    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

    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.

    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.
