Components stuck in collectors of grinding ship and on station

[What Zitt Tooya]

I made a grinding ship and started dismantling stolen pirate ships. When I dock with my base, the connector on my grinding ship fills up and the the connector of the station fills up and isn't automatically moving the components into the large cargo container. (which has plenty of space left)

The settings of both connectors of default. (i.e., Throw Out - Off, Collect All - Off)

When I dock with my mining ship, ores have no problems moving, it seems to be just components that are getting stuck. Can they not move through connectors?

Here is my setup

Hi, I always use a Sorter to empty my ship.

1 - Sorter placed on the container port I want my stuff to go in.

2 - Add the "Stuff" in sorter "Whitelist" and check the box "Drain ALL".

= That will empty my ship in one second :

Oh! and I always create a IN and a OUT because we can't take out from the Sorter side that is set on "Drain ALL".

To rephrase the post above: Small grid ships have TWO different sizes of conveyor ports. Large ports (which you can find on the ends of the Medium Cargo container and on the underside of the standard cockpit and connector) and small ports. Small ports are what you find on the Mining Drill, the back of the standard cockpit, and on three sides of the small grid version of the Large Cargo container.

The larger ports will allow everything through, including "really big" items like oxygen bottles and steel plates. The smaller connectors will allow a tiny selection of components, as well as all ores and gases. It is possible that your ship has a bottleneck at some point where the conveyor network is using the smaller connectors. This will work fine for a mining ship, and probably not well at all for a welding ship.

You need an unbroken network of the larger ports between the connector on your ship and the cargo containers and welders / grinders. The simplest way to check is just to use a "big" item like an oxygen bottle and try to manually drag it from one inventory to another inside your ship. If you can't move it into something, then that block is using the small connectors and you'll have to fix it somehow.
