![]() Drones work just fine with multiple groups if you plan those groups to hit nearby rock material as the drone attempts to mine single blocks, but as noted certain configurations seem to break them.KEEP IT SIMPLE UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT WORKS!.More than 2-2.5 thrust ratio seems to break drones.Putting effects on drones seems to break them.Slaving systems to salvage seems to break drones.Stop work frequently to test and then re-blueprint your drone.When you have a decent sized drone that works - BLUEPRINT IT BEFORE GOING FARTHER! I think that when something breaks a drone miner, even reversing the change doesn't fix it, but the BP will let you go back to a stage where it worked.Certain configurations seem to break drones (I suspect not having a central beam within their array does this, and possibly having the mining array all in front of or behind the core, as well as possibly the center of gravity being too far from the core, and other strange things). Build your basic systems first before investing time into appearance.So don't waste time - first make sure the core is good. I have no explanation, I know only that once I establish that a new core works for mining, it does - even upon BP respawn, importing and exporting. Because some cores seem to just refuse to work for drone mining. Drop a core, add power, thrust, salvage and storage ONLY then test it before going even one step further. OLD Drone Creation Guide - now obsolete due to improved fleet AI: Drone creation has gotten much easier these days, but I have retained my old set of tips used to get around the super-bugs surrounding the old mining drones: ![]() I strongly recommend downloading vetted mining drones from a good engineer over everyone trying to build their own then melting down over how it isn't working. It just requires a lot of persistence, a lot of familiarity with the game, and a willingness to try a few times before you get drones that work. Like chaindrives and docked reactors, their creation is very much not a 1st Tier affair, but DO NOT be misled by the complaints of those who are unable to make it work. Under the current build, mining drones actually work reasonably well, and you can use them to your profit! As a family man who works from home and often needs to be AFK unexpectedly while playing SM, I've found that mining drones go a long ways towards making up part of the resource gap between myself and kids with 6-10 hours to play without interruption several days a week. After extensive fine tuning of my drones, my carryall, and my technique I'm really loving it now. I have been drone mining (using fleets, of course) more and more lately. ![]()
