Possible to assign miner to station?

[Rallehop]

I want a steady input of ice for my station, how do i manage it? Also how do i put in a buy offer for it

[Zagdar]

Select a minier ship /right clic on the station and clic on "assign for mining". donc forget to get a solid storage

[Decker]

in station logical view, you can manage buy/sell order for the ice.
Yes, select a miner, and right click on the station, assign as miner.

Jup but at the moment it is bugged i think, because they go out an mine till they are full, but they dont go back to the station to unload :/

Make sure you got a manager for the station, that solved it for me. (and make sure you got the right container for the ware you need mined aswell)

mine works , mining ore, but have a quite good crew and manager.
If it dosent work can depend on many things, like demand or settings...
My setup is: miner mine ore (for station), unload it in station (solid storage) then it transfers to
the refinery (same station) that makes "refined metals" and drop that in container storage.

i told the miner to mine for station, i have a manager and a captian, an a solid storage too.
what you make different? ^^

I ad this too, at first. Then I removed his assignment, sent him back manually, readded him and it started working. Sometimes the script seems to glitch, but generally, it works.

okay i will try
thank you

Okay I did it too, and it lokks like it works.
But, my miners deliver just a fraction of their carhohold, like an amount of 37 to 140 silicon at a time.
So it's an endless ballet of miner ships at the docking area right now :)

Consider getting the 3M6S dock.

Make sure you have

the correct landing pad
the correct storage module
a station manager

Then you can pretty much right click on the station -> Mine for (Station)

I have 3 of them ^^

But even if this behaviour is kind of weird, it looks to work just fine. I think the station is "pulling" wares from miners in order to have 2 cycles of production of margin. Maybe something like that.

My miners are filling up since the patch, but they are not assigned to a station. My gas miner, which is assigned to my graphene production facility, does fill up and then unloads everything.
