sorry apparently when the miner let the container sag it took internal damage and that's why it would not dump the ore. built new container and it works

It says "Payload Mechanism" which is Unload in the case of a mineral container

On the CSSACT there is a button on the left side of the pilot seat

I can not for the life of me unload the ore container. i tried the button on the front below the light button. in the description you say you can click a button in the cockpit of the CSSACT but didn't say which one

It took me a few times to do it but i eventually did that, just needed to bring a container generator over as the CSSACT doesn't generate enough to jump the miner

I don't remember if there is an electricity port, but if there is you can try plugging it into something to recharge
Darkness Jul 8 @ 11:08pm 
i think I ran out of fuel and noticed too late so it didnt have enough electric to start the engines
jerryfanfan  [author] Jul 8 @ 9:49pm 
The generator was supposed to turn on when battery is less than 80%, maybe it has a broken fuel line from all the updates or something
Darkness Jul 8 @ 9:28pm 
could you have it so that when its low on electricity (maybe less then 10%) but still has fuel, that it auto starts an engine to refill its batteries when not in use

been a while, but arrow keys up down I believe

How do i lower the drill?
tylerjam07 Nov 9, 2024 @ 5:50pm 
i fiqured it out nvm
tylerjam07 Nov 9, 2024 @ 5:48pm 
i love your creations but dont know how to work them
tylerjam07 Nov 9, 2024 @ 5:42pm 
how do i connect the crate
jerryfanfan  [author] Oct 17, 2024 @ 7:07am 
An outdated version of the same mining vehicle. I think it didn't have enough traction to stay parked on slopes, so I switched to tracks.

What is the green truck in screenshot 8?
jerryfanfan  [author] Jun 24, 2024 @ 12:23am 
you mean for the mineral crates? or the mining vehicle.

The crates unload to the front and back depending whether front or back button is pressed. The vehicle unloads into the middle, meant to be unloaded into the mineral crate that can dock into the middle.

@jerryfanfan where is the unloading area?
Surottoru Jun 16, 2024 @ 12:06am 
Explodes when landing automatically. Manually landing only works sometimes

When I use the flying vehicle that can transport this, it wants to go backwards in the air, forcing me to use the horiz thrust, but then it barely moves.
The Burber (she/her) Apr 8, 2023 @ 5:29pm 
1. sometimes the drill gets stuck in the full down position
2. you should make a train car to transport this!
clevercole98 Feb 18, 2023 @ 3:09pm 
Problem, I have noticed it is so easy to accidentally catch fire.
MrKiel Jan 16, 2023 @ 2:25am 
I too noticed this - it does pull slightly to the right. When it gets really low on fuel, it seems like only the left side wheels / tracks actually work. Gets worse when it runs low on fuel, keeping it topped up seems to help!
jerryfanfan  [author] Jan 15, 2023 @ 8:30pm 
you mean W pulls slightly to the right? or just make it turn right without going forward?
It seems to have something to do with the delay that torque passes through pivots and sliders being removed. I made an update which should compensate for this.
RedBane Jan 15, 2023 @ 6:09pm 
When I try driving this, W turns right, S turns left, A and D make hard turns in their respective directions
MrKiel Jan 8, 2023 @ 7:28pm 
Thanks for the quick fix!

Fluid filter - having a couple of blocks out of place wouldn't bother me, but I can workaround it now that I know it doesn't have one. I'm new to the game and didn't realise custom tanks could get contaminated! :steamfacepalm:
jerryfanfan  [author] Jan 8, 2023 @ 7:02pm 
Thanks for the catch@Mr Kiel. I fixed the broken pipe issue.
Fluid filter I'm not sure where to put in it. The hull above the the fluid hose anchor is already occupied by pumps. Though if looks were not a big concern, it can be replace a straight section of hull pipe above the hose anchor.
MrKiel Jan 8, 2023 @ 1:31pm 
Can I also request a filter to be added to the fuel intake to prevent non-diesel fluids getting in?
MrKiel Jan 8, 2023 @ 12:42pm 
Great build!

There's a problem with the pipework somewhere, I can't seem to completely refuel it or empty it. Only the tanks on one side (the fuel connector side) actually refill.
Mashed Dec 30, 2022 @ 10:39pm 
yes i believe so last updated 15 Dec is the one im subbed to
Panem Dec 29, 2022 @ 5:18am 
Thanks bro, it was actually it ! I managed to repair it from below (even though it didn't look damaged it had a few blocks crashed). Thanks a lot ! :)
jerryfanfan  [author] Dec 29, 2022 @ 1:31am 
Yo Panem, glad you like it. Maybe the container is damaged on the bottom? at microcontroller for the unload funnels? Not sure how you can hit it with a welding torch tho.
Panem Dec 29, 2022 @ 1:01am 
Very good creation, thanks ! However can't unload the minerals in the raffinery even when set up as in the images. Payload toogle button not working? Anyway great fan of the CSSACT, made lots of money with shiping :)
jerryfanfan  [author] Dec 29, 2022 @ 12:11am 
Did you get the newer version of the CSSACT that has softer landing? It sloves a lot, but maybe not all landing problems. It's the one with slopes, rather than a horizontal bar on the bottom.
Mashed Dec 28, 2022 @ 8:51pm 
love this set of creations however im having a very annoying issue with this one where the bottom of it is just to low and is resulting in the creation often catching fire on autopilot landing. maybe if the wheels on the CSSACT had suspension like this does and could be lowered a we bit then it would avoid possible pain on landing
PirateAstronaut Dec 21, 2022 @ 2:01pm 
Oh i figured it out but still this is GREAT! so useful
PirateAstronaut Dec 21, 2022 @ 1:58pm 
How to lower to drill and other than that this is GREAT!

Thanks for the kind words @Urbanicus @festive speed bump :steamhappy::steamhappy:

This is amazing. I just spent the last week trying to come up with some kind of easily transportable mining operation (which would preferably use your ISO mineral containers), and here you go, dropping this gem the day after I had given up. Your designs are elegant, functional, and help take so much stress out of certain game elements.
resident eeper Dec 13, 2022 @ 1:23pm 
jerry you are actually crazy, you keep coming out with more and more for this thing and its all beautiful
