How to unload the Mobile Drilling Rig ?

[Knagart]

I have a MDR, and I build a cargo dock (I guess it is the right building to received the load, but not sure... most of the time, I don't know what building to exactly...)

My MDR is full and I have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue how I can unload it (no call-to-action on the MDR, or any hint in any building.

Send a transporter to it

click cargo truck and then right click the MDR and pick up resources.

yes the cargo trunk ui need some work- but kinda works- clunky but its ea.
click the pick up- in the bottom and click pick up all, and also click return to base
once it comes back either off load like a drop of or it goes into the service bay thing you get to build late on

[Knagart]

Nope sorry, it drives me crazy.

I tried to click both the MDR and cargo truck, right, left or even middle click, I still have no clue how to unload the minerals. But yes, I found the button "unload cargo" from the cargo truck, but he's empty.

If someone can make a video clip...

Or the devs... How such things can pass a single playtest ?

You also need a cargo dock. When you right click the MDR to pick up resources, the cargo truck will transfer them from the MDR to the cargo dock.

you don't need a cargo dock. just left click the truck to select it. Then right click the rig and a little box pops up (same as when you right click move or investigate) it should give you the option pick up resources

So it should be a bug, because I have absolutely no context menu.

If someone can make a short clip just to be sure ? :D

PS : I also had a cargo dock, I don't know if it is necessary or not, but I can unload the truck, it's just the MDR I can't unload (one way or another)

JFYI: They are talking about OUTSIDE of your base, NOT inside your base. i.e. on the world map you will have both icons of your MDR and Truck. Left click on your truck and then right click on your MDR. Then the little popup will come up.

that's what the cargo dock is for, the trucks will automatically dump all the resources from mobile miners off there then you can connect the dock with belts to your production.

Note that the output belt icons on the Cargo Dock are all the same (Regolith). The Rare Earth output is the left of the two by the door. The right one is Regolith.

The drill has to be on the world map not at base.

Just a heads up for those who didn't realize this the setup is in Moon view not while the Miner is in you base. That took me a moment to figure out
