It works flawlessly in single-player survival mode. I haven't checked it in multiplayer mode yet.

I'll check it again. Thanks for letting me know. Here's the ion version (it's the original design): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1880569499

I discovered the same thing with some other blueprints. They must have changed the way the sorters and ejecters work just a little. You should make an ion version of this ship. It does work really well (exept I could not get the sorters to work correctly) :-)

I've been playing multiplayer lately (something I've never done before), and I discovered that ejectors require having both "collect all" and "throw out" enabled for them to work. I *never* had this problem in single-player mode. I need to update all my designs to fix that problem.

To answer your question about sorters, I used to do it that way (i.e., only having a single sorter than ejected waste stone out of a single connector from the container), but I found that having multiple sorter/ejector locations (ideally, two per drill) will dump stone almost as fast as it collected. Yeah, the PCU is greater this way, but much more efficient/effective overall.

I hope all this makes sense.

There are many ways to get it done; I've found this method to be the best.

I Like this sip a LOT. Sorters seem to be having an issue. Drills fill up and will not pick up any more ore. Some sorters are white listed for stone going to the ejecters. Blacklisted stone prevents it from go9ing to the containers. Why not just have sorters on the containers and drain the stone from the containers. Might save a step.

Fixed the four small hydrogen tanks in the rear; they were upside-down... :steamfacepalm:
