Really happy to ear that. Thanks in advance. My goal is to create some kind of salvaging/production system that will be in parallel of the mining one. Focusing on the production of some base/station/modules players can interact with and  be settled in a system as a personnal/group assets. Lot of work in perspective but rewarding if it works. I will probably post on the mod forum a description of what i m planning to do. See you !

Not sure that copying all of the files here is the good way to go. Is there any other way to do ?

So, i ve tried this and still not working. Got the same "unlocalized" notification en top left but this time, i got it with when pointing cursor on asteroids too. As you can see, this time, the notification doesn't mention : asteroids and "unlocalized", but just "unlocalized". So i guess the game just cant figure what kind of object i'm pointing or the script can't find the correct tags or item_id to do the job. At the end of the day, i got no clue of what is going on

So, here's where i am, i've modified a few things in the following files. Created a new script for the salvaging device based on the mining device.

Hi,
Thanks for responding and yes. I cant see a tag on asteroids too... and i dunno if simply add a tag will do the trick. Maybe adding "mineable" on debris... maybe... will try this evening and post the result here.

Hi guys,

Fairly new to modding and i'm trying to learn/do some basic stuff. I'm considering giving some extractable ressources to debris floating in space. Before granting them differents ressources and quantity, i'm focusing on giving the asteroid miner (the civilian one) the possibility to "mine" debris. So i modified all the xml file of debris (debris barrel, solar panel etc) in the following way :

When trying to do so in game, i have the following notification on the top left of the screen : http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/610604005651531581/BC3397265173812EEA79F007B85B1A55F8C0DA8F/ (http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/610604005651531581/BC3397265173812EEA79F007B85B1A55F8C0DA8F/)

So any idea what can i do to fix this ? Thanks in advance !

Problem solved.
