Then try stacking the again.
What editor are you using? If you're using SCMDraft, then select the unit, right click, and select "stack selected", then input a #.
If you use Starforge, then right click and select "stack".

Attach the map?

Make sure the minerals are owned by P12. If there is a different one, miners will not search for a new mineral patch. They all stick at the one, that you order them.

Mineral Patches for other than P12 only appear in the editor, not ingame.

Check the shadow ingame. If its solid black then you have stacked 5 or more and your workers will choose another patch as soon as they return from their first mining.

If there's only a normal shadow you have only 1 mineral stacked. In this case mark all patches in the editor and switch to P12.

In future place 1 patch for P12 and choose "stack selected" from the right click menu to avoid this.

What are you talking? ^^ Look at this pic. Left P1, right P12

I talk of this (attachment).
Obviously there are some tricks or cases in which is does not appear.
But I already had that problem, so don't tell me the message is an editor bug.

EDIT: Lawl, I looked into it, and its so obvious: the minerals don't appear when the player which they are placed for isn't playing. ;)

I know that when the workers are on a lower elevation than the minerals they mine one at a time.
