Trash Trap not working?

[Jouquer]

I'm using 4 trash traps on the ceiling of my ship, but not of them are collecting anything. I connected them by pairs to one Battery (so 2 traps to 1 battery), and the battery to a solar panel and they are spinning just fine. Am I doing anything wrong?

I've got a couple of bugs around this, I'm trying to solve the problem

Are these still broken ? and is there an eta on a fix ?

Can you see the sun? the solar panels don't work if the sun isn't visible. So if the sun is behind the planet then they don't produce power to charge the battery with. and no power means the traps wont work either. The batteries drive me nuts in this game you should be able to attach more then one input into the battery. So when the solar panels cant see the sun to produce power you can still charge the battery using a generator without having to disconnect the panel and connect the generator.

I have this same issue. I had them working earlier in the game, but decided to make my base/craft larger. After expansion, I can't get any Trash Traps to work on any level, solar or generator.

Interesting, for me they work too good. After turning one on in 5 seconds it filled with stacks of food and rubber (64 of each type of food, 64 rubber)

I find it funny that this post keeps getting new comments from time to time, haven't played the game in more than a year

I had one trap that was filling up in seconds. Later on, after emptying the trap several times, the trap no longer collected anything. Later on after that, it would collect only a few items.

I got the feeling it collected everything within several km and then had nothing left to collect.

Two years have passed and the trap has not been fixed!

Same issue. Also drones stop working after expansion. and you can't charge them because the base is always in motion...
