Iron Mine Drone Automatic Selling
The Iron Mine drone now takes Metal Ore for sale when no construction site needs it. Seeing ore leave the mine for a sale destination can therefore be expected behavior in 1.0.1. Before treating a sale as a missing delivery, check every active construction request. The official note describes the fallback condition, not a configurable sale priority menu.
The field decision
The Iron Mine drone now takes Metal Ore for sale when no construction site needs it. Seeing ore leave the mine for a sale destination can therefore be expected behavior in 1.0.1. Before treating a sale as a missing delivery, check every active construction request. The official note describes the fallback condition, not a configurable sale priority menu.
Official current-build and patch facts are cited below. Suggested checks are editorial guidance; historical demo sources retain their original dates.
Quick facts
- Construction demand determines whether the sale fallback applies.
- With no ore demand, automatic sale is intentional.
- The patch does not publish an ore sale value.
- No manual priority switch is documented in the announcement.
What to record if it still happens
For iron mine drone automatic selling, keep the observation narrow: the installed version, affected object, state before the action and result afterward. A screenshot can establish a displayed requirement; a short clip is better for a routing or timing problem. Separate what you saw from what you think caused it. The checks above organize a report and do not claim to repair a save.
Walkthrough
- 01
Confirm the starting point
Look for an unfinished structure that still requests Metal Ore.
- 02
Check the relevant condition
If there is no such request, expect the drone to take ore for sale.
- 03
Make the comparison
If an eligible construction request exists, follow the construction-delivery checklist first.
- 04
Verify the outcome
Measure money changes separately from oil-barrel sales; ore sales do not establish barrel-achievement progress.
Read the system before acting
| Situation | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| No ore demand | Automatic sale fallback | Keep ore and barrel records separate |
| Older build | Patch behavior may be absent | Update before reproducing |
| Current build, same symptom | A recurrence needs new evidence | Record version and a focused clip |
| Unknown numerical value | The announcement gives no coefficient | Use measured inputs, not guessed constants |
Common mistakes
- Treating a dated source or individual report as a guarantee for every installation.
- Making a purchase or irreversible save change from a claim the cited source does not establish.
