Mining Not Working

Android - Samsung Galaxy A50

Hello there, i'm currently having an issue with mining. I can get the mining drones (3) normally, and then deploy the mining drones. But when i click complete mission nothing happens. The mining drone item gets used, but there's no indicator of it being in progress anywhere whatsoever. Not on the galaxy map, and not on the left top side when you click on the system. Haven't been able to get my silicon for a while now, but someone told me to send it here

[misty axle]

Is there a way i could perhaps get silicon?

Out of curiosity, if you go to the planet with mission "mining 101" (or 102 I forget) can you get more drones from the guy or does he tell you that you already have 3?

[misty axle]

The one on tou ceti for me
I can get 3 at max

He says some random dialogue that i forgot about already having em

[ebon turtle]

Okay, so he says you currebtly have them but you don't have them in inventory and can't retrieve them from galaxy map?

[misty axle]

oh no no.
I can get them normally from the person
3 at max
They appear in my inventory
I cant get more then 3 or he complains at something damn cheapskate
I can go to all of the mining spots and start a mission

Everything works as it does normally besides the part when i finish placing it down

it does use the mining drone

but it just acts like nothing ever happend

[ebon turtle]

Oh okay, so it places but then disappears and you can't retrieve the resources? Does the drone magically appear back in your inventory, or what happens?

[misty axle]

So:
I start the mission for it
I complete it
A mining drone dissapears from my inventory
When i go to the system where i completed the mission for it, there is no indicator of me mining there.

When the time runs out of what it normally is nothing happens either

Nothing to claim nor do i get a drone back

[ebon turtle]

Okay, so after that the drone is just gone. Do you still have 3 drones in inventory? Or have all of them disappeared at this point?

There is a known bug where they occaisonally disappear like you are describing, but going back to the mining 101 planet allows you to get them back.

But it sounds like yours are just disappearing and can't get more from mining planet either?

[misty axle]

Only 1 dissapears

Everything just works like it normally would-
A mining drone is used (1 goes away from the inventory. I dont get it back, but i can always get more. Max of 3)
BUT
There is no indicator of me mining at the place where i did the mission. Not at the side nor the little drill on the system.

I cant mine stuff

because when i try to the mining drone just dissapears and nothing gets mined, no drill nor the time at the top left if you click on the system

[ebon turtle]

Hmm yeah idk. Have you tried mining at a different planet?

When you go through the mission do you click quickly or have you tried going slowly giving the server a couple seconds to think after it visually looks like ir has finished loading each step? I find going too quickly is often what causes bugs like this. But yours sounds worse than ones I've experienced.

[misty axle]

I have at a few yes

I dont, ill give it a go. Usually i just spam click lol

[misty axle]

I didnt work unfortunatly

[ebon turtle]

Ah dang, sorry idk then. Hopefully the devs see this and can help

[misty axle]

I hope so, thanks for the help anyways though
