Issues with EveBot

[TartarusMkII]

Hiya everyone. I'm new to isxEVE, but know about .xml's and etc etc.. computer literate.. any how, I got my mining bot to work in eve, but then when I got attacked, it brought my drones out and said that I was below the minimum that was set, so I was like, aw cool, it can do that, so I set my minimum to 2 drones. Then, when I tried to run the script again (since It pauses when I get in trouble), it just went back into the station. Finally, I found the log, and it told me..

Warning: Home station not found, going to nearest base

Now, I tried setting the Location Name in the Miner tab, but I remember in the eve bot for dummies article said something about that the GUI doesn't erase the last character of that input field so I'd have to go to the .xml and change it manually- Yea, I can't find that and I have no idea what to do.

Also, even if it DID work, how do I input a name of a station? Is it a bookmark? or... Do I have to add like Moon 12 - Roden Shipyards Factory etc?..

You can edit fields fine fro the UI, just ensure you're careful about editing. All fields that require a location name are bookmark names.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I restarted the game so everything was reset, so that helped, but now I'm just emptying into the nearest station, also to be expected. Now, I'm going to change the location name in the miner tab to "Home" which is the bookmark of my home station (in the same system) and lets see what happens....... Also can I intervene with things? for example I'm at just about my full threshold but it won't know that until one of the strip miners finishes it's long cycle. If I stop the strip miners will it see it's full and move on to it's next task or will it like pause or something?

And yea, now it works. I don't know why it was having so many issues the first time..

Stopping strip miners.

I know I have a similar issue, but what I have done is calculate a full batch based on what a single miner brings in. Then I do a partial so after the last miner goes, set the threshold to before it would be full. Then I get anywhere from 2/3 to a full load. Depending on if a Hulk, coveter, or retriever. I let my Retrievers go one full cycle then return. I think I get 2 full and a partial with the coveter. My hulk still kinda sucks so I do 7 to 8 cycles worth.
