Ore sorter bugged.

The ore sorter dont work as its suppose. The rock goes on 2 places. 1 is the right place and 1 is the wrong place. then also the rock block the ore sorter becaus is full of roick very often. The truck who were assign to the rock storage dont make is job. Its preferring to saty pask close to it. See on the screenshot other truck the came to the storage where the were assign. See the truck with iron ore. So the ore storage dont suppose to exit ressources on 2 different belts if its not set to them. Its work with other ressources but not with the rock. And the the rock storge stay fuul beside to be empty regularly preventing the blockage of the ore sorter.

The ore storter changed its setting by itself.

Hi, You have 3 products selected to come out of output (d) and only 2 options for bins for them to go to, this is causing the blockage. I tried to reproduce first and found no further issue if set-up right. I did take some liberties to speed things up so It maybe skewed from your setting. I see you say now the ore sorter changed settings and that is strange, not sure I've ever seen it do that but It seems to work fine for me so I'm not sure what you are doing.

You could try emptying all your belts and the sorter and reassign the outputs to correct order first. Beyond that your save file would be beneficial for someone to analyze.

In regards to your assigned trucks not taking it away the bins should in my opinion be set to "keep empty" on the slider for a min amount the trucks are able to carry .
They also need an valid avail place to dump and I cant see your whole island but best to —assign a route— to somewhere to guarantee it goes where you want for the primary and even secondary product of a busy sorter But if done right this is not necessary as well but not as good of an option in my opinion.

Did you see the difference between the 2 screenshots. The first one is the correct setting. But something change on the other screenshot. It will a good thing if we saw the letters at the exit of the ore sorter. It will be more easy to set it.

Yes I see it, I just couldn't reproduce. I don't doubt that it is doing it to you however.

Could you share you save file for someone to analyze?

ok

The logs and the save file.

OK, so I was able to simply reorder, erase material on belt, hook back up and all works as expected running for last 10 mins.

I will note that changes done to the sorter, take until after you un-pause the game to take effect and may cause confusion. Also to note the first 3 selected materials assing to the ABC then the rest seem to default to the last. I think that it is a combination of these two things causing confusion for you.

If in fact you find this is not the case, and have new information—someone else could have a look.

You can also see that with valid destination and "keep empty" selected the trucks do in fact dump the material.

But now we are going to get to your next issue is that you don't have enough trucks to keep up, so you need to look into automation and optimization or it is going to hinder your progress and function of you factory.

I have 78 trucks. With some excavators and 1 cutting tree machine. I have automatisation with assemblers tier 2 and 2 fondries (copper and iron). I have fuel and energy on automation also.

Oh you may be best to erase the sorter and replace, the material already in it may prevent changes, thou I didnt really test that aspect.

That is fine about the automation. But not having enough trucks to service this may cause further issue is all. Im not critiquieing your save, I really didnt inspect it.

For the ore sorter I have a blueprint with correct setting and all the storages. I did the blueprint myself base from a blueprint from an other player.

And I use it on my map. The one you see is the one from my blueprint.

Okay, I’m just trying to help! All I can really do is get it working so you can continue to play again. There might be a bug with blueprint settings getting copied—I’m not sure—but I only focus on attempting to help with bugs that stop people from enjoying the game. I hope someone else can dig deeper for you. For now, based on my testing, you can manually adjust it to avoid this issue. Good luck!

ok
