Expert AutoMine loop

Post by peteran » Tue, 21. Sep 21, 03:07

I've observed the expert automine command doing something odd.

Expert AutoMine:
1. Gather full cargo hold of methane.
2a. Search for a new mining location.
2b. Fly to the new mining location.
3. Try to gather more methane, but realize the cargo hold is full.
4. Search for trades and not finding any, go back to 2.

I would expect at step four it would stop (preferably moving to a safer location). In the save I will upload, the situation is worse as the miner is gathering methane in the Void and goes back and forth on the dangerous region.

Luckily the mining vessel is equipped with three TER L Shield Generators which is more than enough to tank the damage.

The saves are at three points
  • 1. Start mining (save_002.xml.gz)
  • 2. Cargo hold full (save_003.xml.gz)
  • 3. No buyers? Well, back to mining then! (save_004.xml.gz)
