Piston is not transferring items
Have an issue with my drilling rig (large grid). I have a piston that the conveyor system is going through. I have a C junction on top and one C junction on the bottom to get to storage. The bottom one goes off to storage and is lit green. The top one goes off to my drill and it is lit yellow, so I'm assuming something like power is not getting to the top one. I don't see any settings on the piston settings to disable or enable power or transfers. The piston top part is also fully functional. None of the items are damaged.

The drill is working, so power is getting through, it just doesn't transfer any ore to the refinery and the piston appears to be the culprit.

Any idea what I could be missing? Just grind it down and try again?

Edit: As far as I can tell I have plenty of power on the grid. I have a windmill and battery and the battery is showing several hundred KWs of power available.

EDIT #2: Was actually a part next to it that wasn't fully built. Thanks for the replies.

Might need a screenshot of the settup to better solve this.

I assume its survival, have you actually built the piston head? Its seperate from the piston and would block the passage of items at least from that side of the block.

green 1 direction yellow the other direction usually means a conveyor is not in right or didn't weld on both ends.

Yeah, I have a head on it... that's what I was trying to refer to with the piston top part. And yes, survival.

Now I don't remember how to include a screenshot...

I welded it, but maybe something didn't take. Kind of figuring I'll need to grind it down, but was hoping I was missing a setting somewhere.

Well, my bad. After I grinded off that that top C section, I noticed the conveyor connector next to it was missing some short steel tubes. All green now. Thanks for the replies.

A piston head not fully built is usually also the reason of not working coveyors. Which would also make it yellow on the adjacent tubes. It's rather small so easy to miss.
