Blast Miner/Smelter possible bug

[g00ner7175]

Has anyone else suffered from this issue that I am having - I laid my blast miners and smelters to start manufacturing iron slabs - it all works fine however when all the miners are full of ore and smelters full of slabs it continues to blast away using charges even though it is no longer producing the materials as there is nowhere for them to go due to machines being full.

If anyone has suffered from this is there a workaround for it as currently I am wasting all my charges.

Thanks

Have not had that issue. Any bugs we do have we are stuck with since the devs said no more work on this game. Suggestion take your charges out of of the system until you need them again.

Thanks - yeah thought that might be the case - I have put a break in the conveyors until I need more slabs.

It's not the charges you should be worrying about, as those you can make unlimited numbers of.
You are wasting ore.... and there really is no work around.

I never liked finite resources. I was happy when they added the option for persistent nodes,

Iirc blast drills continuing blowing charges when full/when ore Voxels are gone is intended.

Making sure that the items harvested get drained is done easily anyway. (without replacing a drill, they can collect up to 81k chunks when using multiblast 5,thats less than 2 mk1 containers)

Of course this is not a bug, the whole point of these blast miners is to force you to be thoughtful about I/O at all times. Otherwise you get penalized, in the form of wasting charges.

There was an intended feature to allow 'limiters' to be placed. Like filters and such
But because the devs abandoned the game it never got realized.
