you probably need a refinery?

[Jankules]

Rafinery is full...you need manualy to empty some slots in rafinery section
right panel...ship...under cargo

[Grapcioo]

no 1 refinery is not enough for mining?

it is, but it's probably filled with something else than cobalt?

[Grapcioo]

Different refineries have different number of bins. The A4 refinery has enough bins that within a single ring you should never need to manually eject anything. Smaller bins though you need to clear out.

Why not automatically you might ask? Well, would you like a fragment of Painte being cleared out to make way for some low value fragment?

You say a 1 refinery, so that's going to be from an E1 to an A1 depending, which gets you like... 2 bins? Basically every time you switch a rock youre going to need to clear out one of the bins or both unless you are focusing on a particular material only.

Also if you use collector limpits then you can exclude all ores which you don't want in the left ship panel under contacts. Helps a lot to keep your refinery clean and free from low stuff...

Agony is right. It's frustrating, but you have to clear the junk out pretty often.
I go core mining, so there are only a few things I ever want to refine, so I don't need a big refinery. If you're trying to get a whole range of things you'll need a massive refinery.
