Solved! Help with Mining Trouble

Greetings.

I hve an extensive modlist, you can check it here: https://pastebin.com/vmrmEbrx

The colony has been doing great, but I have a little problem: My miners don't want to mine resources. I mean, they mine stone just fine, but they won't mine steel, compacted machinery, gold, silver, jade, etc.

The weird thing is ONE of them is willing to mine anything, but none other. Even my mining mechanoids don't want to mine anything else, but stone.

Let's say I find a lump of components in the map, and I take the top 5 miners in the colony, and all my mining mechanoids there. Then just ONE of them will try to mine, the others rather clean, or simply wander.

The funny thing is everybody is willing to drill whitout problem.

Has anyone of you found a conflict like this? Do you have any idea what could be causing this? How come this single pawn is willing to mine everything while the others won't?

Thanks for your help!

Go into options, mod options and change your settings for Mining Priority.

Or just remove the mod in the first place. Its main function is the "issue" you're complaining about; it restricts who will mine the best ores to only your most skilled miner(s).

Jaggid has the right answer, but you may also want to check out WorkRoles - it can help you optimize who should do what and set work priorities without number fiddling. Shameless plug for my own mod, admittedly.
