I was making blueprint copies in Perimeter citadel. I submitted a month long job. And then few days before it should finish citadel was put offline.
Which cancelled the job, naturally. But I can!t find the original BPO used in the job anywhere. It was not in the citadel inventory, it is not in assets safety. Is this normal that it eats BPOs in this scenario?
Yeah, in the Industry Window check the Facilities tab> All Facilities Dropdown menu and All Services Dropdown menu for a list of all NPC stations and Upwell Structures available for useā¦ Also set āRangeā Dropdown menu to āRegionāā¦
The Dropdown menu for āAll Facilitiesā also has choice between Public Facilities and Corp Owned Facilitiesā¦ For a specific service, select that in the āAll Servicesā Dropdown menuā¦
Are you certain the job was canceled, or is it indefinitely paused? I donāt recall jobs getting canceled unless the module was yoinked or the facility destroyed.
Any NPC station with science services can do Inventions and Research. I would never put my BPOs for copying/research or BPCs for Invention in player structures. Way too unreliable and annoying to deal with.
If the structure service was just offlined, the job is only paused indefinitely. You can either ask them turn the service back on or, which is more likely, wait for the structure to die. If itās a personal job, the BPO goes into Asset safety. If itās a corp job, it potentially drops as loot or is destroyed.
The issue being, that when structure is armor hit, industry module is turned off but not removed, so jobs are stuck until either removed, turned on, or structure explosion.
I know that I use this UI for clone bays. Problem is there is only āindustryā. And not every npc station with industry allows research. In fact none of those I tried in past. Therefore I went to conclusion this is not an npc service at allā¦
Yeah, not many NPC stations available with full Industry servicesā¦
Also adjacent Regions could show more results in the Facilities listā¦
The system I base out of has about a dozen NPC stations in it and only one of those has Industry services available. I use to travel over a dozen jumps into another Region for Industry jobs due to having a lower Price index. Now I donāt care about price and just do Industry jobs in the nearest NPC Facility availableā¦
iirc corp job stuff always drops, and only personal job stuff gets ASād when the structure dies.
Yes, this dates back from a time when CCP was still reasonable, and had this idea to spread these activities over several systems instead of concentrating everything in one.
If the service module for Manufacturing or Research services goes offline, the respective jobs in the structure will be paused until the service comes back online.
If the service module for Manufacturing or Research is removed, or the structure is destroyed, the respective jobs will be cancelled. No material will be refunded for cancelled jobs.
When a structure triggers asset safety (usually by blowing up) while a manufacturing or science job is in progress, any BPOs involved in the job will be sent to asset safety. The other materials that were a part of the job (including BPCs), as well as any completed but undelivered job outputs, will have a chance to drop into the structure wreck just like structure modules. Any delivered job outputs will be in the normal hangar locations and will enter asset safety as usual.
