Turn off the first two refineries, it will fill up then.

 

Yeah, that and buy some production bots for the collectors, and make sure you have the power for the collectors, as even with the green and pink refineries on you should have some terbium and endurium and prometium pouring out.

 

Its hard for the collectors to catch up if the refineries are running. I am at the same point on one of my servers. I do an upgrade for Seprom and then turn the refineries off for a couple of days. The collectors fill up WAY before the Seprom is ready for the next upgrade.

 

Thats the point I cant and havent upgraded anything for 3 weeks. My Prometid, Duranium, Promerium, and Seprom. were all full till last night when I transferred 3000 seprom to ship. But my Prometium (1,765,023), Endurium (4,568,054),And Terbium (3,731,078) never move from them numbers. There stuck there making it impossible for me to upgrade my seprom level

Prometium lvl 20	Endurium lvl 20	Terbium lvl 20	Prometid lvl 20	Duranium lvl 20	Xenomit lvl 20	Promerium lvl 20	Seprom lvl 18
1,765,023	4,568,054	3,731,078	998,703	998,703	0​	99,870	8,533
19,974,063	19,974,063	19,974,063	998,703	998,703	0​	99,870	9,079

I will post new numbers later today and you will see what Im talking about. Now keep in mind i did send seprom last night. But once seprom is full the first 3 will not move!

 

Ok, so like I said, turn off the Prometid and Duranium refineries. Turn off Promerium too if you are not transfering any of it to ship. That way, the collectors fill up, the prometid and duranium do not deplete and you can start upgrading your Seprom in a day or two.

 

Thank you both for assisting with this thread.

Red_Blood_0102, have you tried some of the suggestions above, and if so, are you having any further problems/issues with your skylab?

Did it work? please for future references

 

All are on but the seprom. As you see the numbers have not changed much. And they have not moved at all since I turned off the seprom refinery.

Prometium: 1,805,517 19,974,063

Endurium: 4,608,548 19,974,063

Terbium: 3,812,076 19,974,063

Prometid: 998,703 998,703

Duranium: 998,703 998,703

Xenomit: 0 99,870

Promerium: 99,870 99,870

Seprom: 8,612 9,079

The collectors have moved a mere 41k in 3 days at level 20 with 12 efficiency bots active on all 3. So to answer your question ddraig Yes still a problem that needs looked into!

 

You need to switch off your prometid and duranium refineries otherwise anything the collectors produce will just get used up by these even if they are full, the resources still get used.

 

If the sep collector is off and everything else is full there is nothing that should be being used. How would him shutting of them 2 change anything. if nothing is using the resources then nothing should be being used. He clearly stated the sep collector is off. Something is not right with his skylab! They should refine 416126 units each a day in the first 3 refiners. He has only got 41k in 3 days do the math

 

The Refineries still use resources regardless of whether or not they are storing the refined items. I have confirmed this on a game account. When the refineries were on, the numbers barely moved. With the refineries off, there was a considerable jump in just a few minutes. My guess is that the materials refined by the refineries go to the landfill if there is not enough space to keep them, but they are still produced regardless.

Does the OP have any further questions on this topic or may we close?

Well if this i fact the case then that makes some of the skylab features pointless. And not what it is intended for! It should not at any point make more then what it is capable of holding. If it does then that really needs looked into as that is wasting useful resources on your end. But back to the subject of waiting for the op to post his findings.

 

It is truly a waste but it is how the skylab works. Collectors feed into the first two refineries, which feed into the Promerium refinery, which ultimately feeds into Seprom when it is on.

 

Well here is the tail of the tape 7-14-15

Prometium: 1,805,510 19,974,063	Endurium: 4,608,541 19,974,063	Terbium: 3,812,069 19,974,063	Prometid: 998,703 998,703	Duranium: 998,703 998,703	Xenomit: 0 99,870	Promerium: 99,870 99,870	Seprom: 8,612 9,079
ON​	ON​	ON​	OFF​	OFF​	ON​	OFF​	OFF​

So Lets see what tomorrow brings.

 

Did you miss the hole convo? We are not talking about what feeds what. We are talking about the lab producing after it is full. It should not produce more then what it can hold at any given time. That is why Raijin said it goes to the landfill (Trash). This means somewhere it has to be running a collecting number. Maybe not on our end but on the server end which is using resources that could be used elsewhere.

 

Well the skylab has started to work as of today. But Parasite is correct in theory! I think of it like a gas tank you can only fill it so full till its overflowing and wasting it. So maybe they need to look into placing a cap on the skylab so it dont overflow and waste server space. You can close ty

 

Closing as requested.

Thanks for everyone's help and input.
