YES - we know that Kilgore is aware of the slaves problems
YES - we know that private mines will be reworked


until then:

Whats your way to make those donkeys mine?
In me 9 mines ALWAYS 1 or 3 after 24h have 16 ores each.

my way:

take in those donkeys one by one into the mine, make them move to a desired location and then make them mine, repeat
5 to(however much slaves you have - i suggest not more than 5)

Investigating my own slave issue, I noticed the two slaves been stuck over one ore. I couldn't talk to any of them, move any, do anything, even hitting one of them didn't help. Killing one helped though, the other one got unstuck.

So this is my solution to the problem. Unless you find a script that fixes pathing, make private mines with 3 or 4 small seperate areas - 2 or 3 veins in the area. Each will contain 1 slave that will not get stuck with the other slave.

It's just my opinion though... I prefer one working slave than 2 blocked.

EDIT: It can be solved also by making large mine without possibility to interfere within working slaves - each ore must have at least 2 hexes for extraction. Or make a vein busy by one worker - a worker will choose a vein and mark it as unexisting to other slaves? Dunno. Because it looked like there was only 1 hex for distraction, and both slaves wanted to work over same vein, even being in two different places.

You can shove the blocking slave out of the way and the blocked slave will finally get free which solves the pathing problem, except for one problem: the blocked slave will probably not be queued to move at that moment so it will seem futile. This method might still work, but you might have to keep shoving the blocking slave repeatedly and hope for a moment when the blocked slave will path out of there at the same time. Sounds rough though - might take 100 tries. I dunno. That's my guess.

never had a stuck slave and i always put 2 of them inside. it seems that the stupid homos for 700 caps mine far more than the ones for 2k caps.

i put each of them in front of one of the 2 hq iron veins that are always at the same place when you buy a new mine. hope that helps
