Hi.
I have a small sorium harvesting fleet which I want to harvest from Jupiter. So I, obviously, send them to Jupiter and give them the orders 'Move to Gas Giant with sorium' and the conditional 'Tanks full unload at colony'.
Obviously I am rather simple minded, and to me it would seem obvious that they would start harvesting Sorium from Jupiter (and yes, Jupiter has 6 mil+ of Sorium, accessibility 0.7). But ooohhhh no, my Fleet have other idea's and instead decide to head to Uranus to harvest Sorium (500k Sorium at accessibility 0.9)
See attached screenshot.
So, is this normal, will they always head to the highest accessibility rather than the nearest source. The reason it's annoying is I have colonies on Io and Europa, plus missile defenses, etc etc already at Europa, so my Miners would be nice and safe at Jupiter. At Uranus I have nothing, and no incentive to put or build anything there either.
Is there a way round this or do I just have to live with it??
Thanks
