[0.17.2] Miner over multiple ores produces only 1 ore

Post by IronOrme »

When the miner is over multiple ores, it only produces 1 ore. In my case it was 70% over copper and 30% over coal, but it only produced coal.

The miner chooses a target ore tile and mines 10 ores before switching to a new tile(in order). Can you set the game speed very high and check over a long period? Or provide the save.

I only got through about 15 before I logged this. The right chose 1 more set of 10 for the coal before changing to copper (and chose copper a lot after that). The middle one chose 6 sets of 10 of coal before changing to copper for 1 set. It seems to balance in the long run to the percentage of ore underneath it.

Please close this report. Apologies for jumping in too early.
