So to get survey work done quickly, multiple groups are the way to go.

That's kinda a shame. Clicking New TG and Rename TG over and over again gets a bit annoying.

The clock for the overhauled ships is going *UP*, not down.

These ships are less than a thousand tons apiece, which is below my maintenance facility's maximum ship size (so that shouldn't be the problem). I can't even cancel the orders to overhaul because the proper buttons to do so are greyed out.

This run is bugged and I'm done with it. Starting over.

Fuck it, I'm deleting this game then. Have had terrible luck with minerals anyway, I'm not going to leave survey vessels locked into the shipyards for the next hundred years on top of it.

Well, it can't be the Maintenance Clock thing. The clock is going *UP* while they're in Overhaul. Currently at 8.something, ticking up every month by a tiny amount.

They've been in Overhaul for two or so years now. I need my survey ships in action, dammit!

I told my survey task groups to return to Earth for refueling and overhaul (since I had badly underestimated how long to set their deployment times).

Well, they're fueled up and the crew is ready to return to space. Unfortunately, the task groups are still overhauling. They seem to be stuck. I can't give them any orders whatsoever as the Add Order button is greyed out. What do?

(10,5), hold.

It's probably best to not even build anything with conventional tech, unless you're really really eager to get started. Even basic TN tech will outstrip conventional by such a huge margin that it's not even funny, and it will only drain some of your limited stockpiles.

For instance, a single size 1 Conventional Engine will provide .2 Engine Power. A single size 1 Nuclear Thermal engine (the first TN engine available) provides 5 Engine Power, while costing the same amount of materials.
