Oolite Bulletins

Hi just joined, been Ooliting for a while on and off. I was a big Elite player back in the dim and distant past on BBC, Speccy and Atari ST.

I enjoy a bit of Asteroid mining so I have a fitted an Ore processor but have discovered when scooping up everything is treated as tonnes even if the actual processed commodity is grams or Kilos so you can only have a total of 35 units of scooped goods. It seems to right it's self once 1 tonne of goods is sold.

Hi, Vvlad, and welcome to the friendliest boards this side of Riedquat!

Even if the precious cargo is weighted in grams or kilos, the scooped container (weren't they in the safe?) itself still takes up a tonne on your cargo hold until you dock and (automatically) re-stow the hold.

Good answer

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."

Dock at a nearby Rock Hermit, dump off all cargo, go back out...SCORE!
Go back and get your cargo later...it won't move unless you move it or leave the system.
