Description

When assigning action groups, the two Drill-o-Matic mining drills are missing the 'deploy' and 'retract' actions.

Once in flight, they can be deployed/rectacted from the part menu, but for craft with multiple drills this is rather annoying.

In previous versions these actions were there and worked as expected.

Drill-O-Matic Junior drill has the same problem.

It can be fixed by removing "displayActions = false" from config files.

It was indeed the "displayActions = false" parameter in the drills cfg.
Previous versions of the game didnt have this parameter specified, which is true by default.

I removed it from both drills and should get it fixed, thanks for pointing it out!

In addition to the part config, version 1.3 saves introduced another problem.

In PART name = RadialDrill
.MODULE name = ModuleAnimationGroup
.ACTION
.ToggleModuleAction

...there exists a value for actionGroup and a value for active which is set to false. Prior to 1.3, the active property was not included in the saves, and continues to interfere with older ships created before 1.3. Removing this line restores functionality to these actions.

As of the 1.4.0 release, and possibly 1.3.1, the original problem reported in this bug was fixed. I can't say for certain about older save game files being updated accordingly (with regard to the "actionGroup" values) as I have restarted my game with 1.4.0 but I think it's safe to say this bug can be closed out. Though I could move the status to "Resolved", I'm not one of the developers working on the project and don't feel it would be my place to do so, but I can make that recommendation.
