I hope that helps you out. The issue I have with the mining setup is the miner controller keeps deciding the inventory is full and you need to stand by the miner to keep restarting it. Theres a bug in there somewhere

I think I figured out why that happens. There is a random chance that the mining operation will not yield any results. If that happens, it used to think that because nothing was added to the inventory, it must be full. Will be fixed in the next patch.

Ah, cheers IcyDiamond. I'm having a great time playing around with your mod, with the intention of building the heck out of everything just to see how it goes.

One other issue I could raise (and perhaps I'm not doing things correctly) my fission reactor is sitting in the middle of it's cooling pond and in order to see how each module is performing, I have to enter the cooling pond or the distance is too great. Is there any remote interface facility and if not, is it worth looking at?

If you are happy for me to do so, I would make comments on how things are working and offer suggestions based on what I think would enhance things.

Other than that, this has been a lot of fun and I appreciate your responses.

I have thought about implementing something like that many times, maybe some day.

Hi! It's me again!

I'm sorry, I've another question...

How's the water accumulator/pump/fluid transfer pump is supposed to work? I crafted all three to use on my miner, but can't seem to install it correctly. The fluid transfer pump is specially annoying as it won't install on top of neither the pump or water accumulator.

Thanks!

I can possibly help you out with this one as they are working fine for me.

I have several water accumulators with fluid transfer pumps sitting on top. The accumulator is sitting in the water and the pump sits on top connected into fluid ducts. You need to use a screwdriver to rotate the fluid pump until it sits correctly flush and the hit the pump to activate. Was this what you were chasing or were you looking for something else?

Edit: Rereading your post, if you are trying to setup a miner, the accumulator and fluid pump sit beside the miner. On top is the miner controller which sits atop a miner core which sits atop one or more miner drills. The accumulator sits in the water near to the miner with the fluid pump on top and the duct leading to the miner core, which is surrounded by a circle of opaque ducts that connects to the miner core and miner drill(s).

I hope that helps you out. The issue I have with the mining setup is the miner controller keeps deciding the inventory is full and you need to stand by the miner to keep restarting it. Theres a bug in there somewhere

Thanks for your help! I didn't know about the screwdriver, but it seems my problem persists, The pump won't stay atop no matter which position I take to try to put it (tried from all places and positions).

Hi Icy! The wireless porter is crashing my server when I try to place it... is this a problem?

That fluid pump looks like it is in the correct position but not the correct orientation.

The left and right buttons move the pump through different axes, so try each one until you find the axis that fits the pump to the accumulator.

Warning: Don't try to 'hit' the pump with the screwdriver tool selected or you'll change the orientation. I found the best way was to have nothing selected and then 'hit' the pump to start it.

See how you go with that

Oh, finally, it worked!!! Thanks so much <3

Do you have a crash log? I can't produce a crash with the wireless porter.

Ha!! You little beauty. I'll build that first thing when it comes online. Great effort, Icy

Should be fixed now. And with that, new version, Alpha 18, now released on the ContentDB.

Hi all !

That mod is awesome, thanks to IcyDiamond for making it !

I have a problem with the miner and the pump. The pump is full of water and power, the pipework is done and the miner is also getting all the power needed but it does not get water from the pump.
I know the miner work because I tested it by feeding water manually with bucket.
I have tried several placements and different plumbing options for water but no luck ??
Did I miss something ?

Hi hotcyr,

I have this working fine but my pumps are in the water. I'm not sure how that pipe underneath will affect it. I also have multiple pumps to keep up the volume required. Perhaps try that and see if it helps.

I have attached a screen shot to show my layout.

Well I finally understood what happened ! I tried to make it work with the wrong pump. I replaced the Pump with the Fluid Transfer Pump and it worked. The problem is the recipe for the Fluid Transfer Pump does not appear in the craft guide, even after I built one ! I had to search the lua files to obtain the recipe and after that I was able to craft one and make the miner work.

Thanks for trying to help Yeti !

I have ceased to work on my mods for the foreseeable future. It was nice being part of this community but I'll be going now.

[sorcerykid]

I'm very sorry to hear that you are leaving us, but I wish you all the best. Thank you for your many brilliant contributions.

[Yeti]

Seconded...what sorcerykid said.

Thanks for your contributions IcyDiamond, I have really enjoyed playing with your mods and I'm sorry to see you go.

I also wish you all the best and will hopefully see you back in this community again. Good luck to you.

[HighPopes]

Well even if you're not working on it.

I have a fix for the evaporator and steam turbine. The values still need tweaking.
I don't know how to github so you'll have to get the zip.
https://github.com/HighPopes/Elepower

In short: default water didn't have a gas form so i wrote a special case for it. The usage value of the evaporator led to the steam turbine not producing power so i changed those values. With steam working alot of things opened up.

I don't know. But i patched somethings.

Has anybody been able to use the planter ? I cant' seem to find a way to make it work...
