Space Engineers Conveyor Sorter Drain All Loop, The problem i have its it only pulls Motors, Construction Componets, and Computers. Subscribe to our channelmore In this tutorial I have a look at some more useful functions of sorting blocks and how you can set them up for your survival base. your miner, put The conveyor sorter took everything off the ship, but then after it passed through the sorter and got to the collector behind it, only the ore passed through. That should get you more of what you want. I know this has to do with the conveyor sorter and I may have to put a sorter on I have a mining ship that has 8 ejectors behind conveyor sorters. . There is no other conveyor connection to the assembler for this test It's just an assembler, into a sorter with whitelist cobalt ingots, drain Is there a line of code I can use to stop conveyor sorter from draining from a specific container? "Drain all accept blank". Basically I have 4 large cargos for specific items with sorted pulling into them I have a mining ship and want to be able to drain the ore from it without removing hydrogen and ice from the h2 o2 generator. Let's say I have a container stocked with 2 different items. I have those same cargo Hello, You have on conveyor sorter action Drain All On/Off and there are no seperate functions Drain On & Drain Off can you please consider it? Thank you When you set Drain All on the sorter it pulls an amount each tick into it's small inventory before the ejector/connector can then pull from there to throw out. However, if I hook up another conveyor to the large container and put it back on the conveyor I did this via a Conveyor Junction connected to the other conveyor Junction with a Sorter (Which is white listed with all Ingots but Uranium and with Drain All Checked) in between the two Junctions with Hi I have done a vanilla ore sorting system using the industrial conveyors going to specific refineries. The easiest way to achive sorting is if the Input/Processing/Output Conveyor Networks are disconnected from each other. If you have a Loop (infinite Pulling of items) you either 1. If i do that, i need 1 Conveyor Sorter to drain, and 1 other to prevent the infinite loop with the cargo Yes, sorters with "drain all" enabled will push items through connectors to every connected storage space. I branched off the main arterial conveyor tube with a sorter set to drain all on Drain all might work as a solution, but might overload sorters themselves. Edit : Also make sure the conveyor sorter is also not pulling items from the destination in an infinite loop. Here sorter 1 has a 'pull all one way' function and sorter 2 has a separate "ingots only, one way" . sorter trouble infinite loop. Occasionally I would close the loop via the output sorter and use Drain All on the input sorter to pull certain items into the container. As long as the grid is powered and I want to be able to automatically move compenents from my assembler into a cargo container, is that possible? Right now I'm trying to use a conveyor sorter to move items, but that isn't I've set up 3x Refineries and a sorter that should drain all ingots from the refineries into a large cargo container. I do recommend having a parallel sorter so that you can bring items to your ship as for some reason having a one way conveyor can You can create a temporary system that allows this by having a second conveyor sorter pointing out of the destination cargo container. I am running into the infinite conveyor sorter loop where they drain from the After double- and triple-checking my conveyor network and doing a few experiments, I am convinced that the components must be deposited in that sorter from the back end, via the "-->Other>--C-->>--" I am sure this question was asked before but the search gave me 365 pages of answers so I will ask again not to save time. Put the item, you want to move through the sorter, into the Whitelist filter. I have a sorter on top of the cargo container that's set to drain all, With loop similar to section 1, ships connected to "output" will drain everything except components, ammo, tools, etc. To keep them from "stalling" You want to transfer ores from miners into Refineries, ice into O2/H2 Generators, or ammo to turrets? The conveyor system is a game mechanic allowing items to be Sorter issue? I have a sorting system setup to drain all the *components* from my inventory system, and another sorter setup to not drain to output the components if I want to There are no loops with sorters in then Assembler->Sorter (DRAIN ON COMPONENTS ONLY)->Conveyor Tree->Sorter (DRAIN OFF COMPONENT NAME)->Cargo Box ->Conveyor Tree The conveyor system is a game mechanic allowing items to be moved from one inventory on a ship or station to another. They're not so much a mystery once you work out what they do, what they can't do and how to use them. "Nearly", because there is no "collect all" button in my control panel on Replacing the sorters with an inventory management script (Isy's, Taleden's, or otherwise) may help. Im building a vanilla factory and in 2 locations i have assemblers. It can be used to filter, sort, or pump items using a blacklist or a I attempted to consolidate all my components into one large cargo container (to make finding things easier). so by Haluaisimme näyttää tässä kuvauksen, mutta avaamasi sivusto ei anna tehdä niin. That, or you have some type of loop For example "Refinery -> Sorter 1 -> main conveyor belt -> Sorter 2 -> Assembler" is completely useful. I don't honestly know why > Must setup the Sorter > add to "Whitelist" the stuff you want to go in the container and check the Drain All box. + I empty at the Refiney having a Sorter set on "Drain Notes: The Drain All feature of the Sorters is not tooltipped and therefore slightly misleading. Is there any way to make a setup that allows one item to go somewhere with Main inventory > sorter white listing stone with drain all > connectors on collect all and throw out. is there a way to make this not happen (other than with scripts_), while letting me take items out of the container from other Hi, I have a question about conveyor sorters. Items pushed this way usually go into the nearest block that accepts that item. Hello, You have on Note The "Drain all" option on Sorter is needed to empty the blocks that keep their inventory by default, like Refinery, Assembler and connectors are blocks the keep their inventory. Dead easy. This Space Engineers tutorial looks at managing your base/ship inventory automatically. I connect the refinery with a large container with Proposed Solution: Using a whitelist would enable the sorter to drain items only from the Assembler and avoid loops, thus maintaining the functionality of retrieving specific components from the Component I have this conveyor configuration: Refinery -- >> sorter >> Small cargo -- Assembly And Assembly is joined with Refinery, causing a loop What I wanted: Refinery processes Ore into Ingots Ingots are Hardships include trouble with equipment, like the Space Engineers sorter loop which can be rather annoying. I was able to get the docking to work fine, but I found that the conveyor sorter I had behind the connectors on I have a conveyor sorter with drain all and a whitelist for components. Whitelist and blacklist stuff. It is a functionally identical rounded While it may seem difficult at first, this is what Space Engineers is all about, and learning some tricks will help you solve the sorter loop. I've set up a conveyor system using conveyor sorter blocks and every time I run into an issue where some of one item in my storage leaves to be transferred and then comes back to the As a retroactive Heavy Industry DLC update in 2023, the stylish Conveyor Pipe Cap was added to cover up open conveyor ports. Hey, I'm an engineer, right? Sorters: in a closed/multi-loop system, a sorter should not Conveyor Sorter not Draining Assemblers So im having a dilemma. All the refinery sorters are set to pull only the a specific ore and scrap metal but they are all pulling Hi there, pretty sure you need Drain All to be On so the sorter actively pulls the items. The easiest (modded) way is to ignore sorters and use a sorting script to have it do what you Today we have a look at sorters and their different functionality: non-return, stop-valve, filtering and drain options, which will assist with managing resources in your conveyor system. I usually run a sorter to a dedicated line out of the Refinery to send Sorter on the left of the ejector, but the armored conveyor to the left of the sorter doesnt look like it's facing the right direction. Definitely worth a These may or may not be bugs, but I feel they are game-breaking and need to be addressed. A classic sorter loop. I'm working on a welder ship and want the supplies to automatically get put into the ship welders when I dock with my base. Here is a tutorial by Splitsie where he goes through setting up a conveyor network with sorters etc. = Eject stone and collect Uranium. Use it to control Connector -> sorter -> Storage. The title provides a summary, but in more depth my problem is that a conveyor sorter, if set to Drain All, will The sorters when set to drain all, drain from the container they are filling in. So be careful while probably designing some loops or branching or branching with buffer containers at As of last check, a conveyor sorter set to "Drain All" will drain a connected inventory into a different connected inventory, assuming that that is the ?closest? storage option. We have a look at how to ge So I'm using the small coveyor sorter in a combination welder and grinder ship and I'm using a sporter to send everything the grinder puts in one cargo container into the other cargo Forum help - Testing Wind Turbine on automatic Factory = OK A Screenshot of Space Engineers By: Dan2D3D = No need to Off/On the "Drain all" option because it is a "One Way" I cannot drain cobalt *ingots* out of the assembler in this picture. 3 - Green connector set to "Throw out". Despite this, the So I am using sorters to push things through the arc furnace, refinery, and assembler to finish at a large cargo container. I have tried setting the Originally posted by nyannokonekko: I have a Refinery-Sorter-Conveyor-Conveyor-Assembler set up And the sorter is setup to "White-list Ingots, +DrainAll" But it doesn't move the ores I can't get them back out, because it the sorter into the component container is one way. Be careful with drain all on anything but very simple setups. Here is how to fix it: Whitelist on conveyor sorter not working? I put sorters on each cargo storage and i made the conveyor sorter have whitelist:stone with drain all enabled, then i Conveyors and Sorters. If you have a Whiutelist, a single item should have Drain All off, but multiple items should This is how I prevent looping in a conveyor system while both minimizing block count and PCU usage at the same time. All the ejectors are set to collect all and throw out. Tick the "Drain All" option so it´s On. Sorters So I took them all out and used the stock ones from an assembler to a storage container with a sorter in the middle with drain all on and components whitelisted and no go. Using only sorters, you'll need to re-think your conveyor design and partition it (using physical You want Conveyor sorters. All components sorted into their respective containers from a larger upstream holding The sorter is likely set to "Drain All" and somehow connected in a loop. EXPECTED the Clang Kola to stay in the Cargo Kola container. Placing components in the component cargo container acts as 1 - Green connector used to empty the mining ship and no Sorter on that conveyor line because drectly placed on the Cargo port. If you want to speed up automatic emptying of e. I was in survival with inventory at x1 testing the autodocking on a ship of mine. All you need to do, to make it work properly is: 1. Making dedicated ore and ingot containers, etc. Gases Is it on drain all or is it just pushing the overflow through the sorter? The only other thing I can think of is I’m pretty sure the is a limit to what a single sorter can pull through at a given time, and the connector Originally posted by TheHellKat: It's important to make sure that you don't have any connection loops that can bypass the sorters. You can verify this by looking at So sorters here depends on how you have set up your assemblers whether in series or parallel, if you just got them end on end then you only need to put a single sorter after the last Sorter Loops I realize this is probably very newbish but I can't brainstorm a way to make this looping stop. But I fired it up today for the first time in a while and the connectors are overriding the sorter's I'm trying to make a sorting machine but the sorters keep pulling items from the cargo container and making an infinite loop any ideas on stopping this? Player info: Conveyor Sorter SBC documentation: ConveyorSorter Definition It can filter what items can pass through this block's conveyors, and turning the block off prevents all item transfers. 📺 The Small Conveyor Sorter is a block in Space Engineers that is used to control the directional flow of items in a Conveyor system. Either change your tube-layout, set Conveyors are not a bottleneck, but sorter actually do have a “batch“ size and frequency of their push/pull Action which is limited. Hey Engineers! I have an issue where the conveyor sorters are not pulling ingots from assemblers. This way it pull the items it just put into the container over and over again. I want these connected back into the system though so I did everything the video said for setting up the sorters and ejectors, and nearly doing all the settings for them too. We use sorters, whitelist, blacklist and drain-all features to send components, ores and ingots to their own For one thing, they distribute evenly by default, and sorters will not usually drain their uranium reserves. 2. Without Drain All on the sorter just acts like a All about resolving the sorter issues! Thanks for watching. My setup right now is connector > conveyor sorter > conveyor junctions > I use Conveyor Sorters to drain ingots from the refinery or components (not ingots) from the assembler. Let me give you a guide on the ins/outs of this system and show you how Cargo unloader system; sorter blocks not pulling? Discussion in ' Gameplay Help ' started by Guru Cube, Jul 26, 2015. and will refill O2 and H2 tanks automatically. When you want to do a periodic cleanup, have a timer that turns off It's best when utilizing conveyor sorters that you do not provide any basis for your items to loop back around to where you began, either through using another I currently have a conveyer sorter attached to my conveyers that pushes components from my assembler line to cargo containers underground. Don't create loops. Once that is done, I turn-off Drain All and open the loop The title provides a summary, but in more depth my problem is that a conveyor sorter, if set to "Drain All", will be so determined to suck in items that it will even pull out of the cargo container directly at its Only have the cargo's "output" sorter turned on, and use timer blocks so that once a minute or so, the output sorter gets turned off, the input (drain) sorter is turned on, and starts a When you want to do a periodic cleanup, have a timer that turns off the "out" sorter and sets the "in" sorter to "drain all. Loops are fine, but you have to make sure not to have I set up a separate sorters (whitelisted, drain all ON)->container for each of 15 components. A good thing to check the conveyor/sorter is working, is trying to drag and drop some ingots manually, if the assembler storage is not greyed out the conveyor should work. g. The conveyor sorters are set to whitelist mode and stone as a filter. They pull ingots from every other device, but not the assemblers. If there is a loop it will likely do nothing. Maybe you Im trying to use a sorter to pull componets only down into the cargo container. So setup one Sorter per container first and go more complex creation How to setup sorters so that Items won't circle around? So I am trying to setup sorting system inside my base, problem is that I can't get them to The Conveyor Sorter is a block in Space Engineers that is used to filter, sort, or pump items using a blacklist or a whitelist, actively or passively. " After a few minutes it will have cleaned out all of the other containers in your Drain All - Activate this mode to actively pull all whitelisted items (or all non-blacklisted items) from one side and push them into the conveyor system on the side of the arrow. I have everything whitelisted, that's how it all got Haluaisimme näyttää tässä kuvauksen, mutta avaamasi sivusto ei anna tehdä niin. 1 - Sorter 1 on green connector set to Whitelist Stone. Once you do this, the sorter is working just fine; with or without safe zone being used on Question about conveyor loops So, I wanted to finally start to be a good boy and clean up my inventories properly. My issue is that the sorter isn't draining the items into the cargo container. Not my Steel Because I'm dumb: Image 1: sorter, not draining Image 2: settings on sorter (drain all toggle at very top) Image 3: clearer image of image 4 Image 4: both sorters Hello, I have some large storage containers that i have attached conveyor sorters to, this allows me to seperate Ore, Components and Ingots. If you set the sorter to have a blank blacklist it will pul anything at all through itself, so it can be used to easily drain one grid into another. Really handy uses of the sorter involve managing pesky Make sure your system has sufficient power. I made a small Sorters set to Drain All ON pull small amounts of filtered items into themselves and push those items to the other side. 2 - Sorter 2 on blue Cargo set to Whitelist Uranium.
