Workaround
ROC mining arm does not move after entering mining mode
Tracked since 21 Aug 2026 · Last researched 21 Aug 2026
Problem
The Greycat ROC mining arm does not move after entering mining mode in Alpha 4.9.x LIVE.
This is the arm-control state, not the separate problem where successfully mined ROC gems or minerals cannot be sold.
Applies to Alpha 4.9.x LIVE · Current
Best current action
Target a minable rock, then press G
Try this first.
It takes seconds and does not interrupt mining.
What to do
- Enter the ROC mining mode.
- Target a highlighted minable rock.
- Press G to enter gimbal mode and check whether the arm moves.
Current results are mixed, with no independent reproduction or repeatability established.
Other options
Cycle ROC power and mining mode
Use this only if target-plus-G fails; it takes longer because it interrupts mining.
Steps
- Exit ROC mining mode.
- Turn the ROC off and on.
- Re-enter mining mode and check the arm.
The current sequence is not isolated, and the other positive report is historical.
What not to try
Change gimbal or tracking modes
Do not spend time cycling gimbal, tracking, free-look, or head-tracking modes first. In the current failure state, those changes left the arm static.
