"Collect minerals" is what I've been using and its all working now with the smaller cargo bay ships.
Collecting 2-3000 ubits of Nividium to fill a dolphins cargobay would have taken a LONG time. . . . . guess thats why it never dropped off, never got full enough.

Very true. While in Kha'ak space, I started with Caiman Miners, but noticed that it took time, and it really is not fun to lose an "almost full" collector. In that duty the Falcon Haulers (room for ~80 Nividium) were much more "stable".Bishop149 wrote:Collecting 2-3000 ubits of Nividium to fill a dolphins cargobay would have taken a LONG time. . . . . guess thats why it never dropped off, never got full enough.
But bigger ship makes less unloading trips and does thus relatively more collecting. [ Assuming that it can unload to somewhere with enough space. A collector, even a smallish one, in Trade mode is unlikely to sell whole load into single NPC station, for their stocks (and needs) are limited. ]

You can build a Mine on map asteroid. The number of those asteroids is finite. It is simpler to blow them yourself than add one more option to the Miner script. As it is, you have total control over which map asteroids stay, and which are mined. That would be my guess on the "reason".Starcub wrote:Nice script, but is there a reason why my bigmissle laser equipped Caiman Miner can't figure out how to break map asteroids on his own?

Can't make it work. :(
I'm using the Steam version, I have the latest bonus pack installed. I bought a Caiman Miner.
The "Collect Minerals" option appears, but it is greyed out. I have most optional softwares installed (although not Trade 3 or Fight 2). I have a mobile drilling system. No other weapons.
Help?

In fact, the Caiman Miner comes with all of those things built in.rlpowell wrote:I have all of those things. Yes, I am flying the ship.jlehtone wrote:No home set => work in Trade mode.* Required:

- Mineral scanner
- Special commands software
You are not flying the ship, are you?

mobile mining/mineral collection script by bunny..a question.
when a mobile miner has exhausted a sector of rocks to break down, will the rocks then re-spawn later on or do they stay gone.
just need to know as i have 2 mobile miners saying there are no rocks to mine, starting larger search.

Hi all i post here because I have a problem. I feel sorry for those who say they read the readme, but as you say on here as I have read and i have a big problem that i cannot resolve . I have my X3R in spanish and i recently installed the bonus pack for this 2 commands: "Attack Rocks" and Mobile mining and i have problems when i write in the name of my ship "Silicon" they start to want Ore (the word in Spanish: Mena, for example: Minero Ishimura "Silicon" cannot start collecting Mena, he will start a long search) I rewrite the name of all my ships and nothing happens. This are the names that i tried:
TL-: Ishimura (Silicon), Ishimura "Silicon", Ishimura Silicon
TS-: Minero Ishimura (Silicon), Minero Ishimura "Silicon", Minero Ishimura Silicon/ M.Ishimura (Silicon), M.Ishimura "Silicon", M.Ishimura Silicon
M5-: (these works great, but i think because im near the rocks) Excavador Minero "Silicon", Excavador Minero (Silicon)
I tried with the names in Spanish, like Silicio, "Silicio", (Silicio), the only one name i've never tried (and is because my game haven't got special characters) is Silício (the correct word).
I don't know why is this problem, i tried the original and the translate into my language and nothing happens
PD: sorry for repeat too many times the word...
Edit: I tried what the manual says also, it says: Mines/Collects only the minerals carried by the home base (product or resource)
My TL have 10 silicons wafers
Edit: i moved the post from Bonus Pack thread to this i think is the correct thread, and i will delete the other
TL-: Ishimura (Silicon), Ishimura "Silicon", Ishimura Silicon
TS-: Minero Ishimura (Silicon), Minero Ishimura "Silicon", Minero Ishimura Silicon/ M.Ishimura (Silicon), M.Ishimura "Silicon", M.Ishimura Silicon
M5-: (these works great, but i think because im near the rocks) Excavador Minero "Silicon", Excavador Minero (Silicon)
