Hi,
Think this is a known bug, but my railgun manufacture is stuck. I have demolished and rebuilt several times, and still no go. My large vehicle assembly did the same, but at least stayed untuck long enough to get a few vehicles built.
Additionally, I am wondering about non-trade surface missions. The Repeater helps find these, I think? These dried up a while ago, I can still find some with the scouts by scanning. Is this a feature or a bug?

After reading your report I checked out my railgun and indeed the drones like to take a long time bringing the materials to build probes lately but still I was able to make all 3 variations of probes.
Honestly your save is a mess, you only have 16 drones and 15 haulers and you are overworking them, so it's no wonder they are avoiding the railgun. You have them bringing oxides to machines that should be feeding with conveyors, among other tasks.
I also noticed you have a lot of buildings set to high priority which only confuses the drones more.
I would suggest you start by setting everything to normal priority, find which tasks are being done by drones that shouldn't be, and make or purchase more drones.
Btw you have a power problem. You should only have 1 power grid, but you have 4

I went back to your save and rebuilt the railgun and was able to get it to start building probes. I would suggest you try the same thing. After it's built save the game and then reload it before trying to build any probes. Good Luck!
As far as the surface missions go, iirc the repeater does send new locations now and then but Idk the exact timing. As you already found out there are a lot that can be found using the LPS. Personally every time I do a geo scan, I follow it by a location scan.

Thanks - the rail gun was rebuilt several times, and it kept getting stuck. I used a hopper with a conveyor, and it wouldn't load materials either. While I appreciate your feedback about the drones, that's definitely not the issue, as I could get other vehicles built, cargo pods loaded etc.
