Auto pickup from ore vein

[Ragnarök]

Heya,
My Issue is that the worker is not auto-taking from a full ore vein when I have the auto haul command on them, if I manually move the ore into their inventory they will take it to the ore chest, but I would like them to take from the full ore vein and haul it back to the chest.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks o/

yea same it kind of silly having the ai auto mine if there can pick it up there self and get full inventory before hauling it back but let the dev work it out maybe one day this wish will happen

How far away is the storage?

A unit does not need both mining and auto haul jobs. Mining job includes auto haul already.

The other possibility is some mining veins seem to have dead spots to the navmesh. Meaning miners wont carry ore away or go eat.

If it happens again, try a second mienr on the same vein and see if that miner will haul it away (without an autohaul job.)

I thought this may be the case as well, but I moved the storage next to the vein to test it out, and they still wouldn't take from the vein

in my main savegame i have a base at leviathan coast and my hive soldier copper ore miner just keeps mining and taking the copper ore into his backpack until it is full.

sometimes though the vein becomes full and he stops. then i go and empty the backpack but 1 ore in it and on it goes..

Hmm, perhaps it depends on what backback is used, do you use the autohaul order or just have the mine order for that worker?

i have mine then autohaul but the node is way outside of my base and maybe beyond the radius in which they autohaul..

can you please upload your save then.

To upload your crashdump.zip or Kenshi.zip ( Kenshi.log file ) or save folder,
You can use any of these free cloud storage services
dropbox[www.dropbox.com]
googledrive[www.google.com]
File Dropper[www.filedropper.com]
or the main forum[www.lofigames.com] ( 10 megs max ) to post your bug reports.
You can post the link on the steam forums or on the Lo-Fi Forums.

Any free cloud storage service should be acceptable long as it offers free access to the data for non registered users.

should make the order to send to storage the first order then mine

it already is if job setup.
but seams to be bugged with this case.

It is working now, and for anyone that is experiencing the same issue: (as said above) you only need the mine order, make sure the vein is close enough to the (correct) storage. If it still doesn't work, try a different ore vein (this is what I did).

Thanks for everyones quick replies, they really did help <3

I had three separate iron veins and all three were doing the same thing. When the mine would fill with the five ores, everything would shut down. I tried several different things including just setting them up with the mining job only. Nothing fixed it until I set the jobs up like so:

1) Haul to storage
2) Operate mine
3) Haul to storage

Now they've all worked perfectly for the last few hours of gameplay. Go figure.

That is weird.

You had a navmesh issue with the ore container. Especially since three mining veins all ignored the same ore container. You should have saved then loaded your game to fix the issue. Then if it still did not work move the ore storage container to another location.

Neither autohaul should be necessary. In fact the autohaul in job #3 is entirely irrelevant since it will never get performed.

Also if you pay attention because you placed autohaul in job #1 slot the miners are transporting each individual ore at a time as it is created by job #2 on the list. So basically your miners are working as a reduced production because they are spending more time running ore to the storage instead of waiting for 5 pieces.

These were three different veins with three different storage containers. It was over several save-load, save-import attempts.

I tried every variation on the jobs. Mine only. Mine, then haul. Haul, then mine. Same thing. Mine fills up and everything stops. Workers eventually wander off to get food. As soon as I made it haul-mine-haul, it started working independently.

I got so frustrated with it that hauling one ore at a time was a huge win. Just to get them to work so I didn't have to keep checking on them every few minutes to keep things going. Two of the containers are right next to the vein so it's not such a huge deal.

Could that be the problem? Too close?

I don't know. Maybe there's something else I'm doing wrong. I never had problems with it before, however. Don't know what has changed.

I'll look at it again when I get home.

The only other thing I could suggest is to upload your save to a dropbox and have someone look at it and try to figure out the issue.

Liek I said that 2nd autohaul job should be completely irrelevant. Simply because as long as that unit has space to mine it will never get done. The top autohaul shoudl be takign the ore away to make the second job infinite.
