When I have my freighter pick up automated mines at earth it only picks up one. What's the problem here?

How many cargo holds does the freighter have? It may only be able to fit one.

So I finally installed it.
How do I use the smaller screen version?

Once you create a game go to Game Parameters -> Reduced Height Windows

I probably need to update it some more than >.<

That is why, normal installations like mines take 5 holds each to carry. Slap 3 more on there and you'll carry off 2. I don't know if it will do partial bits like it will with research labs... labs take 25 holds to carry altogether but you can do them in small units so each freighter with 5 holds carries 0.2 of the lab.

Update what? The install instructions are fairly straightforward and simple.

It isn't if you don't read everything
EDIT: ''This can ONLY be applied to version 5.40 or v5.41'' is what I didn't read lat time I tried to update it so it crashed. now it worked ^^

I'm pretty sure it does partial for all others, its kinda messy in my opinion, so I usually have my freighters built with 5s in cargo.

Uhm, how do I boost my game speed aside from setting the priority to high?

I do multiples of 5 as well, to avoid that issue. That's why I wasn't certain on partial mines and other installations. I know terraformers and labs do it though, because they're massive. My new freighters each have 30 holds though, which lets me carry a lot more.

Sometimes when I try to open a window, like the economy window right now, it loads but it never pulls up and if I try to pull it up manually nothing happens.

I've never seen that behavior personally, seems very strange.

I got that with missile design windows sometime, when they load up out of my screeen. Really weird.
