Small Conveyor Tubes NOT transfering Ore on Small Ship; HELP??

[Aurelius]

I got a small ship with a drill, medium cargo container and bare bares. Powered with Uranium, tubes going from the drill to the container, all lit green; nothing going through. Help

Hi, small ports are not working when placed on large port so make sure it is small yellow port placed on small yellow port.

Example of Ship Drill Basic Setup :
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2999462336
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.

I will add :

Sorter blocks are not really needed and I recommend to test both setups to gain experience.

EDIT
Test with and without Sorter.

[Aurelius]

I have done this, still not able to access my inventory from the drill unless I click on the drill even though it is hooked to a medium cargo container

[Dan2D3D]

Do you have Sorter on the conveyor line ?

Asking because Sorter creates a "One Way" that can prevent transfer when bad position.

OR
Share, at least, some Steam screenshots of your conveyor line, one may see something wrong in your setup.

Check the drill(s) to see if the "Use Conveyor" setting is On or Off. If it's "OFF", then it will not push ore to other blocks.

[Dan2D3D]

Ronin got a good point, it may not work because you changed block setting in control panel.

+
It should work all on default.
+
You may delete/grind the blocks to add new one to be sure they are all on default settings

I do have it set to convey "ON" and have tried literally every way of piping for the last 4 hours

Tried that as well. Tried literally every way that you can. Even made a new game, I think the small Conveyor's are broken for drills, can't access drills if I pipe to anything

[Dan2D3D]

My Drill ships are working very well so I can tell the conveyor blocks are working.

Just share your save or the blueprint of your creation so I can paste in my testing world.

How to share a save is in my post #4 above ^ and here is how to Blueprint :

FIrst you have to create the Local Blueprint by aiming at your Drill ship and hit Ctrl+B

And do the follwing when done :

1 - Open the Blueprints menu F10 in-game.

2 - Select your Blueprint in the list.

3 - Click the "Publish" button.

4 - Choose a proper Tag, select Steam Upload and click the OK button.

5 - Your Blueprint will be uploaded to Steam Workshop.

Something to note if you have sorters in a system watch how you are trying to access the system inventory

A >sorter> B

if you try to access inventory B by using block A you will not be able to as the sorters act as one way valve and you can't pull items back thought the sorted the wrong way

It might be worth adding I have been driven to cursing and fuming when ores wouldn't transfer, More than once I started to suspect the frikkin game was just screwing with me, only to discover I had missed an unwelded tube or one that got damaged somehow. The first time I was reduced to using spectator mode and flying through the innards to spot the culprit.

I have a small-grid small-conveyor mining/grading/tunneling rover I've been working on that does exactly this and works great, so long as I don't bang up the exposed tubes and overlook repairs.

Even on a brand new unit. I have tried several in creative, tried 4 in survival. Copied blueprints, nothing comes out of the drills on small conveyors, even got 2 of my friends to try. We can't get it

[Candarian]

why not blueprint it and let it check?
would make it way easier than this

[Rox]

Is this ship your own design or is it one you found on the Steam workshop ? Are any mods or plugins in use ? If you're not prepared to share blueprint or screenshots its very difficult for others to see what may be causing the problem, because fundamentally it's unlikely to be the game itself, based on the current experiences of very many other players.
