Auto Sweeper not supplying specifically to coal generators

[Mouroz]

I'm honestly not sure if this is a bug or if somehting is simply slipping my mind... yes i saw the old post about this but this time its different:
- I set the conveyor recptacle priority to 1, a storage bin priority to 2 and all coal generators the 8.
- Regarding the automation part i connected the auto sweeper to the same automation wires as the coal generators and always tested when it was on.
- Fuel request threshold of all coal generators are 100
- I disabled mods, but i only had the mod to reroll caracters an the infinite zoom out mod (to see the whole map), i highly doubt any would affect any machinery mechanics, but i still disabled them anyways and even let a whole cycle pass
- No, the only thoing allowed on the bin is coal, and the only thing being supplied to the receptable via a manual loader use is also coal

Emptying the bin and selecting to storage coal again... the coal is immediatly resupplied to the bin that has a drastically lower priority level while the coal generators is on 60% or so, some even on 30% and about to run out... im completly out of ideas on how to fix this, but allowing dupe passage on the power room is gonna affect temp of the base alot, and its also pretty far away and inneficient to have them go there...
It was working fine until i decided to relocate it to add one more coal gen slot but now its completly non functional even after removing that extra coal gen
Is this a bug or am i missing something?

Here's the link of the layout (theres supposed to have 1 more coal gens on that stair place though)

Edit: it seems it was related to the fact that with automated generators, they are most of the time untochable by the auto-sweepers (once battery reaches 50-60% depending on your threshold all the way to once the smart battery automation turn the gennerators on again). If none of the things i just mentioned seem to make the generator work, its probably this oversight right here ^)

disconnect sweeper from automatic control, decrease supply treshold to 50-60%.
Sweeper power supplying is ok?

Right coal generator will never be filled with coal by the auto-sweeper, as the cell of interest is the middle-low and it's not in range.

By automatic control do you mean the automation line? I tried that and it didnt bring any changes, and the power supplying was good too
Ah i fixed it now but it seems to be a massive oversight of mine...
Basically the moment your battery is almost full the generator fuel is low, but it doesnt see the need to recharge as the battery content is higher than the fuel threshold. That and the fact that after the battery gets high enough the generators are disabled until the batteries are almost empty. This whole event last a whole cycle or so, so it gave an impression that the auto sweeper was indeed not working... weirdly enough i changed to 100% at one point but i guess i did not wait enough time? Either way its working just fine now! Thanks for the help^

Well, the game just ignores that setting so there is not much to be done here - just build more batteries and hope for the best.

its threshold of generator supplying, not batteries level. You set from what coal level generator will require fuel supplying. Problem was that sweeper are supplying only when coal generator enabled by automatic. I was sure that author knows about that. Now he knows 4sure

I found a YouTube video that was helpful. Look for Shipping Tutorial/Oxygen not included by Eco Ridge gaming

It's simple...

...Autosweepers only refill coal generators when:

1) there almost empty
2) Sweepers are not connected to automation
3) coal is stored in range

They do refil them no worries, it just ignores all of the generator settings, once you have like 5/10 mm coal left in it then it will refil.

1st is not correct

Autosweepers will refill according to the setup. If you set the generators to be refilled when they are at 90% capacity, that is what the autosweeper will do. It has nothing to do with being more or less filled and everything to do with your setup.

Sweepers ignores that setting on the generators. Just try it your self

No, either your setup is wrong or the generators are not enabled long enough for the sweeper to get the coal and refill them.

My goto setup:

change the sliders however you like, if not below lets say 10% coal left in generator then sweepers kicks in to refill, not at 49 not at 70 but at around 10, no matter the slider settings.

I don't have problem with sweepers disobeying refueling treshold and seems that at least one more guy don't have it neither.
Top row power generators probably are not accessible by sweepers because coal power generator tile of interest is middle bottom one.
Coal supplying way is suspicious about avaliability percentage.

This setup works just fine, sweepers reach all.

For me everything works, onlly thing is if you think generators get not refeuled by sweepers then wait, they will do it when generator is almost empty.
