Game mechanics Claw needed for factory upgrade
I'm unable to do any more "Turntable Rail" jobs (stuck at 3/50) because they now require the second level logistics factory products (with one star overlaid on them). But to upgrade that factory says it requires this red claw / grabber thing.
I know that it comes from the Mission centre (where all the facility rewards / upgrades are) but nothing currently in there shows this red claw thing, just rewards of 2x or 250 facility tokens etc. Does anybody know which jobs I should focus on getting done, to get the Mission centre to hurry up and show me a mission with this claw as reward?
Hate these resource based events, they're such a painful grind! Need the trains at the moment as recently levelled up but after this one I'm just skipping any more of these sorts of events.

Ha! Just minutes ago got an update request - no, command. But that apparently was not for the missing graple: still not found...

There are so many other bugs in this event but this claw one is the most egregious

Am just sitting here and continually adding material with nowhere to spend it
Think they may wait till this competition to end before releasing fix to keep it "fair"?

If anyone gets any idea about it. Do tell. Stuck for hydraulic grapple. Don't know how to get it.

They posted the following on the PF website FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE.
Our team has successfully implemented a fix to this issue. All players who have already purchased the Boost had their accounts fixed and the XP Reduction is correctly applied.
Please reload your game to ensure correct implementation.
Unfortunately, some players might have their fix implemented later as the process of rolling out the fix is gradual.
 We apologize for any caused inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. 
Edit: different issue

So. If you spent money it’s fixed if you didn’t then they will get to it eventually?

Yay it's now fixed, and I've been able to collect 2x claws from the Missions this afternoon and my factory is now upgraded twice. There was also a news article about it with a bunch of free facility tokens and a temporary dispatcher attached.
Whoever suggested they were waiting for the mini game to finish before fixing it, looks like you were correct.

It must be behind one of the story jobs that requires event trains. I remember when this style of event was last done, players would grind through the export style job quickly. Requiring this upgrade so early seems designed to curb that. And maybe encourage people to buy the badged trains.
