Diagnose Drills

Diagnose and Fix Drills

Use this skill when drills are not working properly.

Quick Diagnostic

Run the diagnostic script:

pnpm --prefix /Users/golergka/Projects/factorio-agent eval:file /Users/golergka/Projects/factorio-agent/agent-workspace/lua/diagnose-and-fix-drills.lua

What the Diagnostic Checks

• status=1: Working normally
• status=21: Waiting for target (not on resource)
• status=34: No minable resources OR output full
• status=53: No fuel - needs coal!
• status=54: No power (shouldn't happen with burner drills)

Common Fixes

1. No fuel (status 53): Walk to drill and add coal using safe_insert
2. Output full (status 34): Clear output inventory with safe_take
3. No resources: Drill is depleted, needs to be moved

Manual Fix Example

dofile("/Users/golergka/Projects/factorio-agent/agent-workspace/lua/safe-interact.lua")

local drill, msg = find_nearest("burner-mining-drill", 100)
rcon.print(msg)

if drill then
    local result, err = safe_insert(drill, {name="coal", count=10})
    if result then
        rcon.print("Added fuel!")
    else
        rcon.print("Need to walk closer: " .. err)
    end
end

Remember: If distance check fails, you must WALK to the drill first!
