Drones will fire salvagebeam, won't actually mine

[Thornfalk]

I have all the proper stuff to mine asteroids, and some just won't mine as the title says.
There is a video of it I'm beyond words at how to fix it.

I dont use miner drones, but maybe you have to connect the beams to the container somehow?, idk, if it still doesnt work, create a new entry with the miner ship that works, and replace your broken miner with the one that works

It's all connected up as it should be, they are all replicas of eachother with only half working and half not working. I even demonstrated it in the video that firing the lasers puts stuff into the storage

can you send me that ship that doesnt work as ai? i want to test it and see where the problem is, i mean, create a catalog entry with a broken one and export it and send it to me

It's the exact same design as the ones that do, but i can still upload it. It mines fine with someone in it and 3/10 work without someone in it.

It says that the rar is damaged and cannot be opened, anyways i just wanna try if it works on my game and its something to do with your game instead of the ship

AI Wont mine sometimes.rar
Theres a media fire link to a new .rar

Any update on what could be the problem?

I'd check if both the Salvager Computers are linked to a Storage and if the Storage has enough cargo space. If one or both of these are not done than odds are there's your problem.

That.Is.Not.The.Problem. It's all wired up 100% fine. I have a video of it working when i fire, and not working when the AI uses it. I made a new one to CLEARLY demonstrate this.

Bump need reply soonish since the server got a population boom and now people are openly talking about randomly raiding.

All I can see is that the big drone in the beginning has an offset core. AFAIK, the fleet AI uses cores to target so it might be firing and not hitting anything because of the core offset. Try building a drone with the core centered on the array and see if that helps.
