Priorities not functioning across container types
Refinery [Ore:P5] sucks iron before Arc Furnace [Ore:P1] and also before Arc Furnace [Ore:P10]

I've used all the operators I can think of as well as distilling it as simple as I can and aside from :split making them share, there's nothing I can to do make Refineries stop grabbyhandsing ore that the Arc Furnace is better at handling.

Additionally, when I change priorities after the incorrect pull, the Arc Furnace doesn't pull the ore out of the Refinery (even the ore in question is not the current production item)

I can't figure this out. Needs video tutorial.

Yea the first refinery just vacuums anything it can get, operators be darned, ignoring priorities disregarding whether something's conveyor settings are on or off, everything. This mod simply doesn't work.

I changed how priorities worked, but maybe this is not working properly for you, and my test case isn't picking up the issue.

You have a refinery and 2 arc furnaces, and the refinery is taking everything before the arc furnaces no matter what you set for priority? I will look at it, but I just tried a few tests cases and could not replicate the problem.

I just tried it and did this:

Arc [Ore:P2]
Refinery [Ore:P5]
Refinery [Ore:P10]

No matter where I moved the ore, the ore always moved back to the arc furnace. So I'm obviously missing something. Can you setup a test situation with the refinery and arc furnaces like you have setup above. Type /sort debug, then move iron somewhere for the refineries to pick up? Once it moves, can you put the log file on pastebin.com so I can see what's occuring? (Log file is at: %appdata%/spaceengineers/storage/321588701.sbm_SimpleInventorySort)

And also I'm assuming you're setting ownership of all the refineries to "Me" correct?

"Me" ownership all items, "share with all"

One thing I noticed was that the refinery was always the top refinery in the unsorted inventory, which was coincidentally "refinery" ('refinery 1') and the Arc Furnace (mine was named Arc Furnace, not just Arc) was at the bottom of the listings. I'll check up and see what develops. The debug item is good too. Will advise.

Well, using any sort commands threw everyone out of the game and made it royally freak out as far as any multiplayer...

Otherwise, I'm not sure what it actually did. http://pastebin.com/sjugM2NY

OKAY I got somewhere. Need to clarify that there is no space after comma (which makes sense but isn't immediately apparent) and also need to clarify exact syntax for each of the different categories of modifiers, operators, etc.

I guess and checked a mess of combinations, but now I think I have it!!
