Slave Troops |
It was suggested I post this in this forum as well, I am trying to create a troop that will mine planets, inhabited or otherwise.
But it seem that I can't get the slave troops to mine when placed on a colony or when placed on a ship over a colony or uninhabited planet, or from a ship in an asteroid field. My only conclussion is that units that can be loaded onto ships/planets cannot use the following abilities: Remote Resource Generation - Minerals or Mined Resource Generation - Minerals. I have attached the unit below. Is there anyway that this could be considered a bug and fixed in a future update?

Requirement 2 Description := Empire must have at least tech level 1 in Orc Technology.
Requirement 2 Formula := Get_Empire_Tech_Level("Orc Technology") >= (1 + ([%Level%] - 1))

Sorry
Ooops, should have read closer.
Mined resource generation not working is probably a bug.

True, but they SHOULD work.

Ships & Resources
The problem is that they are probably not considered in the algorithm that calculates the number of resources produced by the Empire.

Remote Mining
As I mentioned in the other thread, the problem is that you're using REMOTE mining. Remote mining is meant to mine UNINHABITED planets, and you can't put troops on an uninhabited planet.
You need another value in there, try the one from the basic mining facility.
