It did the same for me, but i had organic cutter heads then, now when i've switched over to plasma cutter heads it seems to work.

does not seem to still be working. i used a single stock inf ore extractor on a tin vein, still had 80k ore and the vein depleted.

Will there be a higher tier IOE to mine T5 and beyond?

no
Austin5003 23 Aug, 2019 @ 1:11pm 
Can this harvest ores higher than T4, like uranium and magmacite?

never mind

can you add the ability to set the Ore Extractors to a limit of 5000? this limit can be turned on and off by the player. for those who want to use them, but don't want them running at all times.

Possible to have this mine resin, or an infinite resin miner?

Thx to Rhywden for uploading a world. Missing detail on the issue is that it only happens in Rapid mode. Update is now posted.
Rhywden 24 Jun, 2018 @ 7:49am 
I'll try. The same thing happens with the Antimatter drill, by the way. I suspect it's an issue with the stored stack size - as long as the internal stack is below 100 then everything is fine. But both fusion and antimatter drill create an internal stack of 102 / 120.

This only bug I could find was the machine panel count doesn't update when emptying to a neighboring storage machine, at least until the extractor state changes. That is a patched now, but there has to be someone else going on as well.

Would anyone be able to upload a zip or 7z of their world with this issue to Dropbox or OneDrive and post the link here or IM to me on the FC Discord channel? If posted here , Steam will automatically nuke it a few minutes after so I'll try to catch it bedore that happens. You can exclude the Backup subfolder of the world folder.

Happens with unmodded hoppers as well, though, that's why I didn't mention them.
Mad Vandal  [author] 23 Jun, 2018 @ 8:15pm 
You didn't mention a modded hopper...re-testing with those.
eternal_mpei 23 Jun, 2018 @ 1:42pm 
Same problem with fusion motor. No probles with motors below it.
Rhywden 21 Jun, 2018 @ 3:12am 
I also just deactivated all mods (which don't touch the extractors anyway) save for: Tricky's Storage Hoppers, your own ESMS and this mod. Still happens.
I could upload my world files so you can download it from somewhere if you want to take a closer look.
Rhywden 21 Jun, 2018 @ 2:48am 
It's single player and it also doesn't happen with the vanilla ore extractor.
Mad Vandal  [author] 20 Jun, 2018 @ 11:15am 
I wasn't able to recreate this issue. The code for this is a direct copy of the vanilla ore extractor code with the hardness check and ore cube value reduction removed, so I'm wonder if you've hit a bug with the vanilla ore extractor. Do you get this problem on the vanilla ore extactor? Also, Is this a dedicated server or single player?
Rhywden 20 Jun, 2018 @ 9:29am 
No cutter head, all ores.
Mad Vandal  [author] 19 Jun, 2018 @ 6:02pm 
I'm trying to recreate this scenario and not having any luck. Fusion motor, let hopper fill, let extractor buffer fill, empty hopper, and it's supposed to get stuck, right? Is a cutter head being used? Which ore is this?
⎛⎝LOTOR⎠⎞ 18 Jun, 2018 @ 3:35am 
rhywden is right
Rhywden 17 Jun, 2018 @ 6:24am 
There seems to be a bug with higher tier drills. Anything up to and including Magnetic Drills will work but when you begin to use Fusion ones, you run into problems.
Issue basically looks like this: At some point the extractor will run out of space in the nearby container. It will then begin to store ore internally, the size of the stack stored is dependent on the drill tier (i.e. ~20 for no drill, ~32 for basic drill, ...). If the upper limit is reached the drill will stop.
If the external containers then become empty first the internal drill stack will be emptied.
Only then will the drill begin to mine again.
With Fusion Heads what happens is this instead: The internal stack is drained. If you open the UI of the drill with "E" you will then see the icon of a single lump of ore with _no_ number next to it and the drill will still say "Out of space" even though it is indeed empty

This mod will now work again on the current release version P20. Post any isses here.
Mad Vandal  [author] 8 Jun, 2018 @ 4:33am 
If you're willing to give me workshop contributor access I can update these for you. PM me on discord.
Tricky!  [author] 7 Jun, 2018 @ 11:39am 
I am in the exam period, and wont be fixing anything untill mid-late August... sorry to say guys :/
snap81 2 Jun, 2018 @ 5:54am 
any update on this mod? Thanks in advanced tricky
venoltar 27 May, 2018 @ 3:43pm 
It would seem these have stopped working over the last couple of patches.
Mad Vandal  [author] 26 Apr, 2018 @ 6:17pm 
Tricky! - I sent you PM on discord. FC has new mod interfaces for ore extractors and ESMS will be switching over in the next few weeks.
shawo5677 10 Mar, 2018 @ 2:08pm 
Thank's for the update ! <3
BorninUSSR 7 Mar, 2018 @ 3:08pm 
Thank you very much for update!!! Works fine for me. Except it breaks mod for more durability on cutting heads. Probably mods interference. But who cares about heads, if you have unlimited ore! :steammocking:
Tricky!  [author] 7 Mar, 2018 @ 11:21am 
Finished early, much earlier. Everything just works, so it seems.

I would love for some of you with more time to test it more, and if any bugs are present, please let me know

The updated version should have been pushed to the workshop now :)
AlbertaA 7 Mar, 2018 @ 10:12am 
Awesome! Nice work tricky! personally best mod ever
Tricky!  [author] 7 Mar, 2018 @ 10:09am

The mod is working, i am finalizing the testing, and it should be up here by tomorow! :)
BorninUSSR 6 Mar, 2018 @ 8:14am 
Thanks for message!
Tricky!  [author] 6 Mar, 2018 @ 8:03am 
I am working on it, but i got into some complications. I am waiting to hear from DJArcas, about some of the code, some of which i dont currently have acess to, when i get that, i will update it. Untill then, you will just have to wait
ripnew 6 Mar, 2018 @ 7:08am

@tricky how's the update comming?
M-98 black widow 28 Feb, 2018 @ 11:52pm 
thanks a ton just came here to ask if you had a timeframe to see that your already working on a fix. :)
Tricky!  [author] 25 Feb, 2018 @ 1:06pm 
Update: I will have to remake this mod entirely, not that this is much different to fixing the stuff that are broken, but it will take some more time. If i have time, and everything goes to plan i will have a working version by friday :)
MightyEagle 25 Feb, 2018 @ 12:48pm

Hydraxo 23 Feb, 2018 @ 9:24am 
Amazing mod! Love it. Unfortunately it stopped working with p18. I know your busy guy @Tricky! but I hope you can check this back and fix it. Thanks in advance and keep up the amazing work :)
snap81 21 Feb, 2018 @ 1:12pm 
It's cool I understand. Thanks for the reply.
Tricky!  [author] 21 Feb, 2018 @ 7:53am 
I can take a look at it, but i wont promise anything, i am a full time university student, and realy dont have much time for my mods any more. But i will take a look at it this weekend
snap81 20 Feb, 2018 @ 9:05am

Tim2162286 16 Feb, 2018 @ 2:45pm
