Bug: Incorrectly waiting for items (I'm sure it's me not a bug)

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Bug: Incorrectly waiting for items (I'm sure it's me not a bug)

Post by Roaders »

Hi All

I'm confused as to why my nuclear plant has stopped working due to spent fuel cells when I have an inserter to remove them:

This works fine most of the time but at the moment I have 2 reactors in this state and I will have to manually remove the spent fuel cell.

Looks like your inserter filter is "spent fuel cell of normal quality", but the reactor has processed an uncommon fuel cell and so there's now an uncommon spent fuel cell.

Change the filter to match "any" quality of fuel cell.

From what I remember, there in so benefit to quality nuclear fuel. Stick to common.

It'll last a bit longer. I think that this was just to use up quality stuff that I had no other use for.

Yes this is the reason!!! Thanks

I only made a few of these because I had some quality ore that I didn't have anything else to do with...

No quality benefit at all

It is quite annoying for me that the default is not "any quality" but common.
