Cargo Trucks

[MrBishop077]

Cargo trucks have stopped auto unloading ore from the mining rigs @ the Cargo Dock and instead must be told where to "drop" the resources for drones to pick up and sort rather than using the belts.
This also means my trucks are running out of fuel as they no longer auto refuel.

I have deleted the Dock and replaced it, but this has not changed the trucks behavior.
Any suggestions?

When the alert comes up, it generally means that the Cargo Dock is already occupied, or a cargo truck is moving towards it to unload. Don't click on the alert! If you wait, the next truck in the queue will move to the Cargo Dock once the first truck has completed unloading.

I made this mistake once as well.

Since you apparently told a truck where to unload (or clicked on the alert), you have broken the chain. To fix it you must unpair all the trucks you have running to the mining rigs, and then one at a time re-pair them to the rigs. Make sure that they run to the rig, and then back to the Cargo Dock before pairing the next truck. I think I unpaired everything, saved the game, and then restarted it. You don't need to drop any cargo from the trucks before doing this.

You can also go back to a previous save (from before you affecting the chain) and reload the game. This should also fix the problem.

Indeed, i have seen that when several trucks come back at once, but this was like that except No trucks were using the Dock at all. I tried everything i could while i waited until i ran out of regolith before i had no choice but to manually empty them.
*my entire subfloor is mined out as well as the nodes except for 2-3 ice. so my only source is from the mobile miners.

In the new beta version, which we published yesterday on the BETA thread, some problems with trucks have been solved and their functionality has been extended. Try to load your save in beta version 0.95.33, but the game may be unstable because of another version. You can try to save in the new one and return to the previous one.

Odd development or 'fix' as the Dock had stopped working i had removed the building. Between one save and exiting to the desktop and then loading in the next day and placing the Dock once again .. but this time the trucks started using the Dock again. . . ?


no idea what really caused it to break or why that fixed it. but in case someone else has the cargo dock bug out and deleting and rebuilding within the same play session does not fix it then try this.

*remove building, Save & exit to desktop. Re-load save and rebuild. See if that works for you too.
:shrug: Good luck =)
