Thanks for the report I'll look into this! I think I know why it's not working so I should be able to fix it for next update.

Well it wasn't for the reason I thought it was. Hand drills and fixed drills will work, but drill turrets won't. It's a technical issue with the way the game handles drill turrets specifically and it can't be fixed in a scenario. Drill turrets cannot mine custom ore blocks that use an actual model such as nuggets (ie: not a terrain texture) it seems. This would likely apply to anything else custom like Palladium and the crystals you can find on some asteroids, planets, and mining sites.

What I could do in the future is add a new block type that is specifically a new type of tungsten ore for asteroids that would be mined like the other ores, but this would take up a block ID.

I will mark this as potentially being fixed later sometime in the future. For now just use fixed drills or hand drills to mine Tungsten asteroids.

I had the same problem, but switched to salvage mode in drill turret. I could "mine" the nuggets, but I guess they where simply destroyed. No ore appeared in harvest controller. I guess the above is the explanation for that.
