Small issue/maybe bug, with connectors and conveyors
Hi Isy, really nice script, I use in every ship I made. But I'm running into a small issue/maybe bug.
When I undock, all the conveyor system of the grid "shuts down" (showing all as "not connected") and I can't transfer items from A to B even manually.. I solve it by deactivating the program block before undocking and activate after..

I have a small dron miner docked to a movil platform, docking to a station (both the miner and the platform with this script) and when I go to the mine with the platform and the miner (both docked), two things could happen.

-Either I don't deactivate the script of the miner before undocking and the drills get full without transfer items to its own cargo container.
-Or I deactivate the miner script before undocking the platform, everything transfers to its cargo like normally until its full. But if I didn't do that with the platform docked to station before, Items from miner won't transfer to the movil platform container.

I go back to the station, dock everything and then it kind of resets, everything transfers from the miner, to the platform, to the station container, and I can manually test to transfer some items.
I have to say that I have an item sorting script, but deactivating that one does nothing, cause I can't still transfer items manually (container inventory stills getting black). I'm still testing it with some configs like selecting some connectors in groups, ignoring others, but if you or someone know of some kind of tip or solution to my problem it will be apreciated.

UPDATE: It seems that the problem has to do with the emergency reactor config, if I deactivate that option everything works.

That sounds like a general power shortage and some weird conveyor behavior.. Never experienced something like this before and I also can't reproduce it. You should check your mod list.. In the past, I had a mod installed that broke the conveyors, too. I don't know exactly which mod that was.. Also try testing your ship in other environments in order to see, whether the error still persists.

Also try using the connector tags if you don't want to charge your drone on your mobile platform:

No recharge at a connector
If you don't want to recharge the batteries when docked to specific connectors, add the keyword to their name. All batteries except one backup battery are turned off in order to not steal power. Usecase: docking to other ships with limited power
string noRechargeKeyword = "[No Recharge]";

Discharge at a connector
If you want to discharge your batteries on specific connectors, add the keyword to their name. All batteries are set to discharge if their charge is above 10%. Usecase: power transfer ships
string noRechargeKeyword = "[Discharge]";

Ignore a connector
If you don't want to change the battery state when connected to specific connectors, add the keyword to their name. All batteries stay in In/Out mode. Usecase: addon modules of the ship
string noRechargeKeyword = "[Ignore]";

Ok thanks, I'm deleting some mods that I'm not using at the moment, so I'll be testing on that side. I don't know if I have some mod that involves conveyors, but I'll check it out. In the meantime I solved it by deactivating the emergency reactor option..

"enableEmergencyReactors = false"
