Conveyors Randomly Stopping

[Grimm Spector]

I have a line of conveyors about 10 long and then 3 verticals at the end, when I run them the first 3 always run, and the rest sometimes stop randomly, and stay stopped for a good amount of time, maybe 10-20 seconds, then start moving again. The pipe feeding them has 100% pressure, so I don't know what the heck is going on,m any help?

I'm genuinely confused how you're having so many problems I've never run into. Like, I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, it's just... I've never run into these problems at all and you seem to have a new one every 5 minutes lol.

Even though you may have 100% pressure , the machines on the network may be taking to much pressure off of the system.

Keep in mind that machines and pipes take a x% of pressure away. :-)

Right? It's killing me.

Impossible, they are LITERALLY the only thing on the network and the last three pipes before them are a pressure gauge to check and the two pressure tanks to amp up the pressure.

if some of the old problems are still around, it sounds exactly like you have a cork in the system somewhere. Find the first conveyor not working properly (seems like it would be number 4), pick it up, and I'd bet the one before it (the last one that works) has a cork in the pipe. A bunch of us had the same issue in the last version.

I'd be surprised if this doesn't fix it.

Well ♥♥♥♥, there was a stray cork. You'd think that would just stop it entirely, but instead sometimes the water gets through it and sometimes it doesn't. That's pretty weird.

Called it, lol.

It took me so long to find out when I had the same issue, it wasn't on the bugs list. Then someone else posted the same question here, a third answered, and I tried their solution. Random cork I had missed somehow. A few others have had it since but its always the same, and now you know how to diagnose a random cork too. Welcome to the club.

Glad I could help.

Filtr gdy sie popsuje (osiagnie zerowa wytrzymalosc) zatrzymuje doplyw wody na jakis czas. Moze to ten problem.

I dont have a cork in my system and it always stops after 3 conveyors very annoying

@Prizim: did you check the small red control wheel at the third conveyor? there you can stop water piping to the next conveyor. i don't know if the state is saved even after pickung up the conveyor and new placing.

I just learned this and it makes corks useless for conveyors lol.

What we really need now though is a T conveyor!

[Munki]

When some conveyors work then after a certain point they don't:
If they work intermittently it's a cork
If they don't work at all it's a red valve

Just had the intermittent cork issue. Thanks for the help!
