Can't get reactors to behave
I have a small reactor on a docked vessel. Named 'Small: [Uranium:1]'. Conveyor is off. Whenever it docks, it gets up to one U.

I have two large reactors on my platform. Tried to name them anything. ' Large: [Uranium:10]' 'Small:[Ingot/Uranium:1]' - basically you may assume I really tried them all.

I tried it with conveyor sytem on and off. I tried /Sort faction. I tried changing ownership.

The damned things just keep eating uranium. Unless I turn the conveyors off.Then they eat nothing.

Really, what am I doing wrong! I'm going mental here.

Turn conveyor off, name the reactor something like:
Small Reactor: (Exempt, Ingot/Uranium:10)

you could also get really fancy and go with something like: Reactor: [Exempt, Ingot/Uranium:10:Split] that would split up the uranium on the pull evenly between your reactors so you don't end up with 9 in one and 0 in another when you run low. Just a thought, you can make this stuff as complicated or as simple as you want to. :)

I can't get them to behave either. Trying both of your two ideas does nothing.:squirtmeh:

Recheck ownership, hmm... check word spacing also. You could try shutting all other generators down to troubleshoot the uranium eater.

I re-read your OP. With the convyer turned on the default game mechanics work and the reactors will "eat" uranium ingots until they reach whatever Keen's pre-determined number is, (I don't remember it off the top of my head). When you turn the convyer off then you rely soley on the mod to move the ingots. So turn off the convyer on the reactors, and mess with the names till you get them right. You can also turn on the debug option on the mod and see a log file to figure out what's wrong.

Thanks for your help guys.

In the end it was like my wife always says - I have my priorities mixed up. :D
