CRACK: robot and cart upgrade work orders that won't complete

Quick answer

Since v1.0.53 (October 28), the robot and cart upgrade work orders complete if everything you own is already maxed. If one still won't finish, check every workbot: a crew whose order stuck had missed one upgrade, and Rafoli's developer asked whether they had bought all 8.

Upgraded before the order appeared

Crews that upgraded early got a work order they couldn't finish. v1.0.53 changed that: robot and cart upgrade work orders now complete if everything you own is already maxed. Update first.

Check all 8 workbots

On October 31 a crew reported a soft-lock on a bot upgrade order. Rafoli's developer Soup asked whether they had bought all 8 workbots or only fully upgraded the ones they had. They had missed one upgrade, and the order completed once they found it.

  1. Go through each workbot you own and look for one that isn't fully upgraded.
  2. If you haven't bought all 8 workbots, buy the rest and upgrade them too.

Golf carts

Golf carts can be upgraded from anywhere since v1.0.35, not only when parked in the bay.
