How to eject stone?

[mruno]

I'm new to this game, and I keep getting loads of stone in my ship and dont know how to eject it all quickly, is there a way to do this?

You can use ejector/connector to get rid of it, but you have to disable "collect all", or otherwise it will dump everything it can reach. You have to manually drag stone to the ejector.

Other trick is to put all the stone to one container that is connected to a connector and then sever the connection to any other container. If you use this method you can have the "collect all" enabled.

thanks, but surely it takes AGES for everyone to remove anything in this way?

[Gekkibi]

Surely you took this into concideration when designing the ship/base? ;)

It's not going to take "ages". It's just tedious. Yes, it should be more automated but it's not. Right now you have two options: get rid of the stone manually or keep it.

this is the starter mining ship on easy start one. But yeah, I guess i'll have to hope the devs will something later

Keep in mind it isn't completely useless. ;) It might even get more uses in the future. I hope to see concrete blocks, that would be sweet. Make them super heavy so they're discouraged for mobile ships but encouraged for maybe carriers and stations. :D OR GIANT SPACE HAMMARZ

Erect stone.

If you use the other function of the drill (right click instead of left,) you will be picking a lot less stone. Just don't right click on something like an iron or uranium deposit.

Is there a way to make it dump all the stone at once, or at least more than the default? I'm trying to make a mass driver cannon, and I can't do much when it's just throwing out a few unit's worth of stone at a time.
