I've designed a miner ship that mine strategic resurses and a cargo hold with about 2000. Private sector bought 2 of them and send to a planet with 2 strat. resource and on luxury resource. Severela month later i noticed that they still there - collected about 500 of each str. res and stop extracting. Running game fast forward for a couple of month - no change. still stuck in there doing nothing. checked planet deposit in editor - have plenty of res.

Then i give one ship to another empire. Private sector build a replacement, but this time sent it to a planet without luxury, so it fill it cargo pretty fast and return to a starport.

I belive that presence of luxry and imposibility to mine it somehow stuck regular mining.

It is one of the quirks of the game. The mining ships aim to gather a roughly even split of each resource present. You need to add luxury resource extractors to your mining ships (and gas mining ships) for when this situation arises.

Yes i design everything with luxury extractors and never ran into your problem.

Thanks for this report.

This is fixed in the next update, so that mining ships without luxury resource extraction capability will still properly mine locations with luxury resources.

Thanks
