That would be an amazing quality of life change, I'd definitely vote for it if there were a feature request on the Keen forum ;)

Thanks for the reply! So far I have found that the ships being same name doesn't seem to affect PAM scripts. The problem arises when trying to use one of those ships manually.

I was using a bunch of other miners (DerMakrat's ships) and I kept wondering why a bunch of them would fall off the docking ports at the same time, it was due to them being in recharge and when I'd undock it'd undock all the other ships of same name.

Too bad there's no "Name your ship" window that pops up when selecting a blueprint that could generate group names and name parts based off that string.

Hi Khadgarion, yes that was an issue I had as well, unfortunately last time I asked Isy (admittedly a few years ago now), group names are not something scripts can change.

That was one of the reasons I have the PB's turned off in the blueprints, so that the script don't potentially trigger things in the wrong groups
Khadgarion 22 Jun, 2023 @ 10:54am 
Spite, I love your ships. How do you deal with having multiples of the same ship when it comes to block / grid names? I've been using Isy's Renamer, but group names are not changeable as far as I can tell so each time I make a new ship I have to re-create all the groups and setup the hotbar with the new group names.

Hmmm, the only time this has happened to me is while playing on a dedicated server. When the server restarted with PAM in the middle of a job, it would bug and get stuck in some weird orientations.

If you're not playing on a dedicated server, some things you could try are:

- decrease the forward and back work speed → this creates a slightly wider tunnel
- increase the Width / Height overlap → less chance of leaving a small piece of voxel terrain floating somewhere that the ship can get caught on.
- Make sure that the position you’re starting the job from is directly above and well clear of the terrain you’re going to be mining → if it is too low then there is a possibility that the miner clips the edge of the hole its drilling on the way back to drop off its load, and can tip over

Hope at least some of that was helpful!

Any thoughts on as to how I came upon my miner tipped over like a cow next to the quarry hole? Can't seem to get her up and she has 30% batt. I can make another, but I'd like to avoid having to do this in the future (I'm absolutely positive it is something I did incorrectly)

I like it! definitely naming a miner after a cricket at some point now :D

Oh! Possible design idea / use case, based on a quirk of PAM logic: A tunnel miner that's just designed to bore out rock, without ever trying to drop it off. PAM will keep digging until it hits the battery/fuel threshold if it can't fill the cargo to the set limit. I made a little "mole cricket" drone that had a medium cargo container that wasn't actually hooked up (because I derp and didn't weld the conveyor.) The drone just kept digging, destroying all the stone and returning to recharge when the battery got low.

It ended up being really useful for clearing out big chambers for my base without the minor hassle of dumping the stone or disposing of a couple kilotons of gravel crates. ( ^-^ )
EmberStar 11 Aug, 2021 @ 11:02am 
The additional thrusters seems to have helped, at least in the RoverShred moutains on Earthlike. I was able to push the cargo limit back up to 80% without it getting stuck. (So effectively double the cargo capacity it had before.)

It's likely that it could go a little higher, but with really small ships PAM gets weird about calculating the cargo. It seems to include things like the rover seat, even though it's impossible to use because "no conveyor ports." 80% seems like a "safe" amount though, and it will make collecting enough materials to jump to one of the really big quarry miners much faster. ( ^-^ )

Yeah I remember I had a slower mining speed set ages ago, then on a later PAM update I forgot to change it, so I'll add that to the list!

As for the drills off when reversing, I think that is a very cunning solution for the smaller miners, and will also include that setting change, so thank you!
