I found a Gas Giant planet outside of Sol with 280,000,000 sorium. I built a fleet of fuel harvesters and sent them there. I put a small automated mining colony on a nearby planet with no pop to be a fuel base for the harvesters to dump their fuel load when full and to do some mining (it has a lot of minerals). I set only a conditional order of Condition: Fuel tanks full Orders: Unload Fuel at Colony and Move to Sorium Gas Giant. The system is a Trinary with Star systems A and B both surveyed. C has not been surveyed as it is just too far out at the moment for my ships ( mean distance 6000 on the system generation screen. Just what does that distance mean? AU's?) There are only 2 gas Giants that have sorium, both in B and I have my harvester fleet at one of them.
The fleet does fill up with fuel. At 100% full -Event: Conditional Order "Fuel Harvester Group has been given conditional orders to unload 90% fuel at Not Found and move to a gas giant with Sorium" It does move to my colony and drop off the fuel. Next Event: Orders Completed: "Fuel harvester Group has completed orders" but it has never moved back to the gas giant. I have to move it back manually. I waited for several turns to see if the fleet would move.
Am I missing some orders? Or is it confused on which gas giant to go to? And why does it list the colony as Not Found yet goes there to dump the fuel?
