State miner

Help needed. I've build this. It moves, goes to the location and will return to where it left from and unload but I can't get it to unload anywhere else? Sure when I built one before it would.

That's a weird ship. No Ion drives, no gas tanks. Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture.

Anyhoo, mining ships go mine then drop off at a colony. That's what they do. I think Baconmod gave more control.

It has engines you can't see them as the game window is to small to fit all components.

So what your saying is if I send it enpty to a location then give it a mining op it will return to were it started the op.
