Since this can escape gravity, how well does this do without O2 tanks? Or is mainly ment for PlanetSide?

@Spite. I got it working straight after I posted this. Its worked since!

I love this boat!!!

Thanks Katarina!

BooseOG and MightyNoob, a quick test by spawning it in this morning shows PAM still working, for me at least, so the next things to check are:

1. Do you have scripts enabled in your worlds?
2. Do you have any mods that may affect the ship enabled?
3. Does PAM work on other ships in the same world that you're having trouble with this one?

MightyN0ob

Same for me. Checked buy spawning it in and the problem still exists. Remote not found

check if your ship is fully built. for me PAM worked with no issues

Does PAM just not work on this ship? I turned the programmable block on, everything seems named correctly when comparing to the PAM guide, but the PB states no remote found. Is this an issue with PAM, or the ship ):

Or me?

i've been playing this game for 3.000 hours now and this miner is pretty much the one and only for me (for mining operations in atmosphere). it looks amazing, behaves great, doesnt have too much thrust nor does it have too less, it isnt too big but still carries enough per trip, its just PERFECT. i only had to make some minor modifications so it fits for my taste (like adding a few scripts and a auto refill via event controller) but yea, its definitely THE MINER TO RULE THEM ALL!!!

Best small grid miner i have ever used, easily used and as cargo ship

This ship is heavily underrated. Jealous lads?

Glad it was such an easy fix in the end, happy mining!

Yep I left the tanks on stockpile, didn't realise it mattered. Thanks.

Let us know if it works!

Oh that might be it, thank you both! Great series of ships Spite :)

Thanks for jumping in and helping Kaito :D

Another thing to note is that, although it should be able to get to fly in atmo with a full cargo, it will only have enough thrust to get to space if its cargo is empty.

Sounds like your H2 thrusters aren't actually working. Check if your tanks are set to stockpile?

tried that script for ascent you said about but still came back down, sorry im a bit of a noob

I am going straight up and then it loses momentum at about 7k from the ground and i drop back down

Given that I've taken this to space hundreds of times...


What exactly are you doing and what's happening?

I can't get to space with this, how should i do that ? I am on earth like with all thrusters enabled and a full tank of fuel

Thanks for the great review!

And I always like to hear how engineers are customising the ISL ships.

I didn't know it fit into a quarry miner hole, but I guess it makes sense, since all the SG stuff is designed for the same printer, and the Kaari MK4 and Myxini MK2 quarry miner are kind of pushing the size limit.

Easily one of the best miners I've ever used. It's impressive how much cargo and thrust you managed to pack into such a (relatively) small space. And it can go fully loaded on atmo only! Hell yeah! All I did was add a few scripts to my taste and a camera on top, since I play without 3rd person view.

To be fair, I have not used PAM on it yet. I'm using Blargh's Ascent Cruise Control for the long way up and down the gravity well, SAM for autopilot, and Spug's for actual docking. Sure would be nice if there was a single script handling all 3, but a few timers to trigger them in sequence get the job done.

Did yo know it fits neatly into the hole left by a Myxini Mk2 Quarry Miner? Turns out I don't need to print a 3rd miner for that.

Oh cool! glad to hear its working properly, I'll still do those miners though, eventually!

My issue was the empty hydrogen tanks. Once they were filled up it worked perfectly. I have yet to leave the atmosphere but not from lack of trying haha

The other issue is that all of the miners are pre-Pertam, so although they are stress tested for the other Planets, they will struggle on Pertam.

At some point I will go back and design some high-gravity, low-atmosphere miners.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yeah I'm on Pertam, and I can do it manually ok atmo only, turning in the hydros makes me start to drop (tbh the two small hydro tanks are empty but the others are fullish).

What you describe about the half atmo half hydro sounds consistent, I'll test to see if that's it and let you know

Hmm, first, which planet/moon are you using it on? It should have enough thrust to fly with a full cargo on atmospheric only (except on Pertam).

Second, are you able to mine and move it manually without the same trouble?

Third, PAM wants to use all the thrusters and I haven't found a way to get around that (as far as I know there isn't a way to tall PAM to ignore thrusters?).

The problem is that if the hydrogen thrusters are not operating (for example if the tanks are empty or on stockpile) it looks like it still tries to use half atmo and half H2 thrust, instead of switching to atmo only. Does that sound consistent with what you have been experiencing? Or does it look like a different problem?

Hey there, love the ship but I'm having an issue when using it for PAM.
Whenever I start a PAM job the ship starts to slowly fall to the ground, almost like it can't keep itself up. When I manually turn off the hydrogen thrusters it steadies itself but won't continue the job.
Then every time I stop and start the job it will auto turn on the hydro thrusters and the same thing will happen....any ideas?

Glad you found the issue, may I ask which mod it was?

so, I have found that it indeed was a mod causing the issue, I had a mod which actually replaces the small hydro tanks.

hi, I am using mods ill try in a non mod world

Hi Gaming Elite, sure I'll take a look, but just to check first, do you have any mods installed? Since the last time someone had a similar issue, it was a mod messing with the blocks, could that be the issue?

id be happy to provide screenshots if you need

Hi, love the ships and rovers, however I have noticed something with the ships that are hydro powered ships, they all seem like parts are missing and it also seems like a small hydro tank is added not connected. its almost like the ship was mirrored but not very well. Im geussing prob a se thing, but thought id let you know.
