Hello to everyone!
As a noob player, I'm currently facing a big fuel shortage in my empire. I do have some colony with sorium, but I would like to expand my harvesting operations by using the 44 milion tons of Sorium located at Saturn.
I've built a little Fuel Harvester just to learn to use it, here it is:
Nero class Fuel Harvester 100 000 tons 390 Crew 2222 BP TCS 2000 TH 1500 EM 0
750 km/s Armour 1-191 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0
MSP 14 Max Repair 75 MSP
Intended Deployment Time: 120 months Spare Berths 0
Cargo 25000 Cargo Handling Multiplier 25
Fuel Harvester: 20 modules producing 1120000 litres per annum
Aquila Turbines 300 EP Commercial Ion Drive (5) Power 300 Fuel Use 7. 96% Signature 300 Exp 5%
Fuel Capacity 8 750 000 Litres Range 197. 9 billion km (3053 days at full power)
This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
Now, the problem is: both in the wiki and in some post here in the forum people says that, to use this, you have to move it to a gas giant with Sorium, then activate the conditional orders
- Fuel Tanks Full
- Unload Fuel at Colony and move to Sorium Gas Giant
I tryed, both by parking it near sarurn THEN activating the orders, and by activating the orders BEFORE leaving earth, but in every case the harvester just move to saturn and simply stays there, giving the message "Harvester fuel tanks 90% full".
What am I doing wrong here?
