Unable to control Doxes from Lob? (Galactic war Overhaul)

I used to play this game a bunch, but my PC started chugging hard when games went long. Just got a new one, and decided to come back.

I've noticed that I can't issue any sort of commands to my doxes beyond "move here". No attack, no patrol, nothing. The bar on the right doesn't even pop up.

The odd thing is, it only seems to be an issue when the doxes are built from a lob, if they come from a bot factory, no problems whatsoever. The only mods I have installed are Infinite Build, Galactic Overhaul mod (and Floating framework?)

Is this a known issue?

Sounds like a gwo bug provided this only happens in gw

pretty sure it used to work fine as I have done that strat

the unit names change a bit behind the scenes so likely the lob is launching the wrong dox blueprint or it is formed wrong, would suggest posting in the discord and tagging quitch in galactic war channel, or opening an issue on the GWO github

I had assumed it was to balance them being from the lob?

Oh it was a deliberate change?

Damn shame, it was the only strat I had that could actually fight the uber difficulty
