) versus a manually stacked shape. The ga...

Shapes visually disappear before reaching research station
To Do • Priority: Low • Fix: None • Game: 1.0.0-beta2

Shapes visually disappear before reaching the Research Station, suggesting a rendering or despawn issue during transit. This occurs in Manufacture Mode when shapes are being delivered via Conveyor Belt or Space Belt toward the Research Station. The shapes vanish while still in transit rather than upon delivery. The issue can be reproduced on build 5975a by observing shapes traveling along belts near the Research Station. Expected behavior is that shapes remain visible until they are actually ...

Done • Priority: Highest • Fix: 1.0.0 Release • Resolution: Fix Verified

In Manufacture Mode, the Research Station does not display Shape Previews, though it should support them. This was identified as a content bug. The fix has been verified in build 1.0.0-alpha3-rc1.
