Pagox Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 My rocket has drill cone with diamond and a Large Cargo Bay. But how do I start the drilling? There is no button for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cannot be drilled if there isn't present the appropriate cargo module. For glimmering asteroid field, a liquid cargo tank is required (I have no idea why...) even if you need to drill for solid.

I don't really remember... Or maybe there is no bug report but only forum posts... I haven't messed around with space POI enough to have a complete catalogue of what-needs-what to function but these are some of the weird ones Spoiler I guess you also cannot drill gas or liquid without having a cargo bay for the ones that is possible to drill only solid, but I haven't tested that yet...

I've tested what you said, and it worked! Thank you very very much for this! My rocket flew 6 days for nothing in the first try. Could you explain how your table should be interpreded? What's the difference between "Liquid tank" and "solid+liquid"? But Cargo has a red x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura_sk Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 4 minutes ago, Pagox said: Could you explain how your table should be interpreded? I sent a rocket having a single cargo module. A cargo bay, a liquid tank or a gas tank. And then a rocket having both a liquid tank and a cargo bay. "x" means "no drilling" is happening. It seems like there a specific cargo module required but it is not obvious why. It doesn't seem to depend on how much of an element (e.g. solid for metallic asteroid field) exists on the POI, it will require a liquid cargo although it consists of 70% solid mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagox Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Actually a very strange behavior... But thank you. You analysis is very helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 This look very much to me like some table was shifted by line or something like it. At the very least it would be bad design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
