Packager not working properly

[Mauser]

Hi Everyone, i'm trying to package fuel into empty canister with a packager bit it does not work. The packager gets enough Fuel and empty canister but the packager does not take any empty canister to make packaged fuel ? Thanks for your help

Step 1: Make sure your using the correct recipe. (Sounds stupid but you'd be surprised)
Step 2: Make sure you are using the correct input/output port. (this is the likely culprit)
Blue-green Arrow side tells you what's "out" and the opposite side of building is "in"
Step 3: If its actually filling cans but not unloading them to a belt - means you got a connection issue - rerun the connection.
Step 4: Powered? Weird I know.

Check all the obvious things.
If still not working - screenshots would help.

PS: Unpacking is the opposite configuration - I know its obvious but sometimes you need to spelled out to do a sanity check. Also WARNING - they do not pack/unpack at the same speed. Check the fine print. May need to adjust clocks for that.

PS2: If your still stuck - ill snap a pic of my packager and you can use that as a reference but you should be able to figure it out by then I hope.

Could be a number of things but you need to learn how to troubleshoot in the game. The likely suspects are You have something else clogging the intake usually just before it enters the packager that is normally solved by deleting that final chunk of conveyor and rebuilding it. if you are looking at the packager did you load it with the correct canister? For example, if you are packaging regular fuel or turbo fuel it would need to have regular canisters supplied to the assembler building and it would show them loaded when you click on the building. Did you also remember to hook up power to the assembler building as well?
It really can't be anything other than an issue belting in the cans, another item jamming the input, power, or some other supply line error.

I think I was around Tier 8 before I figured that out, on my own. I'd gotten used to derezzing the machine and all the conveyors leading into and out of it and then rebuilding everything.

A simple solution would be to not let anything go beyond the machine's event horizon until a) you turn the machine on, and b) the item going in matches the recipe chosen.

Playtesting should have solved that problem.

Stop trolling.

Are you using the correct canisters?
The liquid fuels need one type, the gaseous fuels (rocket, ionized) need the empty flasks made from aluminium.

I would check the recipe. Make sure you are using a package recipe and not the unpack one.
If the convener wont allow the canisters to go in try to add them by hand and see if that works. You may also have a issue with the conveyor connection.

contaminated belt with other item? Broken connection somewhere?
