Hey, so I built one of these amazing looking mining platforms, and decided to try it out in a starter survival base when I noticed something odd...
If I maxed out the number of power efficiency modules on it, it behaved backwards to the refinery and assembler when the modules were attached to them.
Instead of lowering the required input, the max required input decreased, leading to the situiation where in the control panel it says that the drill requires 220kW, out of a max requirement of 20kw... very odd O.o

it is its own station on a starter earlike, right beside a lander (not connected)
Dev branch
Survival
one attached assembler with 4 power efficiencies on it
a few conveyor tubes, and an unfinished large reactor also on grid, as well as some solar panels

Hey i noticed that if the platform is on the same grid as an assembler set to cooperative mode, the platform tries to share the constuction queue with the assemblers resulting in less minerals being created then what was originally queued

Dev Branch
Survival

So I noticed on servival mode/stable with no projectors around it won't always use the conveyor system to feed my assembler or export the extra gravel to cargo.

Also experiencing the conveyor issue. Assemblers are unable to pull ingots from the drilling platform on stable build with dedicated server.
I've tried putting a sorter in drain mode in the mix, but it did not help.

Latest dev version
i cant get this mod to load for what ever reason, it just wont show up and im getting frustrated ive tryed everything but nothing has worked

I placed it, how thehell do I turn it on? >_>

I'm having the same issue as Vhab: I have the platform deep enough that it's generating gravel, it has enough power, and nothing can automatically pull the ingots or gravel out: the vanilla sorting device, several sorting mods, and various assemblers.

Edit: right forgot details:

Using Dev version of game, Survival mode, small base nothing more than a reactor, assembler, battery, storage. No projectors

Tidgem, it needs to be one block deep (so that you can only see one of the upgrade spots on the side) in the world and receiving power. You'll see that it's generating gravel into the upper slots. Just pick what resource you want it to convert the gravel to in the production tab, and it'll go.

How do I make it revieve power?

Has stopped mining gravel altogether but you can put gravel into it and still make what you need. drilling part is broken

Sorry for postiong somewere else before:
2 Bugs found:
1st: Sorter cannot drain ingots (or gravel) from the Platform (General Problem)

2nd: Platform create negaive gravel (and stack it then). After Server restart okay, but it can block the platform and one time it crashed the server. (Rare Probpem)

3rd: with my mod "Improved", where are better Speed modules we encounter a "border", that could be fixed within the script that "spawns" gravel. Here the Thiungs around:
Witch one MK6Speedmodule it produces each tick (1.5 seconds) 812k Gravel, with 3 modules round about 2.5M Maximum is about 2.7M, so anothe module "stop" that platform from creating gravel, because the 3.2M are more then max and therefor dont spawn then ;)
So if the script could get an additional part where the max spawn is limited to 2.5M, so that even more Speed modules wont "stop" it. ;)

ok, so i can probably fix the 3rd.
2nd is strange, but technically should be related to taking gravel out, had negative items happen on server without this mod so it's not the mods fault
1st...... i don't even know, what i know that few patches ago turning welders on on a grid with any assembler stopped any assembler from getting required items (this "drill" is also an assembler) not sure how it goes now but probably gonna test soon (or inquire some random dude to do so instead)

For some reason i can not turn the Drilling Platform on, it switches back to off, i made sure i have enough power available.

It was working, but after server restart, or something else, just stopped working, i noticed this before.

Any ideas ? thanks

it turns off if another one is in range, pls double check

Textures are all sorts of ♥♥♥♥♥, mind having a look at it?
