[BUG] tin wire in inventory as unknown material

[Deekor]

tin wire in inventory as unknown material. Its unusable.

Do I need to research something? Pretty sure this a bug.

With the new recipies tin wire is not used for anything so that might be why. I ended up with some myself, its easy to make a mistake when you're first seting up your crafting lines. I'm guessing we can toss it the macerator later.

This similar question(unknown material) has been anwsered many times befor. Go check your Research Station at your power hub. There should be some projetcs like base Building or Automation for you to research. Maby use the Forums search function with "unknown Material" befor posting.

Pretty sure i read something about iron gears showing as unkown Material just yesterday. Is the same problem you have.

And sry if i sound rude, its just a question that gets asked a lot lately. Usualy happens for worlds getting converted from P17 to P18.

Maby check out the Patch notes. There has been quite some changes in terms of Automation.

I cant speak for the OP, but I had the same thing happen and its a fresh world. Base Building research is done (couldn't have build the extruder otherwise), so its not about that.

Yeah like i said it usualy happens when you convert P17 Worlds to P18. Never said this would be always true, bc

base building unlocks the research which you need to do.
The "Assembly Line Machines" research is required.


also mods can interfere and this research is for tin items, some copper items and lithium coils.

For iron or higher stuff you need to research "laboratories". Also don't forget that for each item you need to scan their respective ore. (tin item = tin ore, etc). Mods allow to craft those before you even find the ore ;D

I had it in my second game.
I think it happened when I picked up a hopper or extruder with the wire in it after I collected the copper wire noramlly, but not the tin wire
