1.3 Subordinate mines dont unload

Post by b00tech »

This is on the same game i have been using since launch. Will miners working correctly with station before the patch.

Once subordinate miners have mined to capacity they will sit idle in space and not unload. I have removed their assignment and manually unloaded their cargo. Then given them a new move order and cancelled all orders for all miners, then reassigned to the PHQ as miners for station. They will go out refill cargo and then idle in space again indefinitely. Storage on station is nearly totally empty for solid storage.

I see the same behavior in my save. All assigned miners stop working when full.
When i check the pilots in external view mode. They are in "Free mining" Mode, but full and not moving.

Does someone know a workaround until it is fixed?

Edit:
PS: Manger of the station has three stars and all miners have three Stars in Piloting. All three types of storages are nearly empty.

Just had the same problem. manually droping of the cargo and reassigning them seems to do the trick, at least currently they are no longer stuck on calculating parameters. They still ownly mine Ice and not the second resource silicon for my station.

Figured out whats causing this. Seems even though they are Subordinates the station has to have enough money to buy the miners wares. Transfer some money to the station and the Miners will unload.
I dont think any credit is exchanged but your station needs the credits there for the sell order for subordinates to go through.

This does not work for me. I have plenty of space for storage, i have 170k storage open just for ice, ore is completely empty. There is an extra million over operating budget. Ships will go fill up with ice and grab a little bit of ore. They will bring the 200 something ore to the station, then leave the ice in their storage to then go wander around aimlessly. Similar situation with my methane/hydrogen miners.
over thinking and over analyzing since '87
