Shortly after the server came back upā¦within a week or soā¦I put down 8 autominers on Moruf in the Vualema system (SMbh) on each of the aluminium deposits. I hadnāt been there in about a week due to real life stuff and went there this morning.
1 of my autominers was completely gone from one of the spots and someone had gone to the trouble to dig a huge hole where Iām guessing it was. There are several autominers from someone now in that spot. 4 of the deposits were completely mined outā¦autominer was there but after getting refueling and getting about 4 aluminium there was no source left and my autominer shut off. Iāve pulled all my autominers (7 since the one was deleted Iām guessing from the person who dug out so much it collapsed?). There obviously is no reason to do this except to be a jerk. I wanted to make the admin aware of the issue.
Most of the times are unaware new players that dont know better and deplete the depositsā¦ also there is no restriction on how close another faction autominers can be placed so no need to remove someone else to put yours so highly doubt any griefing involved
one of the many drawbacks of a single player universe being dumped in multiplayer
I highly doubt any of this was malice or intentional griefing. most new players see a resource and have no idea when you zero it out, it doesnāt respawn.
I didnāt put this in as a ticket because I didnāt figure there was anything admin could do about it (I didnāt witness whoever dug out 4+ autominers and it could have been anyone franklyā¦not just whoever has put all the autominers in place now). It has happened to me on 2 different planets now though this season (1 pentaxid deposit for the other one).
I am frustrated that it happened to me as would anyone else I imagine. I posted so people could see itā¦in case it was on accident so theyād know to stop.
This isnāt possible. Autominers arenāt subject to structural integrity. They stay in place when the ground is dug out from under them.
Other players also donāt have any way to interact with them, so not sure how someone could have griefed it in any way possible.
So someone mining the deposit couldnāt have made it disappear.
And players can only destroy them on a PvP playfield.
Sounds more like a game bug or something rather than any kind of griefing.
perhaps someone decided/was forced to play hide and seek with zirax drone behind the Auto Miner, that is the only way i have witnessed AM gets destroyed in PVE space
in game chat and the HWS discord are the best places for public messaging. i can almost guarantee the āculpritā will not see it here. this specific place is for getting community and/or admin assistance with the many wondrous bugsā¦i mean features we experience
