whenever i load a profile for grindbot it repeatedly says ''loading tiles, downloading mesh, loading tiles,... ect'' over and over again. the bot does not start up a few seconds after i press start, like quest-bot and archaeology-bot do.
How long are you letting in load?. That's what the bot does when you don't have the mesh for that area.
Delete your mesh folder and creat a new one. That should fix the problem if it's stuck there.
