Problems with Munar drilling

[capi3101]

Howdy all,

So, I've got an issue with a set of drills I've got on the Mun -

Not the best screenie in the world but it's the only one I've got; I'll provide a different one if it becomes necessary. The drills are on the two landers over on the left side of the screenie; those are two are identical to one another. Granted, I did take a winch off the tipped lander and stick it on the one set of drills, but this rig was acting up before that happened.

East Crater if that's relevant. 1.0.2 if that's relevant too (just haven't ever gotten around to upgrading to 1.0.4 and I probably won't given that 1.0.5 is in experimentals already).

What's happening is that with this particular set of drills, they won't continue mining if I go focus on something else and come back to them later. They do mine ore just fine when I'm present and focused on the rig. They've got plenty of power to operate, there are fuel cells on the one lander tipped on its side for night operations, there's plenty of ore present in the area. I've got a rig almost identical to this one on Minmus, and it continues drilling when I'm not around just fine.

Any ideas as to what might be happening with this particular rig? And, more to the point, what should I do to try and correct it? I don't like having to stay focused on this rig just to get it to work right.

Given that 1.0.5 is going to be out Real Soon Now, might be a good idea to just wait for that, upgrade, and then see whether you still have the issue. At least then you'll have eliminated the possibility that it could be due to running an old KSP version.

Just downloaded 1.0.5, though to see if a bug (if any) persists, I'll probably have to wait until there are compatible upgrades of all the mods I use. KIS/KAS at the minimum.
