My skydrops disappeared and I'm not able to get any

[ElectricTunic33]

I seem to be having a bug where all Skydrops appear to have disappeared from my inventory (they are not on my ship either). I tried getting more at the station, but the robot keeps telling me that I am fully stocked so I cant buy more. Is there any way I might fix this? I think this may have happened when I changed the ship in my fleet.

Point of clarity:

Skydrops are the modules installed on the ships (missiles, bots, turrets, etc) that plummet to the planet's surface. Each has a limited "ammo" capacity. For example: each Missile module stores up to 6 missles. When you ask B.A.B.S. or Gren to "restock my skydrops," that's what you're replenishing.

Skydrop Signal Flares are the Throwable item you use to call down the steel rain. If you've run out of those, you have two options: buy more from Gren (ask if he has anything for sale) or craft them (using Watchtower components) at an Industrial Workbench.

I'm guessing it's the latter you ran out of, yes?

I think he means the drops themselves not showing up when programming the flares.
I just installed 2 mechs on one of my ships, can't select them while programming.

Well, OP talked about them not even appearing in their inventory so it sounds like you're having a separate issue.

A few things to rule out:

1. Is it installed on a fleet ship or your Home ship?
2. Assuming not your Home ship, is the ship an active, crewed (by at least a pilot, assigned via the Fleet Command Terminal) part of the fleet?

Hi there - if you changed your fleet ships around, did you ensure that they still have pilots assigned? Skydrops will only show on the flare terminal screen if the ship itself is manned.

This worked! Thank you very much. I hadnt played for over a week and forgot how the flares worked and didnt even notice I probably ran out of it. I also wanted to say that Im loving this mod, in many ways I think I like it more than Shattered Space because I feel like it changes and adds to the gameplay loop itself rather than just being new quests. Keep up the amazing work
