A quick word on unloading (i launch mine manually and recall them manually because my drones have so much storage they won't fill up even after an hour of steady mining so i can see if they return on their own) you connect the drone docking rail to their storage. Luckily when you assign the drone to your fleet the Bobby sets itself up so you don't have to. I haven't been able to get them to respond to fleet commands without it. Yes, i have found you have to have a Bobby AI in your mining drones. Give your drones a storage and lots of cargo space, don't forget to link their docking rail and salvage computer to the storage. I have mine nice and slow and they seem to have minimal difficulty. Fast drones are nice for deploying but the faster they go the harder they will slam into your carrier when you call them back, and the more difficult their docking. Accuracy is an issue, so build your drones with as wide an array as you like but make sure they have a beam close to their center. I suspect if there is no rock within range of their salvage modules they'll just sit there. Drones seem to need to be close to a rock when commanded to mine. I sized the drones down though.docking big drones is a huge pain. I literally built my super mining barge with 15,000 salvage modules in fifty-module groups and set it to mine as a drone and it worked. Everything i post here is current and tested.
STARMADE DRONE STATION FREE
Feel free to try these out for yourselves.
Ok i've been here in the forums and on youtube for help with drones and mining but literally everything i found was so badly out of date that i had to teach myself.so i'm sharing everything i've learned to date, but i'm still learning and experimenting.
STARMADE DRONE STATION HOW TO
Is there a tut how to automate the bee swarm? Like i just give the mining command and they will start to mine till full and return to unload + launch when empty without an additional intervention? Or is there at least a way to put a display on the carrier so i can see the cargo space (full/empty) of the drones? C on Basic Rail (6x) + V on Storage + C on Storage + V on multiple cargo + pull is onĭid i miss something? Or prolly one of those random bugs? C on rail docker + V on Storage + auto pull offĬarrier had 1x Storage. unfortunately the ore transfer didnt work.ĭrone has 1x Storage. But i was unable to dock/launch the drones. I tried a modified version of the carrier tut by Gmodism. I was so happy at least this worked out for all the time i put in.Ī) the mining ships tend to fly into a star so you have to fly em around :/ī) the rail logic is such a mess especially when the advanced building mode bugges out every couple mins. Thx for clarification! The drones do mine as long as there is a mothership aka min 2 ships in fleet. It also looks like the fleet mining command doesnt work for salvagin, just for asteroids or is there a way to drone salvage a derelict/pirate base? In which distance i have to be for mining? Sometimes it feels like i can see the roids but the drones can't so i have to park right in front of one and to move to the next instead of waiting for the drones to fly around and do it by themselves. The only full auto system i've seen on youtube is with cargo containers.ĭrone -> Salvage comp -> Storage -> cargo -> docker | Station -> rail basic -> Storage -> CargoĪuto pull ON in the drone to receive the mined material -> for transfer this option has to be unticked on the drone and to be selected in the base storage. So is there a way to auto switch the Pull-option, so the drones unload themselves when docking? Doing it manually would be no option because its faster to grap it directly from the mining drone. I'm building my 1st drone miner with 6 seperate docking ports for small drones.
