Anything else?

I've tried to fire/rehire. I've run the reload command on the citizen. I've fired, emptied inventory and rehired. Nether miner hut is wooden level 4

The worker does walk around the area also, they just happened to be jumping up and down beside their rack at that particular time.

As additional info (not sure if this is related to the issue or not): The portal tag exists on the wooden nether mine, the vault tag does not.
According to the discord conversation, they don't actually go into the nether, but just "stand besides their racks and jump up and down"

Just upgraded Nether miner to level 5. Still doing the same thing.

What does the nether miner (the citizen) have in their inventory?

Here is the workers inventory:

Here is the rack in the hut:

The hut block itself doesn't have anything.

Ok, that looks like you don't have all the supplies for the trip. I'd suggest clearing the ladders and torches out, and letting them re-request.

Also for reference, here is a screenshot of the tags:

It's the lack of the vault tag. PR with fix was already made

If you look in the hut recipes, it will show you what is necessary for it to go. I believe it's ladders, torches, and cobblestone.

I have cleared everything out of their inventory and had them request it all again. It didn't help. Tell me what they are missing...

What is "PR" and where do I get it?

its fixed in dev. just needs to be added to the mod

Already added

The wooden nether miner has got a vault (and its roof and framed blocks) in 1.0.562

The vault is not required for the netherminer to function, as far as I can tell from the code. There is something else going on here, I think.

@SerranoPancake Could you try again on 1.0.562?

Before updating to 1.0.562 I gave the netherminer a stack of ladders and they went right to work. Even after emptying their inventory and having them request required resources again, they still did not have enough ladders. I triple checked the requests and never saw a request for more ladders. Not sure what the "vault" tag does so I can't speculate on whether it had anything to do with the issue, but the netherminer has been working ever since

Ah, so it seems that they don't properly request ladders?
The vault tag is something which is needed/good to have for when the nether miner is in the nether

@MotionlessTrain I suspect it's requesting ladders just fine now. I've seen cases when I was writing the netherminer where it would get a partial delivery, and never ask for more, but once you manually filled the gap, it would recover and work just fine for quite a while.

As for the vault tag, as now proven the netherminer works just fine without it, as was the design. It was added to be able to move the invisible netherminer somewhere that other mods couldn't reveal it and that was 'safe'. Without the vault tag, the miner just stands inside the portal invisible, but not invulnerable.

Interesting that they can get stuck on a partial request like that.

You seemed to be right indeed. I'm glad that it is now clear that that wasn't the issue.

So, having ladders, but not enough is the issue?

Yes, even though they didn't have enough, they were not requesting anymore. Once I supplied them with the needed amount, they continued working.

No vault tag, no working. That's the problem Sent from ProtonMail mobile

I thought the vault tag wasnt entirely needed

No, as explained by Mekle above. I have the feeling something went wrong at Github, and this message was pending for quite a while. I have seen several email responses at (closed) old issues at roughly the same time.
