Capital Miners seems incapable of auto-mining

Post by Redwyrm »

Just that. Either assigning them for to mine for station, or assigning them to mine in specific zone will do nothing for them. At best they will just fly to specified zone and then stop.
I assume reason for that is because they are using mining turrets (and only turrets), rather than standard mining guns.

i have 2 L-Class miners, one of these was temporarily an auto miner. The assignment to the station seems to work. I had an issue with the auto miner, it would mine a resource but didn't trade anything. Range setting was high enough to trade. After manually selling and telling it to auto mine again (2x) it worked till i assigned it to another station.

not sure if this is an issue with SETA or what got it stuck. Same thing (stuck after filling cargo hold) happened with M Miners for a Silicon Waver/Microchips Factory. Maybe it has something to do with the Station being constructed while these operations took place. Since i don't have the issue anymore (Station building done)?

It seems problem exist with all capital ships, not just miners.
Capital freighter also completely incapable of doing any trades. If set on Auto-trade, he just on loop constantly dock and undock, and not transferring any wares.
Attempts do transfer or trade wares manually with you own station also do nothing. Cargo transfer just never occurs.

Funny enough NPCs capital ships works just fine. I saw many time capital freighter docking to my pier and doing trades. But my own capital ships just derping really hard.

Non-capital miners and traders do their job just fine.

I'v seen this happening after all construction was finished, and no new were queued.

FWIW, I got a Magnetar that's mining and selling silicon and nvidium just fine. Didn't do much special, just set up AutoMine, specified which wares it should mine, and jump gate distance of 5 or whatever. And off it went.

Guys do anyone have any saved games with specs and a step by step to give the devs to see on this tech request?

Think this will help them get to the root of it sooner..
