A salvager drone shouldn't even attempt salvaging if it isn't hooked up to cargo (chest).Seems it's worse now, can't get any salvage drone to start mining.
They move into position and that's it, they don't orientate themselves to the asteroid afterwards, and they don't use their salvagers.
It cycles constantly between:
{F6772, size = full}
and
{F6774, And also give some notification if that's the casesize = full}
Their range should be 240 instead of 50, that pop up red text over factories that run out of power could be used here,so maybe it doesn't fire its salvage weapons because it's out of range of the asteroid although this didn't happen before. but instead it pops up over the salvage module?The drone in that picture is about 130 meters away from its target asteroid.
Either way, it should stop mining if it doesn't have a linked cargoNOTE: I made sure that the salvage computer was linked to a storage chest, or if there's no room left in therealso checked ships without that and they had the same issue.
