Group mode and jet cans question

[Spaceboy]

I'm running a few miners and a hauler and I'm having a few issues.

The "Master" account is set to "Master" and "Group Mode"
All other accounts are set to "Group Mode"
All accounts are set to Delivery:Jetcan (Not Safe Jetcan)
All accounts have location set to their own pilot names
All accounts have identical settings other than these relevant ones.

Method: Run master account, wait til it starts mining, then hit "Broadcast Run" to get the other miners undocked and at my location.


I've tried the "Keep at Range" with my master account pilot set as location with the same issues.



The issue:
Every account except the master keeps wanting to drop off ore in a station, and will very rarely use a jetcan of their own or one within 2400m

Am I doing something wrong?

i had this issue some time ago, the way i resolved it.

Location Type: Jetcan
Location Name: NULL

if you have the station bm in location name it seems to want to dock to unload the ore.

Panic Location bm should be a unique name and have only 1 bm of that name in the same system u are mining in. i also keep the same bm in the label tab under safe spot.

with the eve stacking bug, the jetcan doesnt always show the correct amount of ore which results in evebot warping your miners out and back to try and reset the issue. which doesnt work since the group master is normaly the one to bug out and he doesnt warp.
To fix this, make sure that none of your jetcan miners are within range of each others cans. i.e i keep my miners 3200m away from each other.

hope this helps

ohh and have the ORE hold pre-opened in space on each of your miners. evebot also bugs out since ccp changed the cargo bay system.

Thanks for all the good advice, I really appreciate it.

One more question-

How does the Service-On-Demand work for Hauler? I tried using that setting and it just bounced between safe spots and never picked up ore.

i havent used that option since the rats where changed and they now change targets to the hauler. the hauler wont warp out regardless of the damage it takes untill it finishes running its script.

but when i did use it. the options i had set where.
Main Tab - Bot Mode: Hauler
Miner Tab - Cargo Full Threshold: 500m3 under your haulers maxium
- Location Type: Station
- Location Name: put the bookmark name of the station, make it a short unique name
Hauler Tab - Mode: Service on-demand
- Orca running evebot: deactive
- Pickup Location: Put the name of your group master here
- Mining system bookmark: right click the system name in the top left of the game window, save location, change name to something short and unique. then put that here.

with it setup like this the hauler should warp to your group master every time he fills a can, and collect any other cans around the group master. it doesnt work to well if your running an itty 5 and have more then 3 miners since the hauler just cant haul enough each time
