Hey, @Robobot1747.

I would highly recommend to just fuel it directly from [HWS Connect](https://empyrion-homeworld.net/re/hws-connect.html#page-oam). After checking the chat logs, it looks like you just wrote “gold” as the resource name, but I think the OAM needs some specific names like you can see on this page (this page shows them for upgrading, though, but I expect it to be the same for fueling).

Provides you with useful information regarding the Auto Miner. am:info Displays your current fuel level and shows how to view your current miner levels and resources on [HWS Connect](https://empyrion-homeworld.net/hws-connect). am:buy:IR Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Iron Ore am:buy:COP Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Copper Ore am:buy:COB Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Cobalt Ore am:buy:MA Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Magnesium Ore am:buy:PR Buy or Upgrade an Auto Miner Promethium Ore am:buy:NE…

So said in another way, either use HWS Connect which is the easiest, or `am:fuel:GO:3`
