Resources disappear from refineries!

[DigiScot]

Don't leave your base if you stick items in your refineries to refine while you go do other stuff, I just came back to my base which has 10 refineries and 4 of them were empty, over 5k each of rust, dust, copper, ammonia and Dioxite of mine just went poof!

Higher ratio refines, combining things with oxygen results in things having a 5:1 ratio getting like 1:5 etc, though people normally do the mistake of jumping systems while refining in said refiners and thus resulting in losses.

A personal refiner is just inferior in terms of net yield

But why? I can easily buy stacks of everything being made in a refiner in seconds. Just seems like a big waste of time, but that of course, is just my opinion.

Just look into infinite refining and you will understand, personal refiner is good for passive refining, and for certain exploits.

Medium and large refiners and are infinite money. Personal refiner handy but doesn't combine materials. Take emeril or indium and refine most (not all) into chromatic metal and then put indium or emeril with the chromatic metal and you make more indium or emeril than you had in the first place. Rinse and repeat. Takes time so I leave them running while out on short missions.

I know what infinite refining is. Still seems like a waste of time.

Everyone has their play style and it may differ from yours, but you asked why all the refining. You got your answer even if it doesn't meet your play style. But it's is a waste of time and resources when a stack of chromatic metal plus all my indium disappear when I leave my base for a few minutes. It's a nasty bug and it's been around along time now.

I believe it happens when going to the nexus. Since you can't get storage containers before you go to the nexus, I just built 30 portable refiners in my base to store stuff. Once I went there the first time and came back, I discovered they were all empty and thought that another player had come to my base and stolen everything (since going to the nexus makes your base teleportable to everyone else playing). Later I noticed my refiner resources disappearing a few more times, but thought it was related to saving, quitting, and starting again, so I just left stuff running while I was playing and pulled it out before quitting. Thinking I was safe, I loaded up one refiner with all my parafinnium, cobalt, and tritium, and another with a huge stack of runaway mould and went to the nexus. Upon returning, they were empty again.

This just happened to me today, so it's apparently still a backend game problem. I just lost an entire stack of Pyrite that I left in refiners to make Ferrite Dust (which was going to be used for Supply Depots for a mining operation) while I teleported to a different base to collect a different resource being mined there. If any devs are reading this...it's definitely non-trivial for me right now.

No one argues that standing in front of a refiner doing nothing else is no good.
The idea is that you run the refiners and go do something else (but, sometimes you lose stuff) or go afk (my approach) while it cooks. Its not a waste of time when its running in the background or while you are mowing the lawn or whatever: its free stuff that you got while not even playing. If you have everything, you don't need to refine. Or mine. Or have gas collectors. Or scan critters for money. Or visit the hub. Or anything else. When you have everything, you do what you like and ignore gathering stuff unless its for fun. Refiners are a early and middle game tool to get what you need efficiently, whether that is infinite loop money making or boiling nanites out of slime. I am reaching the end of the road on refiners myself... I no longer need tons of money and I just bumped my multi-tool to s class so I no longer need thousands of nanites. They were a great way to get there, though.

So the people who refine things, and go off to do something else and have all their ♥♥♥♥ vanish get punished for not wanting to stand around for ~30 minutes at a time? Worst decision I've seen since I started playing NMS.

The real insult added to injury is right after this they added another vehicle that you can use for storage and changed all the stack sizes for normal difficulty to 9999 per stack for most items.

The sweet lies, it happened to me last night.
