Need help with ammo and conveyors.

[Impact-49]

It appears ammunition isn't flowing through container blocks on my ship. Everything is connected, but the missiles and ammo boxes just sit in the large container, requiring manual placement. The turrets are also set to use the conveyor system.

[casualsailor]

Are they stock turrets or modded ones? Many modded guns like the ones that allow large ship turrets to be placed on small ships will not auto feed despite having connector ports.

Creative mode or survival?

In creative mode the weapons dont load with ammo from what I remember, but they still work, as in creative they dont actually need ammo to fire

[SievertChaser]

Are you, by any chance, using a small ship with turrets?

[ThirtyMileSniper]

Do you have any sorters blocking/reversing the flow?

Yep, testing Conveyor in creative is done through a lot of dragging.

No prob dude. As long as the yellow lights on the conveyors all light up then everything should work right if/when you switch to survival.

No we have to solve the large-to-small mystery.

I think small tubes can be connected to Large doors.

Do the conveyors light up yellow when you try and make that connection? I never intentionally mismatched my conveyor system so I dont know...

They even pass ammo. Not sure about the lights.

Trying a bunch of different configurations, small conveyors can attach to large doors around the edges but not the center, and its not allowing me to pass ammo through any of them...

Small conveyor tubes must connect to small doors, Large to Large. You cannot mix and match them for vanilla blocks.

And remember there are two different size conveyors for small ships. And the Small Ship Small Conveyor will not allow everything to pass, only ore, ammo and small components.

Well, that blueprint was observed to prove otherwise.

I'm not sure what blueprint you are referring to. Does is use vanilla blocks or modded ones?

Well, it used guns and magpads, but the link was between the medium container and the fighter cockpit:
