Survey ship pathfinding issues

Hi. New(ish) player trying to get into Aurora again after dabbling slightly a long time ago. I am having issues with the order system, which has changed since the last time I played.

I have two survey ships surveying both survey locations and bodies in different systems but have now exceeded their deployment. However, now I get an error saying they cannot fulfil their orders as there isn’t a suitable location. I had a similar issue with constant notifications when it was time for them to refuel but they found their way back to Sol and it was okay, if slightly annoying.

But this time they don’t seem to be trying to come back home and if I set them movement orders to come back to Sol in order to trigger the conditional order there, they just come to Sol and then immediately try to get back to surveying.

I believe you are experiencing the max geo survey radius.

Check home planet- do you have enough maintance support?

Apologies I think part of my question was poorly worded so I don’t think this was contributing to the problem I was meaning to ask about. But this is useful info and a new resource for me to look at too so thank you!!

You were right, turns out I didn’t have enough maintenance tonnage I think. Built a bunch of maintenance facilities which seems to have resolved the issue.
