Eve Mining Bot - Catalyst expansion may be causing issues - not seeing any mining module

1

Running the version from 3 weeks ago I see the following on a Retriever with 2 Strip Miner I’s.

“Found 0 mining modules. I see the drones window: In bay: 0, in space: 5.”

The bot did scan the available modules. Will get a session log as soon as I can, the export is failing on a Shadow PC for some reason.

Session log sent via email.

Hey Japf,

Thank you for sharing!

In the session recording you sent me, I found that your game client now uses a slightly different label in the tooltips on mining modules.
I updated the mining bot to adapt it to the new tooltip labels.

You can run the new mining bot from https://catalog.botlab.org/acc1d7748ad9838b

Cheers,
Michael

I can confirm this issue is now fixed.

Mine does not work at all. Same issue.

“Session performance: times unloaded: 0, volume unloaded / m³: 0

Current reading: mining hold filled 0%. Shield HP at 100%. Found 0 mining modules. I see the drones window: In bay: 1, in space: 1.

  • The mining hold is not yet filled 99%. Get more ore.
    ++ I see no locked target.
    +++ Choosing asteroid ‘Asteroid (Plagioclase)’
    ++++ Object is not in range (14000 meters away). Approach.
    +++++ Failed to continue context menu: Could not find menu entry with text containing ‘approach’.
    ++++++ Open context menu on overview entry ‘Asteroid (Plagioclase)’

EVE Online framework status:
Reading from game completed”

Basically, the drone will launch from base to the site, then not identify any asteroids even though it is surrounded by them. It will spin and spin. When I pause the robot and restart it, it will lock on to a asteroid, but never actually start mining, it just sits there.

After this latest patch, there are so many errors it’s getting bad.

Hey Daisy,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

That one is older and not compatible with the Catalyst game client.

I updated the mining bot, you can start the new EVE Online mining bot from https://catalog.botlab.org/acc1d7748ad9838b

We improved robustness further with version https://catalog.botlab.org/b4c7c1bace9ff84b
