AutoMiners Dissapered... Exploit,bug illegal use

Dr_Dasslock26m

HI I understand your frustration but one quick note :

ATM the AM are broken Rex as made a few post about this. You choose to continue to use this " broken item " then
complain about it.

A fix for the auto miners is coming. Until then save yourself and the Admin the head ache and hummmm mine with the drill…

Just my 2 cents

This isn’t about the AM’n being broken, we build bases around them to deal with that fact.
The fact that we have bases around out AM’s now, is also the reason we have the logs.

The thing we’re having issues with is when the same people show up at virtually ALL bases we have on that planet and the AM’s go missing!! We give our bases numbers, so it’s really easy to see that they have systematically visited all our bases and cleared it of AM’s and ore.

We build the bases with “flat” blocks and try to make them as small as possible, so they’re not in the way for other miners. We also never put them in a way that stops anyone from mining.
In this case that’s a problem, since the “flat” blocks can be rotated with a block rotating tool, even other peoples bases and even tho it’s PvE… So, they …

  • Exploit the fact that you can rotate blocks on other peoples bases
  • Exploit the fact that you can dismantle other peoples "standalone structures"with a multi tool
  • They do this on a (at the moment) PvE planet, even tho they are “Pirates”

These people are an infection to community in general and the server in particular.
I don’t think a permanent ban would be just a penalty to them, i think it would benefit the server in general.

Blocking ore veins on PVE is not inline with the rules, IF your base is keeping someone from getting to the ore might want to re read the rules if that is the case.

One more thing sorry for the double post , I just don’t want to sound as if I am defending anyone that might be a using exploits.

One building a lot of bases over ore nods is not a good idea and I am pretty sure is a grief in it of itself.

Two the am is going to be fixed soonish, Save yourself and Rex a lot of head ache and either mine with the drill or just keep replacing the AM.

It’s not perfect but just seem that trying to use this broken item atm is more of head ache for everyone but the people that are getting rich from all the free ore.

Just permaban them, it saves a lot of things. I they cant play by the rules then they never will.
