Mining

b possible path finding issue

4 years ago

Started a new game since my rail network was beginning to clog after 600 rocket launches. Anyway. in a new game and 3 crashes in a 2 hours each has path finding in the trace. I don't have bitter effecting mods installed so i'm assuming the mining drones are to blame. beginning base was in middle of 4 depots so i though maybe they where getting hung up on a furnace of something. moved whole starting base and put 20 drones per depot after lining them up so only thing the drones have to path find around is each other. here are the last two traces, if it is something else i'll post the logs somewhere else.

figured out the issue, was a wood mining depot that had a nearby water feature. stopped the mining, stopped the crashes.

I have had similar crashes, see my other thread for links to lots and save games that will trigger them. I restarted on a map with water only in starting area to minimize it but still had some when mining near the water.

From my observations the drones are trying to get to an ore square that is bordering on the water and get stuck on little jagged water bits. I suspect they are trying to stand on the water to mine that square. Adding landfill seems to fix the issue.

The crashes I was having don't happen right away so if you see the miners getting stuck you can remote them from the depot and they respawn in time without crashes. I hat gives you time to landfill or manually mine the spot in question.
