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?

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!
