How to Automate Mining Asteroids in EVE Online

As far as I see, it only responds to threats which are observable in the following forms:

  • Presence of rats
  • Shield hitpoints being below configured threshold.
  • Own ship is jammed

But not to other threats.

can you show a picture like I asked here? Ore hold capacity not used (Null), although it shows up in API Explorer - #4 by kaboonus

one where we can see if your bot see the rats or not

When the bot finishes mining, it doesn’t offload the storage and just gets stuck at a station with 95% cargo in a dock, undock loop. While I think it may be in due part because of my low framerate, is there another issue that I am overlooking?

The inventory window in game is big enough? At the right, The items are in list or it shows in pictures? At the left of window tthe text of ships is entirely visible?

Hello, i am new in the game, just hit 8 mil sp and i am using the alpha state program. I am unable to pay for the monthly subscription and i understand that using the bot may lead to pernament ban. I just wanted to ask if this bot will help me deal with rats? Can it make my ship to ward to my station of i get ganked?
Thanks.

you have right on this one.

yes, the bot, could help you deal with rats
This one, GARBAGE-2/only rats + commander loot at garbage-onlyrats-commander-loot · kaboonus/GARBAGE-2 · GitHub
and you have to read this 2 posts, to learn how to use him and setup the ingame
Gift Anomaly Ratting salvAGE Bot with Sanderling - GARBAGE-2 and measuring his efficiency - #64 by kaboonus
Ratting bot: anomaly and/or asteroids with Sanderling

there is no answer to that.
all anomaly scripts are " securing" against ganking through running when reds are appearing in system ( this is most secured way) and runing when a red is appear on your grid. this one is not so secured because some ships target you in 0.5-0.7 sec and disrupt you. there is no bot/script to react at this time values

Hello New Player here…

I tried to use the mining bot but it seems that it won’t UNDOCK…
Did I do something wrong?

  • the bot wont undock
  • will it work with at least 5 accounts
  • i tried to copy and paste the orca script
  • idk what im doing at all(im a tard)
  • the orca warps to belts but will not launch mining nor combat drones
  • im wasting my credits lol

orca script is not made by Viir;

the original post is here:

so read him to make the changes accordingly.The script was made in specific conditions. and other peoples made their modifications and published their script

since orca bot it was made for a specific person, he will not be updated but you can fix by yourself, .
undocking was changed and the fix you find him here:

i really suck at this, i have no idea what the hell im doing lol

Thanky @Sapper09 for sharing your experience.

Thank you for drawing attention to this problem. I changed the first post in this thread to clarify that the particular bot linked in this guide does not work anymore since the the undock changes in May.
We discovered a solution to the undock problem at BotLab Devlog - #16 by Viir. But applying this solution requires using a text editor to edit the bot code. When I have time to test a bot that works now, I can update this guide accordingly.

Yes, some people use the Sanderling app with more than five accounts at the same time.

Are you using another script than the one linked in this topic? Or is the script linked here supposed to launch mining or combat drones?

If you want to learn more or have a question about these, let me know.

Can someone assist me with these steps, since I have no idea what they mean?

  • Enable the info panel ‘System info’. The bot needs this to find asteroid belts and stations.
  • Arrange windows to not occlude ship modules or info panels.
  • In the ship UI, disable “Display Passive Modules” and disable “Display Empty Slots” and enable “Display Module Tooltips”. The bot uses the module tooltips to automatically identify the properties of the modules.

Yes, I think the meaning of these points can be better illustrated with a screenshot. Just open the game client, undock, take a screenshot and link it here. You can upload a screenshot at https://imgur.com/

hello
i tried to start the bot, and did the steps to prepare overview and such, but it did’t work. i feel really really stupid now.

could anyone pls upload a screenshot to show me how the proper overview and the rest for the sanderling should be look like?

@Dozornui, the problem could be caused by the EVE Online client set to use 64 bit:

This is a screenshot of the settings user interface in EVE Online where you can turn of Run clients with 64 bit:

thank you, i’ll try it later and tell how it works

Sorry for not understanding this at all. Am not a coder. I did step by step for the mining bot as in the OP than validated as per the instructions within the downloaded bot. I also understand from the OP that the mining bot is broken and followed the links to see how to enable it but have not been able to figure it out. The real issue for me is that the travel bot also doesnt work and seems EVE Online Client reading may not be working properly. I tried to run the mining bot anyway to see what happens.

Im on Windows 10 / 64 bit, with.net 3.0 and 4.8. Edited and saved a new Overview tab “Mining” which includes all asteroids and NPCs. Inventory is in list mode. Nothing is obscured. Im docked at the station in a system with asteroids. I though cant figure out where to configure the bot to use this preset tab.

When I run the bot with this setup the following occurs.

  1. “EVE Online Client” tab in the bot stays a red X,
  2. If I open the “EVE Online Client” tab then I see “eve online process” is green ticked but “last measurement” is a red X, There are some yellow exclamation marks there advising that first measurement took longer than subsequent ones average cpu 15s and remaining session duration too short,
  3. if I attempt to run the bot as such the bot loops with the following 3 lines repeating
    10-08-46.190: Attempt to initiate dock to or warp to menu entry in submenu ‘stations’
    10-08-46.997: Submenu ‘stations’ not found in the solar system menu.
    10-08-47.759: ore container fill: %, mining range: 0, mining modules (inactive): 0(0), shield.hp: %, retreat: shield hp, JLA: , overview.rats: , overview.roids: , offload count: 0, nextAct: MainStep

Appreciate if you can provide any help at all.

Hi Wizard, thank you for reporting this problem. Sorry to hear it did not work.

That is good to know, because as long as even the travel bot does not work for you we don’t need to try the mining bot.
So we will focus on getting the travel bot working first, because that one has a much simpler logic and is less likely to fail for other reasons than failing memory reading. I will review the travel bot today.
We have a newer travel bot which should be simpler to set up and also more robust. Just need to test it and write the setup instructions. I will get back to you later.
