All conveyors turned red and will not work

[Titanium Jesus]

Converted moon station to a ship and went to space. Everything was fine and then all of a sudden all conveyors on all grids (Only when attached to the base turned ship, after detaching the connectors the conveyors work on the sub grids again) of all sizes stopped working, turned red, and will not return to functionality. They are all connected properly, proven by the fact they were working before and allot of them were there on world generation and working, the ship is turned on, there is thousands of times more power available than needed to power the ship right now, and there is no damage to any sections of any conveyors or grids where the conveyors are located.

Working fine, then simply not. Not even rebuilding the tubes is fixing the problem. Please help.

edit:

Got into the control seat and even though I have 2 large reactors each with over 4K uranium and all machines are powered fully no problem the power reading is showing over max at 100%, yet the reactors are only producing like 2 MW out of 300 and the batteries on station are not depleting. Turning off machines also does not change the power draw reading.

Do you have batteries? Or anything else that might draw a lot of power?

Did you press "Y" and turn a bunch of stuff off without realizing it? Y turns everything off but pressing Y again doesn't always turn things back on.

There are something like a dozen full batteries and all blocks are on. Another note I just discovered. even while red, the conveyors are at least transporting components to their storage container and being passed to the construction ship as normal, however ammo will not be passed, nor will ores and I don't know if the components could be transferred through all the conveyors. Ice right now will not transfer to the o2 generators to fill the hydrogen tanks for example and the turrets can't get ammo.

Have you gone over every single conveyor block in the system? Maybe one got damaged somehow. If it's all the same conveyor system one block being damaged will shut it all down. If there's a break somewhere in the line power after where the break is won't be shared past the one that's broken. It could have been damaged from using the connector. Check everything connected to the conveyor system if you haven't. Everything.

That was the first thing I did but even if there was a break somewhere the conveyor lines on other sections of the ship wouldn't be affected let alone the small subgrids connected only via connectors. Once the small ships detach they become fine, then upon reconnecting get borked again.

Have you checked the thruster placement for the ship? It's possible you have a thruster too close to one of the conveyor system blocks, and it's damaging it. That shouldn't turn the lights red though, red always means "No power." A thruster burning through the blocks and breaking the line should cause the ones "downstream" to turn yellow.

If the lights are turning red, I'm pretty sure it means that you've hit the 'Y' key and shut down the energy grid somehwere. When you dock your small ships, you aren't by any chance hitting 'Y' to turn them off and save power are you?

Edit: Re-reading your most recent post. When you say conveyors, do you mean conveyor tubes / blocks (Straight and corner conveyor tubes, or conveyor junction) or do you mean "Conveyor Sorter" blocks, the ones with the > marking on four sides? I ask because items aren't visible when moving through conveyor tubes at all, they just instantly move from one storage location to another as long as there is an unbroken tube network connecting them.

A screenshot of the problem would be helpful, I think?

Tubes and corner tubes. Sorters are fine.

screenshots by link only as the forum refuses to allow me to actually put the images into my posts...

As you can see, the entire ship is using 1/300th of the reactor's output yet treats it as having reached more than 100% of the reactor's output, yet all machines run fine and are green. Only conveyor tubes are affected.

Still broken

Hi, you could publish your world on the Workshop so the Veterans can try, also should send that save with a short description of the problrem directly to the SE programmer so he can have a look at this bug.

I recommend to create a copy of your world, use the "save as" feature, change the save name to create a copy and load that copy in creative mode for testing.

I always delete the "not working" blocks to fix so that is a thing you could try if it the conveyors don't come back On.

Note
I will not be able to test game bugs for a few days because my PC just died

[Titanium Jesus]

How do i send it to the programmers?

[Dan2D3D]

SE programmer =

Email > [e-mail]

Support Portal > https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/general

(it's in the pinned green messages)

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! I forgot

Just add the link to your Workshop item in your description of the problem =


Sorry for double post.

[Titanium Jesus]

thanks. found out they won't work in creative either. posting world shortly..

Could this be a problem?

No, that is part of the bug. I have already stated that the station is only using 1/300th total reactor potential.

The problem is this:
https://prnt.sc/quusdk

You just need more batterys.
Go into creative and plant like 11 batterys and everything works again.

Works fine now.
