ARC FRUNACE/REFINERY NOT REFINING

hi im making this thread because in my space engineers survival world the refineries and all other component/resource-making blocks are not working. please if you can provide tips or related stories.

 

Are your conveyors connected? do you have power? Do you have ore?

A picture can speak volumes.....

 

I have all three

 

does your reactor have uranium? Honestly it sounds like you just came over from creative and are expecting things to work the same way. Please take a picture of your setup via steam and send us the link.

 

Hi,

I tested it and cannot reproduce it. Could you please send me the world? Thank you.

 

I'm having similar problems since v 105. It seems that my refinery at some point in time past latched onto one particular ore. In my case, it was platinum. It refined all the platinum. No matter how I arranged other ores, it would not refine them. It only refined the platinum. When the platinum ran out, it stopped. Other ores were in the refinery's ore queue, but it ignored them. If I turn on the conveyor system, it does not pull.

If I empty the refinery and place one blob of maybe 1000 kg of an ore of my choice, it does nothing.

If I turn "use conveyor" on, the refinery pulls a full load of various ores and refines nothing.

If I cycle refinery power (toggle block on/off), it does nothing.

There is, on the ingot side, 1481/7500 space used up.

I checked the refinery for damage. It is currently undamaged. However, earlier in the game--before I noticed the problem, it did take a few rounds from a drone. I repaired the refinery at that time and did not notice any problems, but was not trying to make any changes to the refinery's queue either. The problem may have been created at this point.

If I empty the refinery completely then destroy the refinery and build anew....hold on...I'm doing this on the fly.

...I can refine nothing. Game over.

...then you will get broken refinery at the next logon in DS.

So, I have a small collection:

Has anyone picked through their savegame to find the muffed data? That's where I'm headed.

 

Have this problem stick ore in empty ref/ark the ref/arc does nothing reload world ref/ark now works till empty then put more in ref/ark does nothing rince repeat.

 

Initially: fresh world with three blocks (armor, reactor, refinery) in MP-Friends mode. Refinery did not work at the next logon. Then I have downloaded the SE version 01.104.011, rewrote the number in savegame and started it. Refinery works well. Then I took back all steps with fresh new 01.104.011 world to 01.106.011. And refinery did not work at the next logon again. So, savegame is not shows anything and I wonder why Phand cannot reproduce this.

P.S. I have some problems with English and I hope that everything was clear.

 

I am having the same problem since version 1.105.
The refineries on my ship simply stopped working. There is power and there is raw ore inside them, but they dont work anymore.
I tried reloading, but it didn`t help.
The only solution I found was to destroy the ship and build another one.
Later on, it happened with the second ship the same...

 

I believe I have a solution. I have published it here:

Now the ugly bit: I still had to tear down and rebuild all my refineries, but what was bugged and completely dead is now working. I don't know if it will bug again, but so far so good. I've been on 2 mining runs and thrown stuff in the refineries.

EDIT: It broke again. Nevermind.

 

you know............... this game used to be fun, now it's just getting ridiculous. Do they play test their releases before putting the out? I've gone from playing survival to playing with no block damage cause of connectors, then I had to completely switch to playing in creative. and now even creative is almost impossible to play with breaking drills, asteroids so farked you can't even see what the heck your drilling and now...... you can't even refine what you had a hard time mining? This is just getting beyond frustrating now I'm I'm really just tempted to give up on this game. Spending hours building my first real big ship and can even enjoy it now. funny..... can't even mine some damn nickel to make a bottle for this blasted hydrogen jetpack now so I'm stuck lolol. Keen............... I'm putting you on time out, this is just stupid now >_>.

 

It's not a problem in your save file, there's a bug in the game engine. Hopefully Keen will fix it this Thursday. Of course, you always have the option of sorting through the source code and fixing it yourself

 

I'm having the same issue with my survival games.

 

I can confirm the latest patch. I've tried grinding and replacing but will not refine without a reload. the refinery still requests from inventory but no worky. even tried setting owner to no one and back.

 

I am having the same problem, My refinery works for like 10 minutes processing about half of what I put in there then stops. Nothing I do will restart it. Sometimes when I reload the game it will start working again but then stop shortly after. I first noticed it after I loaded up one of my older worlds that I had not played since before the last patch everything worked now it does not. I made a whole new world under the new patch and same problem, it just stops processing. yAs for the previous posters who stated that the refinery, arc furnace, assembler need to be connected in order to work is simply not true. You can run each machine independantly as long as they have power, the trade off is just you have to work more to transfer from one machine to another. Please address this issue Keen my space engineer fingers are twitching.

 

Having same bug , refs and arcs not working, power on , enough space , enough ore , all is ok , when close game and reload sometimes helps.
What funny is when loading world , seems like it isntantly refines that ore that was in the que

 

Hi guys thx for all your reports were working on this and it should be resolved in tomorrows hotfix! Thx for keeping up!

 

Do we have access to the source code? If so, I'll dive in. I just have the .sbc files that I can edit.

 

Seems to be solved now
