"No Ground Con(trol)"

[Enkiel]

So i finally landed my base on the mun, but now, when i tried to start the drill, it says "No ground con" (which i assume is control).

Edit (wow, i forgot the question!)

so, um, what's missing?

I'd say it means no ground connection, probably not close enough or you actually have to be anchored using a grabbing unit. I haven't gotten to that point yet though.

Its ground contact. It means the drill is not low enough to begin mining. It should be noted that the drills have to go fairly deep into the ground, not just barely pierce the surface, to actually work, which is partly why they extend so far.

EDIT : thinking about it... is there a way to move the drill on my ship? i though engineer could do something like that, but i can't find it on the wiki....

Lower any landing legs if you have them.

IIRC parts cant be moved in stock
