I use mapfindnearest, but they could queue stuff up or something? No idea.

-->Eh, they just go for whatever is closest?
they collect 8 piles of the 10 and then move on to another set of 10 piles which are further away. :)

-->Seems to work okay with those three mods
then I have no idea what was happening

v1.2
If drone controller has no drones then transport will harvest in their area.

Well, I dont have any buildings underground (besides the elevator) and the commander is packed.

But maybe I found the problem. I unsubscribed the "all the stories!", "bugswatter" and "Fizzle Fuze's Library" mods ('cause in my opinion they are not really working) and now the transports collecting the waste rocks again.

If there was the collision with the mentioned mods, I am really sorry to bother you. 'cause it was not this mod fault.

I tried in 2 new games and loaded an existing game and the transporters doing the job at 95% rating. Funny is, that, let's say, there are 10 piles of waste rock right next to each other, and the transporters only collecting 8 or 9 piles. Why they ignore the last one or two I dont know (noting in range of anything)

Thank you for all your help :)

@Zodiarche

Transports in auto mode will pick up any loose resources (excluding those within range of drone hubs/commanders).

That sound like your issue?

v1.1
Ignores certain underground wonder.
Added support for stockpiles from RC Miner.

I'll take a look at the mod on the weekend.

That is sad.

I started a new game with only this mod and the library. maybe you find something in here?

Thanks alot :)

You did, but I don't see any errors in it :(

(any errors related to this mod)

I really hope, I've done it right :)

Hopefully there's something in the logs.

first of all i want to say that i have a lot of your mods and they are very cool.

sadly, the waste rock auto collection doesn't work for me anymore.

everything worked great at one day and i was really happy that i no longer had to deal with the masses of waste rock in the underground myself. (aka activate dozens of transport routes)

I started a new map the next day and activated the "RC dozer auto clear rubble" from your collection as the only new mod compared to the old map. Only that from now on the transporters no longer collect the waste rock.

I tried disabling and re-enabling mod, deactivating and reactivating only the waste rock option and also started a new map with all mods except this one and the required library activated. Unfortunately, the waste rock collection no longer works for me. The transports just standing idle, even next to a waste rock pile.

Do you have any ideas, tips or suggestions?

thank you again!

v1.0
Added mod option to fill storage before unloading.

(however, they WILL go to full on a transport route)

is it possible to have the transports (dozer & constructor as well) go until full? If they are just auto-collecting, if they go and grab, say, 2 polymer and that finishes a stack on the ground, they will go all the way back to dump the 2 polymer, instead of picking up more resources until full

v0.9
Added Storage Amount to building template.

Next Version edit:
Increase max amount to 9990

I do the notes when I upload, but I think steam barfed?

Not sure if you got time to push it to steam, I got not update from steam.

v0.7
I think it's as good as it's going to be.

Yeah, I was fiddling with it earlier, I'll try again in awhile.

Unfortunately I do not have that save anymore. However, the issue is reproducible in a new save as well. More on that later.
Logs are here: https://pastebin.com/wDyyATyH
However, they don't say much.
In game behavior is broken now, to the extent I had to disable the mod. Starting a new game, with map resources to gather, made me realize the mod broke the basic gather functionality now.

The single RCT, in auto mode, constantly tries to unload resources it does not have into a fuel depot. It might be the 1st or 2nd depot I placed on map, but can't be really sure. It behaves like manually commanded to unload something to said depot, although I gave no such commands.
Manually sending him to gather resources works, but after one cycle of gather until full->unload, it returns to the fuel depot.

As it seems that the issue might be more involved to debug, you can ping me on discord, I see you accepted my friend request.

> plastic depot
?

> But instead they all bunch near a plastic depot, and constantly try to deliver to it resources they don't have in their cargo.
I'll take a log of them doing that if you have it?

> So, if you are feeling looking at that, I would greatly appreciate.
Already fixed in last update (along with checking for tech researched).

One issue/limitation, non trivial though, present in vanilla gathering algorithm, is that gathering does not optimize the trip such that RCT tries to gather all resources it could carry before returning to depot. In addition, they ignore another nearby resource, if they currently are in another resource gathering state. Say there's some plastic near a metal chunk, they ignore it if already gathering the metal. This is sort of design remains from the time RCT was powered and needed recharge at power cables, as long gathering missions could leave it with exhausted battery. That is not an issue anymore, as they patched away this game mechanic, though did not adjusted the gathering algorithm also. So, if you are feeling looking at that, I would greatly appreciate.
Main reason to minimize the time RCT is in the wild, gathering, are the Dust twisters and the numbers of RCT i have to bring down to cope with the metal and plastic influx from meteors.

I forgot to say, that now, they indeed do gather the little Waste Rock piles and deliver to to the nearest Dump Pile, either vanilla ones or the modded bigger one.
To answer your question, no, they should not. No resources left on map to gather, they should stay idle. But instead they all bunch near a plastic depot, and constantly try to deliver to it resources they don't have in their cargo. In the process they re-arrange themselves are there is not enough space for all of them to stay near that depot. Not game breaking, but sort of annoying, as I don't know for sure whether they are really idle or have other issue I have to look at, at a short glance.

> it seems to affect RCTransport and breaking the idle state to try to move them to a depo
If you have auto-mode on then they should be moving? (assuming there's some resources to pickup)

Gave it a try, it seems to affect RCTransport and breaking the idle state to try to move them to a depo, even if Waste Rock is disabled in Mod Options. Waking them up happens often enough that the sound they made is being sort of annoying and they are constantly re-arranging themselves to try to reach said depot, even if empty. Can't decide if is a good or a bad thing.

v0.5
When in auto mode fills up storage before trying to offload it.
Hopefully fixed looping waste rocks...

They kept dropping it than picking up another one than dropping it over n over instead of dropping off at depot...

Would like to have some automated way to collect all that waste rock underground. Still hope you find the root cause and re-enable the option to collect it. Alternatively only for RC Dozers, they should be more specialized for waste rock transport.

?

so i re-enable waste rock

v0.4
Disabled waste rock for now.

I had frequent freezes.
I figured out that it was caused by RC Transport "Cheats" ( Is it really a cheat if it should have been in the game? Part of it anyway )
Specifically, it would crash sometimes when the Waste Rock option is on. Disabling it ( and togling auto mode for all RC Transports ) fixed it.

What?

it cannot work according to Sol 399 Night First Attempt

This is the correct place to ask for help on that mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1411113412

I'll need a log file of you starting the game and loading your save
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2391106222

HELLO ChoGGI!, I mean The construct Miner icon is gone.

?

RC MINER is not working ?

v0.3
Auto mode to get waste rock.

:)

Somewhat cheaty...?
Yep

How is this a cheat, very needed added functionality ro RC Transports.
By the way does it work on asteroids and underground too?

... not yet

This includes waste rocks?
