Core Mining fragments error....

[hems303]

Hi all Miners
Me and my squadron are having major problems core mining. We have all 'Validated Game Files' to no avail in curing the following problem/bug.

When core mining; the mining fragments are seen on the surface but when abrasion blasted off they just VANISH...poof..gone...

or... you abrade the fragment and it just deselects as a fragment but graphically still appears fixed to the core chunk.. but is no longer 'abradable'!

..any help/suggestions much appreciated. o7

I mine a lot and have never seen that problem, I am on PC.

What are you playing on? It may be a platform specific problem.

Or it may be related to playing in a squadron, try playing for a short while as a single miner and see if the problem persists.

Also not seen this before.

Does it do this for all fragment types?
If not all types, has the fragment type been added to your "ignore list." ( would account for them vanishing from radar)
Do fragments appear / disappear from the contacts list?
Any screen shots ?

" or... you abrade the fragment and it just deselects as a fragment but graphically still appears fixed to the core chunk.. but is no longer 'abradable'!"

I can't really account for this other than as a bug unless perhaps subsurface and surface deposits are being confused somehow?

Hope you get it sorted.

I think this was an issue many months/maybe a year ago, where abrasion blasters just didn't make a fragment to mine but did update the spot so the game considered it "mined".
I also believe FDev fixed that since I recall that happening to me at the time but now does not.
Think a "work-around" at the time was to use abrasion blasters first on a rock before any other mining tool/with core roids just crack them then blast the fragments since if you tried to do anything else to the rock before-hand(abrasion/sub-surface/laser?) would cause the bug to happen.

EDIT.
Something like this is it? If so that work-around MIGHT work, good luck!

Abrasion blaster not working

Hey commanders. I was mining for some Tritium and found a nice rocks with Ltds and brommelite. After cracking them open, my abrasion blaster could not free chunks from the cracked asteroid. The abrasion blaster works well on normal asteroid surface deposits but not on the cracked ones. T

All squadron members are on powerful PC's. The occurrence is intermittent but definitely an annoying bug.

Only fragments from Icy Rings. (so far). Definitely only the surface fragments exposed on popping a core, LTD's, Vo's, Alexandrite etc etc.

Yup! Looks like this 'fixed' bug is on the way back!
