Unloading cargo - Issue

[Zen]

I have a connector linked to my refinery - I have been transferring ores from my ship connector to the refinery connector with no problem. Then all of a sudden, It no longer transfers. Its not full and I have tried to find the problem but can't seem to.. Please help?

Sounds like a reboot may be in order...

If you've already done that, then double check both connector settings and make sure that neither of them is set to 'trade'.

[Zen]

Hmmm... I will recheck settings. it is connector to connector... a connector on the ship to connector on the refinery. Ugh im baffled

[Zen]

I tried connecting to my cargo container and the ship doesn't transfer to that either?

Hi Zen,
a lot is already auto but I always place a Sorter on the Cargo port I want all to move in.

Take advatage of the following Basic setup :

1 - Place the Sorter on the Cargo port
2 - Set that Sorter on "Drain all" + add the ores or stone or else to its Whitelist.

Always better to move all to the "Cargo Room" first and connect all the other blocks on the other yellow ports of the Cargo room so on the other side and they will take what they need automatically from that "Cargo Room".

Some setup just need to add stone or specific ore to the Sorter Whitelist without having to enable "Drain All".

Example on a mining ship that eject stone and collect Uranium into its Cargo :

1 - Sorter 1 on green connector set to Whitelist Stone.

2 - Sorter 2 on blue Cargo set to Whitelist Uranium.

3 - Green connector set to "Throw out".

Eject stone and collect Uranium.

Thank you Dan this is very helpful. I tried my other ship (with stone) and it is working fine.

My first ship (that isn't unloading) has silver ore. Don't know if that is making a difference or not. I'm confused by this lol.

[Zen]

I will try your suggestion with a sorter now.

[Dan2D3D]

I will add :

the "Drain All" feature on the Sorter is a must to be able to empty connectors because those keep their inventory by default.

Please can you help Dan - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008222234

I cant figure out why it isn't working

[Dan2D3D]

You still can't transfer ?

Have you enabled "Trade" on the connector ?

Asking because that option prevent any transfer and specified on mouse over that option on the connector block in control panel.


I can go load your save too, I'll be back later with more info on what is going on ...

[Zen]

Nothing is happening, No.. Thank you Dan I appreciate you taking the time to do that for me.

Also every time I start the game a guy is talking through a tutorial. I keep re-starting and it happens every time even after a reboot! Can't find how to stop it?

[Dan2D3D]

That is the new Steam app update, hit Shift+Tab while in-game and close all the windows in there.

You may have the SE Tutos running in there :

It's a new Steam feature and I think they enabled it on purpose so players can open the Steam menu and try all the new features like able to Pin YouTube in-game :

Hello, thinking maybe you dont have bigger refinery and so ores arent being unloaded?

[Zen]

Thank you Dan!

MARRA92, thank you, but the refinery is practically empty .... Awaiting Dan for an update.

[Dan2D3D]
