This is a simple probe, I know that having an engineer should speed things up but as the temperature kept rising while having enough cooling I thought that was not the issue. I tried the "fix" suggested in the bug report (UseSpecialistBonus = false) and that seems to work. Not sure if I'm now getting more then I should get but hey at least I know my probe works All that is left now it so launch some huge empty fuel tanks into orbit so I can actually store fuel and dock with the astroid

Ah, thanks! I've spend the last hour searching for mining tutorials / video's but could not find anything useful but hey this explains it! In that case I'll just need to wait, but np still enough planets to visit!

First of all this lovely screenshot: I have a probe attached to an astroid, it has the regular drill, plenty of power (retracted for screenshot purposes) and 9 medium thermal control systems. The Convert-O-Tron is not running here. Why is my drill only getting 1,5% efficiency? The wiki states I need "100kW of cooling" and 9 panels of "12500" (assuming watts here) equals 112.5kW right? So why is my drill not running at 100%? 3 cooling panels are directly attached to the fuel tank the drill is attached to, the other 6 panels are attached to a round fuselage (is it called that way?) You can also see my other probe attached, that only had 2 small thermal panels but it also stays as 1,5% (so that is why I launched the 2nd ship)
