I’ve been testing the conveyor system with grinders in Space Engineers, and I keep running into a problem. In my setup, all grinders are correctly connected through conveyor tubes, conveyor junctions, and cargo containers. Everything is powered, it’s on a large grid, and all the ports are lined up exactly as they should be. Despite that, the vanilla grinders do not push items into the cargo system when I enable Automatic Push/Pull (which is the “Use conveyor system” option).
To rule out mistakes, I tested multiple configurations:
- Grinder → Conveyor Tube → Cargo Container
- Grinder → Conveyor Junction → Cargo Container
- Grinder → Conveyor Tube → Conveyor Junction → Cargo Container
In all cases the items just stay in the grinder’s inventory instead of being transferred automatically.
To make sure conveyors themselves weren’t broken, I tried a modded grinder (the Energy Blade Grinder). That one actually does push components directly into my cargo containers without any issue — which proves that the conveyor system itself is functional. But when I switch back to the original vanilla grinders, the items no longer transfer.
So far I’ve checked:
- Game is running in Survival, not Creative.
- Conveyor system is enabled in the world settings.
- Cargo containers are not full.
- There is power across the entire grid.
- Items can be moved manually between grinder and cargo when inventories are open.
- Automatic Push/Pull is enabled on all grinders.
In short: everything is connected properly, the system works with a modded grinder, but vanilla grinders refuse to push items into the conveyor system.
the one modded i used and worked is: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2976903828
I hope some one has a clue what is going on.

I wasted so many hours trying to make my grinder ship work again its stopped me playing it completely
So I really hope it won't take long fir said hotfix

Note: The end of the video I missed the inventory when trying to move it back, but you can see it would have worked b/c the inventory wasn't greyed out haha-

I have the same bug with an existing world. Items can be moved freely but sorters did not move items around. I also tested with Isy's inventory manglement script and it did not recognize the items in the grinder either. I was forced to manually move items to empty them.
When the grinder was full it dropped components on the ground instead of moving them to one of multiple connected cargo blocks.

Algae farms don't push either.

Seems more people are starting to notice this issue. Its strange the grinders were not tested before release being that you have been showcasing said new block. Which btw actually looks awesome. This is the only game I have been playing for a very long time as their is just do much do do,create. Plus the engineering like working out the correct speed,torque & break torque for rotors n things. Make everything I make so much more rewarding knowing I solved this or I solved that issue.
Let's hope hotfix comes out very soon as I'm really excited to play but have alot of grinding to do so need my ship working again
