How to remove stone from cargo?
So after patch ejector shoot supersonic nuclear stone leading to masive explosions like 1km3 crater.
How do i get rid of things from my cargo ?

p.s. the amount is way to high to do it manually and i need it to be cleaning up constantly.

create a conveyor sorter that whitelists stone followed by a ejector.

Or use a mod like my stone crusher.
I like to have a single sorter leading to an array of ejectors or connectors, depending on grid size. I whitelist stone, set them all to pull and eject, and group the whole thing together as a single mechanism I can turn on and off. Just make sure you know where the stone is likely to land.

This. Btw, afaik the ejectors are only available for small grids, so to get rid of stone on a large ship you'll need to use regular connectors instead.

Make sure that the only way to the "throwout" connector is through the conveyor sorter, then set the material you want to be gone as whitelisted, set the connector to "collect all" and "throw out" and watch your ship poop rock ;)

I never bother with it on small grids, it's more of a refinery thing(something I build onto the refinery). Same setup as described above. Make sure It doesn't hit your base or ships by piping it some distance from your structures and ejecting it in a direction not likely to interfere with your vessels and structures. If the stone is doing too much damage still, consider turning down the max number of allowable objects(or increasing the number of connectors that eject the stone), that way the stone may even be deleted before it gets to hit the ground.

Since nobody reads i repeat myself:
ejectors DONT WORK after patch for me.

Like i wrote, use a regular connector then. Set it to "collect all" and "eject all", then it works just like an ejector.
