When miners won't mine

Major Miner · Developing Poster

I've run into this several times. It cost me a game the other day.

There are three things I've seen happen.

One, is when a mining station just stops accepting galaxite regardless of how much storage you have.

The other is if you build a mining station when you have hit your limit of tanks, it won't ever work.

Finally, sometimes the mining tanks themselves just go stoopid on you and stop dumping galaxite until you specifically tell them where to dump it. This is what happened to me the other day. I was in a grind-it-out war on BOT 1v1, and suddenly, I was out of money! I look down and all my mining tanks are just sitting there by the mining stations, full of galaxite, but not dumping it. This cost me the game as the resulting production lag was fatal as you'd expect in a grind-it-out scenario where both guys are making tanks as fast as possible and throwing them at each other...

Any thoughts?

It happened to me, but mostly in 2v2 corners and 4-corners. Also in the new bot map, wity wider opening. My truck always sit around once a truck gets in the ore factory before them. When i play in the regular map bot, it doesnt do that, the truck waits for the other truck to finish then they go in once the other truck is finish even if it takes long.

Yes, it happens to me alot on my maps, especially FWR. It must be in the way I set up my triggers.

Yes, I think it was!

I'm learning to just watch the little bastids more carefully and watch the money too. No assumptions.

i will never... NEVER build extra bullpups. except on occasions od DIRE need (2% of my games) cuz they get stupid. better to make refineries individually. the effeciency pays off in the end
