ownership possibly?
it can only detect things owned by the same person as the p-block is owned by, so could just not be seeing it, unless there are any mods in the world

@Rdav

It keeps saying, "Please dock to a (static) connector"
I am connector to my base landing pad but it doesn't seem to recognize it, any ideas?

Will the miner auto deposit its cargo or will I need to set up a conveyor sorter? Also does the script work as of sep2024?

Does anyone know if this script is still working . Tried it and no matter what I paste between the @@ all I get is an error that makes no sense at all saying

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Question: does this script work in a scenario where multiple mining drones work out of one mothership? I know there are other scripts out there that do that but I’m finding all the options I can

I don't suppose anyone could offer me some advice? For some absurd reason my miner when using this script simply won't dock with the home connector after filling up. It flies back and then stops a few metres above the connector and that's it. The p-block just says 'docking'.

mine just slammed wondered up to the asteroid like a drunk going to a kebab shop then slammed itself into the ore completely dismantling the whole ship.

It's a blueprint.

hey I can only see this script in F10 in survival and says it can only be opened in creative. In game scripts are enabled.

My miner just sits on the connector with 0 coordinates after giving it the coordinates in the custom data...

GPS keeps saying invalid format cant get it to run, any ideas?

Unless its mining, where it uses its own logic, it otherwise relies on Keen Autopilot, which is trash at best.

Is this script have some kind of collision detection? Miner keeps crashing into other ships.

At least yours isn't just full-body tackling the connector like mine. Made an Asteroid Eater with a recessed bottom connector; flies forward to reach bottom connector.

Great Script so far, but im having some issues with the miner hovering above the connector about 5 meters and not connecting after mining. any suggestions?

Legend, Thankyou.

oh sorry, when I made this this was made in blueprint form, you will find it in a blueprint menu

It is enabled, I have a Workshop solar tracker accessible in the list, and other blank copies of you script, but yours is invisible.

you need to enable ingame scripts in game settings

this script isn't visible in PBlock menu list after subscription and download, is there some paywall I cant see through?

my drone just sits in front of asteroid after cargo is transported from drills to cargo containers, also when its docking it just stays near connector whithout doing anything, aby fix?

it should still be working yes

Does this work? The miner (I've even tried others) just sits there looking at the asteroid.
The GPS is placed 30 meters away.

Love this script, thanks very much for it.

One issue I'm having is that the miner comes back to base and docks with the connector at a 45 degree angle, nose down. Not sue what's going on. Connector is on the bottom and I connected straight and level. Base is an asteroid if that matters.

Other thing is a question/request. Does it turn on hydro tanks to stockpile to fill them up? If it doesn't, is that a feature I can request for if/when you have time

Its functionality is intrinsically tied to keens remote control block, so unless they fix it, then there's not much I can do apart from a few QOL changes here and there, without remaking the entire thing, which is not off the cards, but unlikely at the moment.

will you ever update this script?

so having issues with the GPS pasting. Copy from the GPS screen and when I paste it into the Custom Data I get a whole load of numbers that are not coordinates and it gives me a formatting error in the Programming Block status.

need to enable scripts in the world

i dont have the edit option in the programmable block

nope

Will this work on moon for mining ice and docking in space?

because its a blueprint, with a programmable block, with a script in it

why is this listed as a blueprint?

im getting the error "cant find front facing remote control" but i have one i have moved and replaced and recompiled everytime and nothing is working what am i missing

Exactly what I needed, came highly recommended, thank you very much.

Man its awesome and im using it together with command fleet but How do you restart mining after you use FIN argument?!

@rdav. I've used this script before, however when I last used it, the drones didn't queue for docking, for example if there was another drone on the connector, it would try to dock anyways, has this functionality been added/fixed?

If the craft only has battery power, does the script recognize to let it charge? In the same vein, if given an h2 tank/reactors, does it know to stock up on fuel before venturing out?

if its flipping between them then something has going awry, it could be the vanilla remote control being bonkers, or something about the specific asteroid you've picked, keen updated the way asteroids worked within the last year or so and it seemed to have compounded some of the rarer issues the script experienced

3 things if you haven't figured them out yet. Slowing rotational velocity, drift cancellation disabled, and drift cancellation enabled.That's what it's showing for me. But mostly the drift cancellation bits.

Going a simple 581 m doesn't seem to work either. Bad case of the wiggles as soon as it moves away from the station.

My miner goes 2.21 km away from the asteroid and then turns around in circles despite my GPS being 20 m away

is it updated for 2022 space engineers?

a couple things, are there any settings to make the miner work better? like block inventory size and others. I also have been reading through the comments trying to find out why the script will dig approx 20 metres in, and then leave regardless of whether its cargo is full or not.

another thing, which is the main thing I want to talk about, are you still actively/semi-actively working on this improved version of vanilla autopilot that I've seen mentioned a few times in comments of various scripts? I really like your work and hope to see more but all the scripts ive installed (I can't figure out of its due to the script itself or my lack of skill) never seem to work for me

Possible to keep it from plunging? aka dive in 50m and pull out to dive in again?

nope

Hey, does the script automatically recharge the battery?

In the mining logic panel it just says ‘drift cancellation enabled/disabled’ and ‘slowing rotational velocity’
