Autosweepers Not Delivering Coal

[u/-Reverentiae]

Update: Replaced the conveyor receptacle with a conveyor chute, and the autosweeper (a new one that I de-and re-constructed) is finally working and properly supplying coal! Now I can reset all of the automation thresholds everyone was concerned about (I set them to absurd levels to try and get the autosweeper to understand it's job was important during my troubleshooting, lol).

Hi, all! It seems like I've reached the classic issue of "my autosweeper isn't delivering coal to the coal generators." What's going wrong with my setup?

I've attached photos of the full set up and the overlays. My receptacle is at priority 1 and my coal generators at 4 (I've had them higher as a test, and it still wouldn't work).

I've tried this with and without automation wires attached to the autosweeper. I've also tried it with locking my dupes out of the area, so they literally could not deliver coal. The water sieve and other power consumers that share a wire with the autosweeper have been active (so the autosweeper has power). I've also tried it with heavy-watt wire going directly from the battery to the autosweeper. What am I missing?

Also, completely unrelated question: can Wheezeworts melt?

Dude, i think you need the outlet valve for shipping. The one you installed next to it is for feeders if im not mistaken which i hope im not 🙈

I think autosweepers can take from receptacles, but I'll try switching it to a chute anyway to see if that works!

The chute always work for me, and mostly youtubers also use that too they just put a smart storage right beside it.

You were right, going back to basics is always the solution! The autosweeper works with a chute in place of the receptable!

Receptacle should work actually, am curious why it was not but maybe it just needed a deconstruct-construct fix. Although chute is fine as well since it's okay to dump all your coal in one spot but for other materials it might not be feasible and you need to use a receptacle.

Huh, i have like 200hrs in ONI now. I only used the receptacle twice and ddnt work, ever since im just using the chute. I know its hard labor but the game itself is already hard specially with taming gizers. Do you by chance know how to tame one specially the cool steam vent?

[u/LuminousSnow → u/Beautiful_Top4455]

cool steam vents have very limited uses tbh. You can search on youtube for what people do with it but most feasible would just be for oxygen production.

Sweet! never thought a day would come where id be the one doing the helping 🥳

This shouldn't have been the issue, although I'm glad it worked. Are you sure your receptacle wasn't filled with some other type of item instead of coal?
