Rockets can't auto return after mining

  • Branch: Live Branch Version: Windows Fixed

After recent updates, my old mining rockets all stop returning automatically. Here's some simple tests in sandbox.

 


Steps to Reproduce
  1. Clear all floating resource in a space POI
  2. Build a rocket with a Drillcone, a Robo-Pilot Module, a Large Cargo Bay and a Steam Engine
  3. Add some diamonds to Drillcone, then send it to the space POI above
  4. It won't automatically come back, although all diamonds were used up and all floating resources were collected

Good afternoon. 

After 706793 update (which states that the issue is fixed) - the rockets are still stuck, if they run out of dimond when the storage is not full.

Is there any workaround?

Thank you.

i found that if you send a rocket to drill that has a can be completely filled up at the destination it will make a return trip.  so if your drill mines 20kg of solids at the poi and you have a 12kg cargo bay the rocket will come back, but if you use the large 27kg one it will not come back unless there were already enough debris floating to fill it up

The Hotfix 707956 should have fixed this one. please let me know if you still experiencing it.

Good afternoon. 

Checking right now. 

Do I need to "reapply" the round trip to the previously-stuck rockets? Or should all of them be fixed with the new update?

Thank you.
