Originally by: Keledia tl;dr extractors seem to be broken after running out, re-building the 1st extractor you select fixes them
This morning, all my extractors were finished so did another scan and selected the highest rate deposit. Clicked both submits and went onto the next extractor. Checked back on my first 1 and it said "extracting: nothing", which i thought was abit strange but just assumed i'd messed up; so i repeated the scanning and selecting....but again it failed to extract anything. I did notice that i got this error message:
"10:45:52 Notify You cannot begin exploiting the specified deposit. The facility's foreman does not appear to be answering his communicator, as he is likely out supervising the current deposit."
But that was only with the first extractor i selected. This same issue with extracting not beginning after selecting a desposit happened with all my extractors on that planet. What i assumed was that the extractor was still showing the same highest rate deposit (which i'd mined out) so selected the next 1 down. This worked on the majority, but a few i had to select the 3rd highest rate. However, the first extractor i selected on the planet still didn't work even after trying other deposits.
My only solution to the first extractor not working was simply to decomission and re-build it.
I then went to my second planet and got the same error from my first extractor that was also finished. But this time i went straight to decomissioning it and rebuilding it. This lead to my other extractors working properly after selecting a new deposit.
There appears to be a cooldown untill you can use the extractor on a new surveyed site. I ran into the same issue, went away for a bit, came back and was able to set the extractors to a new site.
There is however no cooldown timer anywhere or any UI indicator that the cooldown exists. In all honesty, I'm somewhat happy that it does exist because having to rebuild 150 mexes every 8 hours would become very, very tiring.
