First Minmus Miner not producing ore <Answered>

[scola_p]

Hi All,

For the first time in KSP I have stuck with a career game and got as far as mining. So I did my research, read the help and re-purposed my first Minmus base design to some mining. So I have accepted a mission to  take 1050 ore from Minmus and pop it into Kerbin orbit.

As you can see, I have power, radiators, Ore tanks and ISRU.

But when I fire up the drill, it says "Ore Full" even though have 1200 spare capacity.

Any ideas on what has gone horribly, horribly wrong? 

 

Thanks,

Hm, that pic isn't enough to be sure. The only things I can think are:

1. Your ore tanks are actually full. You don't show the ship resources window so I can't tell for sure. I put it here just for completeness.
2. Your ore tanks are disabled. They'll have little red Xs next to the slider-like bar that shows how full they are if this is the case.
3. A mod has modified the way ore tanks work or something like that. I can't help you there.
4. You've found a bug

I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of right now.

And they were disabled.

Who knew that they would be off by default!

Thanks for your help!!

No problem! Though they're not off by default in stock. Either you accidentally disabled them at some point, or maybe there was some weird mod interaction that did it.
