Asteroid collector not collecting all chunks

Post by mike5533 »

Good day,
I am sitting in Nauvis Orbit creating and dropping Calcite to the planet. My calcite factory isn't keeping up with the demands to the planet, so I tried to find out what is wrong.
My understanding is the Asteroid Collector should (if no filter applied and has power) collect everything within its range that it can until the storage is full.

I am trying to find out why some of my collectors only collect some of the time.
The platform is fusion powered and only consumes ~10Mw of the available 100Mw. The collector is Epic so it has 4 collection arms and a storage space of 54.
Thoughts?

1. Not a power issue.
2. Not a filter issue.
3. Not a storage issue.

Also see 124971 Asteroid chunk is sometimes ignored by collector.

Most likely affected by asteroid collector optimization done in 2.0.26 (see 118736 Endgame trip to Shattered Planet is incredibly laggy).
