Dedicated mining ship logistics?

[Regularity]

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to create some sort of method for supply ships to retrieve ore from mining ships and deliver it to stations (automatically), so mining vessels don't have to lose so much productivity by going back and forth from the station itself. It'd be a great way to improve minerals harvested per hour for each mining vessel... if anyone has figured out how to do it.

It would imply cargo able to load solid or liquid. At this time cargo can only load containers.

Anyway before that, I would prefer mining ships work correctly, especially large ones. If I have no to few problems with gaz, ore miners shipping tend too much to fails, turning and doing nothing (even or especially when stations starve ore and metal smelter wait for raw)

If you have an issue with the game, you might have slightly better luck submitting an actual bug ticket, rather than complaining about it in an unrelated random thread.

Who said it is a bug ? It is just lack of work for a game release unfinished. It is a bit like workforce on station doing nothing. I cant believe Devs were not aware of so obvious things before to sell the game.

What I tried to say, and to stay on the subject ; Before to ask something new, lets Egosoft works to stabilise the game, finish it and makes existing features work as excepted.

I had the same problem until I threw some satellites up next some stations that consumed raw minerals/gasses.

If all your trade offers expire the ships will stop trying to sell their goods.

It’s working as intended it’s just not very user friendly. They need better messaging around order failures.

So what was happening is I had like three station offers in range of the miners.

They where all selling to one of the stations and not visiting the others. So the other two trade offers expired. Then finally when the one near them was full up they had no active trade offers to sell too.

Visiting the other stations fixed it for a while. But dropping a bunch of Satellites fixed it permanently.
