Retire all your large mining ships and replace them with medium and small ships.
Count how many wafer silicon and refined metals production modules you have and use the proportion "1 M + 3 S ships" for EACH module.
For example, if you have built 20 silicon wafer modules you will have to use 20 M ships + 60 S ships (yes you read that right).
Remove the hundreds of mining probes you are likely to have used and place a maximum of two probes per sector.
If you have stations dealing with nividum (especially HQ), remove the resource from the logical overview and create a separate station to deal with this material.
Just create a small shop with docking and solid container to do this. In this case use 20-30 small ships to collect material and assign a couple of medium mining ships as a trader to sell the material.
Remember to build this station in a sector with abundant nividum resources, otherwise they will continue to collect nothing.
I recommend, DO NOT deal with Nividum on megacomplexes or stations that require other solid materials because the presence of this material has been nerfed by 99%
and a mining ship will take HOURS to fill its hold completely blocking all other resources (for this it is good to use small ships, Tuatara is the best candidate for this).
For example you will DEFINITELY have delivery problems when you start research or terraforming steps that require the accumulation of Nividum. In that case the dedicated shop is the only applicable solution.
In detail:
Previous mining has been profoundly changed. Now you have to consider the "time" your miners take to gather resources and the "consumption" your station has of that raw resource.
This "time" must be counted considering the distance your ships will travel to reach the extraction point and the "time" they will lose when attacked by the Khaaks (these will constantly trigger the "flee" command and your ships will lose additional time in the fill the hold).
In the case of Terran production, much more expensive with the quantities of material, consider the same principle but in this case you can afford to use some miners size L (and underline SOME, one, two at most not 50 as I have read somewhere),
to "support" the enormous hunger of the terrestrial modules.
Try to calibrate the exact number of miners necessary for your production by making sure that at each delivery they COMPLETELY EMPTY their cargo avoiding that these ships remain with different types of materials in their hold.
The excess of mining ships means that their cargo will be full of the material they had previously searched for, which they will not be able to deliver because the container of the station will no longer accept them and there will be no space available for it, so the mining ship will have little space available for new material.
All of this also applies to gaseous or ice resources
Follow these tips and you will see that everything will magically work again.
Please the developers to confirm what I have written and if there is a possibility to make this little explanation "pinned" on the forum.
I've been reading posts about this for days and the BUG story just doesn't make sense, it just changed the way to mine resources.
In my game everything works perfectly and NONE of my stations (even the huge HQ) are left without resources.
I have not used mods, I have not used repeat orders, I have not used any of the "tricks" that I have read in other discussions.
Please do something
