Mining logistics breakdown

[Prof. Dr. Gorge]

I have been happily playing away until now out of nowhere my whole mining operation has broken down. it seems that trucks are gathering in several spots on the map (irrespective of to which mining tower they are allocated to)

The excavators are in position and waiting with loaded shovels and some trucks are next to them queuing however it seems the "first in line" is meeting with the other trucks in some arbitrary spot. At one time they were circling my coal power plant (which is belt fed and has no truck access at all) - I "ended the party" by sending some trucks away manually which caused them to gang up again and drive to another spot.

this is going on for all my mines, however I have not added a new mine or otherwise changed anything.

The trucks in question are empty, I do have 3 viable dumping sites, all relevant mining products are now low in store and the mining areas and mining zones have been set properly (excavators are in the position with full shovels, they are not in inaccessible spots and moving the excavators manually does not change the truck issue.

Is this a known bug?

Edit: I have now reset all mines, reassigned all vehicles etc etc. and come to the point that all mines work again except for the Iron Ore mines. I had one site being mined for the entire game when the bug appeared. I have tried everything including a new mining building, changing the area, the designated mining etc.; I also have set up a second mining site at the second ore vain on the island but the same bug appears again: The excavators fill their shovel, trucks drive next to them but the excavators do not fill the trucks. Some trucks are stanidng around somewhere on the map not doing anything.

Hey, give a try : have one tower using t1 truck/exca and a second tower (same mining area) using T2 truck/exca. Just to see if that change something.

Same happening here. Started playing an hour ago, mining suddenly stopped. Trucks driving all over the map doing nothing. Excavators just sitting there, they're digging but not putting anything into the trucks. Zones were all working previously, nothing has changed.

Tried a restart, didn't fix it.

2000+ colony dying, no coal, so no power, so no maintenance.

ED: Just noticed one of the trucks - in the coal pit - is assigned to my tree harvester. Is it related? The trucks that were travelling everywhere were heading up to the top tier of Curland, where I am harvesting the last of the trees.

ED: Yup, something is borked. Excavators are digging but doing nothing with a full bucket, then suddenly the bucket is empty as though a truck arrived with no truck there. Watched one excavator swing it's arm very slowly towards a truck, then stop and do nothing.

Image shows stuff in bucket, trucks not moving. Occasionally one gets a load and takes off but it's totally borked - yes, it's a still image, but these are all stationary.

I just want to say that it THRILLS me that the Devs are this easy to reach! Shows that (for once in the industry) someone cares about their product!

Small update on this:-

Started my save again this morning, game was still borked so nothing in recent patches fixed the issue retrospectively.

So I deleted the mining tower and recreated it. 10 minutes in, seems to have resolved the problem.

Same here seems the bug has been fixed, for me reassigning the trucks and excavators fixed the problem for all mines.

I went ahead and create a ticket anyways so the devs can check themselves that it's resolved. If you have any other issues please let me know!

Just a thought but did any of the trucks have dirt in them? If they have nowhere to dump it, it seems to stall all the trucks assigned to that mining tower until the dirt is dumped

No they were completely empty plus it was 20 or 30 of them bugging at the same time..

My image shows 7 trucks doing nothing. 5 are empty, 2 full of rock. So no, the issue isn't dirt.

We've had a few patches that fix issues like these. Has anyone else had any since?
