Why does a robo mining base not mine??

Robo miners will NOT mine colonised planets. That's your problem. (BTW, this is intentional, not a bug)

You implied that one of your stations is producing resources above a colonised planet- you'll probably find that that planet has uncolonised moons and/ or asteroid fields in the same sector. This is what's being mined.

Case closed in 28 minutes. Why can't I be this efficient at work?

Probably 'coz I'm on this forum all day...

If your colonized planet has a moon or two, you can use robo-miners to mine them even if the planet is colonized...and with two moons, you pick up twice the amount.

Spoogy / Kwok: Glad to see someone else taking advantage of UBB's graphics facility BTW. Only you, me and BearClaw so far, I think.

Here's a link for all you non-graphical wusses=-)
UBB forum codes.

Actually, it looks like I have to clean up the transparency a little bit...oh well...I'll do it sometime eventually.

Me too, but my sig is too long to use everywhere
