Drills not drilling

HI there all -
I started up a new KSP game with the following mods.

I am also a KSP streamer and have had a couple of pretty knowledgeable peeps from the community pop in and observe this and thought that the best course of action would be to start here and see what might be able to be done.

The "role playing" part of this was that someone on Kerbin got a new telescope and saw something, they pass that information along to the KSC and they discovered something beyond the known galaxy.

[Enter Galileo Planet Pack aka secondary]

Apparently there is a known issue and that nothing can be done that at times, solar panels will attempt to track towards GPP's star vs Kerbol, not that I have Fuel Cells, not really a big problem.

Last night I had problems with a ore drill rig.
It setup correctly, there was no loss of power, no overheating and ore was being dug up just fine.  When I would switch away from it [outside of rendering range] and come back to it as the active craft, the drills were animating, but not digging.

I would have to stop and start them again and then all would be good, until again I would swap away and then swap back.

I have tried this with 2 different setups and the end result is the same.

I would be more than happy to supply anything and everything to help find the problem.

Keep in mind, I have successfully setup drill sites using MKS and stock , but this is my first time using Kopernicus and Galileo Planet Pack

I've seen the drilling problem repeatedly, it's become habit whenever I check on them to stop and start them again to make sure they're running when I leave. If you look over in the Buffalo thread, along with that problem I have an ISRU that looks like it's working in every way except no fuel gets delivered anywhere. Ore gets consumed, it says it's at operating temp, it says it has a processing load, and nada. After three days of trying to get it to work I shut it down and converted the drills to mining metal and feeding the smelter instead.
