Platform Connector and Sorter Problems

Good Evening Keen Development Team,


I have attached some screenshots of the issue that I am currently experiencing in the space engineers game. I have noticed that the sorters, neither the vanilla sorter block nor the industrial dlc block, is draining the platform connector's inventory to the connected cargo container and refinery.

This system is designed to have a mining ship dock on the left platform connector with a sorter that has the *ore, stone, and scrap metal on a whitelist and the drain all is on. It has a bulk cargo container and a refinery on the other side of that sorter with a seperate sorter that will drain only ingots into a second bulk cargo container then lastly a third sorter block to drain all the ingots to the transport ship platform connector. Neither of the platform connectors work. But if I switch the platform connector to an inset connector, the sorters 'drain' function performs as intended.

I do have mods in this world but I was able to recreate the issue in a vanilla creative world with zero mods and scripts running. The martian world that i provided has no scripts running on this grid to interfere with the sorters functionality.

Everything moves correctly if I manually move the ores and stone into the ores container or the refinery, even the middle ingots sorter functions properly automatically draining the refinery of its ingots but their sorter also doesn't drain the ingots into the platform connector. I have attached a small cargo container on the tradeship platform connector's conveyor block in an effort to see if that will get the last sorter block to push the ingots into that connector but it does not function at all while the platform connector is in between the small container block.

I am emailing this as an fyi, i love the platform blocks and wish to continue to use them, but i won't be able to use the connector version until this is fixed. It won't hinder my current game, I will simply use an inset connector and build a platform around it until the platform blocks are fixed.

I play on PC through Steam, steam id titan_noble.

Thank you for this game's continued development and looking into this issue!
