Question about gallite
Why does gallite obstruct my refinery hopper? Is my refinery not big enough? It has 7 bins

Only reason a particular mineral would block your refinery would be that you're already collecting X others, X being the number of bins.

Also, nice Oberon portait, OP :)

Your refinery can only hold x-amount of 'differant' ore you mine -- how much that is depends how good your refinery is. While you can get just 1 type of ore per chunk you blast off with your laser the vast majority of rocks your picking at will give chunks that have 2 differant types of ore in each chunk. If your refinery is already loaded up with 3 types of ore, for example, and the chunk your trying to scoop up is 50% one of the ores already in your refinery and another 50% of another ore that isn't in your refinery it's going to... obstract your refinery hopper.

Let's say you have gallite, osmium, and silver, and gold in your refinery -- it can only hold upto 4 at a time. Your mining gallite, but one of the chunks that you try to scoop is a gallite/coltan chunk. you already have gallite in the refinery but theres no space for coltan because all 4 of your refinery slots are already occupied with differant types of ore. This is why the refinery is being obstructed.

**ALWAYS** choose the best refinery you can fit in your mining ship. Yes, that means the A-rated one.
