Gas Miners Not Mining Methane

[Majestic Blue Falcon]

I have probes in Eighteen Billion showing an ok amount of methane but the miners will not go get it for their stations. They have more than enough range and there is plenty of storage.

Have you dropped a resource probe where some can be found?

[Majestic Blue Falcon]

The stations I'm having trouble with are the PHQ and my factories set up in Silent Witless XI(intentional misspelling).

It's there because I can send them to mine it manually where the probes are located.

I finally got the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ working but now they refuse to drop off their cargo.

So your manually telling them to mine?
Why not let the station do it and apply a blacklist for your miners

I am using automine but they wouldn't go get the marked resources on their own. I had to "jump start" them by using the mine here order, but now some are just flying around with full cargo instead of dropping it off. In short, I am having to micromanage the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ process of running 10 factories because something is broken. My other stations are doing fine but the ones in Silent Witness XI just don't want to function correctly. I'm about to cheat in a fleet, kick the Terrans out of Getsu and Savage Spur II, then move all of my ♥♥♥♥ to those sectors. If this doesn't work then I'm uninstalling and removing from library. I've lost all patience with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.

There's been some developments on this issue. Looks like a fix is on it's way next patch.

This brings up a question. Are big issues like this getting past Egosoft and testers, or is Egosoft aware of them and just releases ♥♥♥♥ expecting the community to clean it up for them?

It's been this way since forever. I played vanilla X3 for a whopping 20 hours before throwing in the towel and getting some QoL mods that should have been part of vanilla.

the game is complex it's complicated to see everything that a big update could mess up specially since you can play this game in many differents ways...

[Majestic Blue Falcon]

Yeah but how the hell do you miss such a glaring problem? I'm very understanding of bugs and oversight when it comes to small things, but missing something that essentially breaks the game is completely different. Maybe the more die hard fans of the series don't mind micromanaging hundreds of ships but that ain't me. If I wanted a pain in the ass micro experience I'd go play a dedicated RTS.

Have you try to turn off resource probe n turn back on. Satalite also might help.

[Majestic Blue Falcon]

LMAO... "Please turn off the device and turn it back on again."

I´ve used the repead order for the miners.
Since you´re constantly ranting: what level of code writing you have? One single mistake can make whole lines of code unworkable for the system and as far as i know the EGO-Soft team isn´t that big. Especially those more complicated automation can and will be allways bug ridden since one mistake can ruin the whole chain of comands?! I had my issues with ingame information being wrong or misleading- so please calm down.

Ranting is easy- coding is hard...

I think I'm just gonna quit for little while. Squad just got a big update a few weeks ago and I have yet to play it. I'm also falling behind my friends in Escape From Tarkov. They're all rocking ExFils and Slicks while I'm still using 6B23s and penis helmets.
