Simple way to prevent asteroid collector from overfilling

[gGeorg]

"reprocessing" as usually i prevent my ships from collecting too much, and thus no reprocessing is needed.

re-processing is a method how to get missing type of resource
re-processing is not smart method to over-collecting

Exactly ! that's why i don't usually do it, because it would imply i have collected wrong ressources but that doesn't happen with filtered collector, my spaceship don't waste energy to transform the junk, it just doesn't collect it.

Your comments are increasingly ridiculous.

I was thinking the same thing when reading yours x) Maybe it's because of langage barrier that your point seems to make no sense to me , i will try to explain to you one more time why i feel you are not understanding the thread or pushing some unrelated (bad) habits you have for whatever reason.

Again i agree, but then why do you mention it in a thread that's about over-collecting prevention ? That makes you sound "not smart" since as you said it's not a smart method to use x).

This topic is only showing a method to keep balanced collectors. This is because many tiny ships do not even use belt storage !

I generally don't find it useful to do both "a selection of which chunk to pick up from space" AND "reprocessing" as usually i prevent my ships from collecting too much, and thus no reprocessing is needed.

There is nothing related to crushers, nor reprocessing, this is only about the asteroid collector, it shows a method that makes no sense used in conjunction with reprocessing, because it prevent the asteroid grabber to grab junk ressources that would be reprocessed later. There's nothing to reprocess if you prevent your collector from overfilling. What isn't needed for the ship isn't collected.

I understand you have a system where you collect junks, put it on a belt and reprocess it, that is your choice but has nothing to do with "Simple way to prevent asteroid collector from overfilling". Your system means your asteroid grabbers are going to actively lose time catching asteroid like "ice" when you need "iron" because you think reprocessing ice into iron, but when it does it's inefficient use of the asteroid collector, because it could have been collecting "iron" directly.

If you have a good way to select what the asteroid grabbers will pick as i tried to show on this thread, it will be more efficient that the suboptimal choice of picking evrey chunk on the asteroid collector, to then put "too much" of it on a belt so it is available for reprocessing into another type.

I am not sure why you insist on explaining the suboptimal method (imo) you use, when it's unrelated to the thread. Is it because you think it's related ? Or you wanted to talk about it and didn't find a place for it ? want some more advices ?

( i even posted a blueprint of a ship so you can see for yourself )
