Troubleshooting egg droppers


Recommended Posts

So I noticed that my pufts were not reproducing as they should, and I tracked the problem down to my egg droppers, yet I cannot find any reason why they should not work.  The weirdest part is only some of the egg droppers don't work, as my dreko hatcheries are doing just fine, while my puft and hatch ones are empty, eggs dying in the conveyor receptacle.  I have tried rebuilding the sweepers receptacles, various storage types to call for the sweeper to pull the eggs, and reloading the game multiple times each, so unless this is some new bug that makes sweeper arms not work in specific locations on the map or something, I don't *think* this is a bug.  Can anyone find something I missed?  Am I blind?  Am I going crazy?(Probably, but that's a separate matter AFAIK)

I have made a discovery!  Sweepers will not take from a receptacle to load a conveyor on the same line, presumably to prevent infinite loops, but you can bypass it with a conveyor bridge.  This still does not explain why it wouldn't load a storage container, and yes I did have it on a tile, figured out they nerfed that trick.  I can at least confirm this solved my egg dropper problem, not sure how well known this little quirk is, but it's news to me.
