Is there a fix for the broken mineral extractors?
Since this patch has been out on consoles a couple of days now I expected to find a solution - but see none.
Every of my mineral extractors is dead with a broken-icon saying Hermetic Seal in them.

I tried removing and re-placing them.
I tried scanning the hotspot again (not that it would matter, since you never had to re-scan every time you logged in before)
I tried placing new ones in another area.

I'm regretting coming back for Beyond, every time I work out how to do something correctly, that something gets broken, changed, nerfed, broken again.... etc.

Check your mods installed to ensure nothing is conflicting.

I logged back in again, the extractors still aren't doing anything, but the cargo are all full now, so apparently it works but doesn't show that it works anymore.

The animations are broken but the extractors still work however their output has been reduced. If you look at the extractor it will tell you its output. Not sure what the Hermatic seal is about though as you cant do anything with the icon, but on this info you can see the % output the you are getting from the extractor - the further away from the centre the less output.

Did a patch drop today that caused this Issue. All of my base extractors and power generators are down today, reporting significantly reduced or no output. On top of that, I can't even find the hotspots I originally had them attached to, though it is showing that they have some concentrations. Is this drop in production to stop people from being able to have both power and extractors running from a single base?

I’m having the same problem on Xbox One, extractors are pulling about 360/hour on a B hotspot (Activated Indium), but the animations aren’t working and it says I need a hermetic seal on them but I can’t. It works I guess but kinda sucks.

Kill one bug, two new ones take its place. Heil Hydra?

You are not alone this bug appear about two patch ago, when will be fixed the problems with hiding electricity snap points. In last version the supply depot connecting to power source by electrical wires. For now, main difference between today's and last versions is - the own supply sockets mystical disappeared from supply depots. And for now i had the problems too with mining the S-class Copper source. The distance was problems too, over 300-350 units i can't connecting the local teleport, they are useless now. How can it be?

Our dear Hello Games make patch for the base game building process 1st, then 2nd design new skins and so on... For multiplayer you've done well.

Remember when in first release version of Beyond, during the beta test, health station and hazard protection unit had to be connected individually. But it was quickly removed with 2nd patch!

One situation in which this happens is when the extractor is not associating with a base. Examples:
- If you used a mod that let you build anywhere, but didn't extend the base boundary.
- I once built a base computer but forgot to claim the base after. All my extractors were doing this.

When you're placing the extractor, on the bottom right, does it say "Editing <Base Name>"?
