Noticed this miner docked at a planet full of hydro. Was running with boost and remote mining on and this was not in the selected six sectors, but the planet closest to the sixth sector. There was still room to unload all hydro.

The miner has probably finished mining the 6th sector, then dumped hydro on the closest planet. With no further hydro sectors to mine it's sitting still, with remote still activated and continues to mine this sector

The miner was docked at the planet with all it's hydro on the miner. Nothing was unloaded. That was my issue.

Yes, like sab was saying, it probably finished mining it's last assigned sector....went to drop off hydrogen from the last sector onto that fire planet, (and successfully dropped off the hydro) but because there were no more assigned sectors, it stayed on the planet and mined the current sector with remote mining still active. Because the miner was already docked, it won't deliver the hydro as it's mining while docked, it would need to leave and come back, otherwise the UI would get spammed with 1 hydro delivered or whatever

It did not drop off the hydro. That is the point. It docked at a planet while hanging onto hits hydro.

Okay

did you start mining this sector before sting up its path?

The miner finished all the sectors you programmed in then went to that planet to deposit, with remote mining activated it mined the sectors hydro while sitting on the planet. It won't deposit the hydro until you make it dock at another planet or waypoint away from it's current planet and go back.
