Sorter question

[Helios]

I have a sorter set up for my mining drone so all ores go to my base. My problem is PAM wants my hydrogen tanks full and with the sorter only the on board O2 gens will fill up the hydrogen tanks. The problem is this is really slow. My question is how can I get hydrogen in my tanks from my base through the sorter?

Not sure if sorters stop power from filling batteries either but it seems pretty slow so if you can explain that to me too that would be of great help!

Sorts don't stop power only gases from a certain direction and items flagged up. Now the tank might be slow if you are using a 02/h2 gen as they take a while with the capacity.

You can shut off the opposite tank (turn off the o2 tank for example) and double the rate of production. Or if you already have a stockpile in your base, set your ships tank to stockpile and the bases one to normal and it will pull the gas from the base.

You may add a sorter in the opposite direction with only the things you want to get in your ship. Maybe a whitelist with nothing (so that only hydrogen can move)? I haven't tired it, though.

Hi, all connected O2/H2 Gens will refill the O2 or H2 tanks if they are conveyor connected.

Note
-> The Hydrogen/Oxygen will refill faster the more O2/H2 Generators you will add.

Also, like frag2k4 said, power is not affected by Sorter, we just need connectors or rotor head locked to recharge batteries.

I just create separate conveyor lines, one espacially made to empty the connected ship and one for the Hydorgen.

How to empty a ship in seconds - Example :

>> Transfer all to a Station Container <<

1 - Sorter placed on the container port I want your "Stuff" to go in.

2 - Add the "Stuff" in sorter "Whitelist" with "Drain ALL" ON.

= That will empty your connected ship in a few seconds :
