Drills moving ore between eachother instead of cargo
Submitted
Built a ship with 9 drills, began mining with it but when the drills get ore, they just spam the ore between the other drills instead of moving it into cargo, the drills have 3 different conveyer access points to cargo, I can move ores into the cargo manually but the drills just decide not to which also causes the game to get like 2 FPS with the inventory screen open

I have the same bug
i have Found a Fix for this, it's because they are Connected Between each other Directly, which makes them Move items to the nearest Inventory being the next Drill which is Connected to the Cockpit or your choice Storage block, simply place a Small Cargo on the back of the Drill or Connect it to one and it goes back to normal

Yea I experienced the same thing in my playthrough, with 2 drills on the Sledge. You can see it the issue in my stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/sHHms4rhxE0?si=kYEJOVUzWNt-Ti-V&t=12096

After mining the only 1 of the drills has ore but then ore switches rapidly between the two. you can see the drill names switching in the inventory screen (Drill Right <--> Drill Left) the only fix is to turn off the ship and move the ore to the cargo yourself! Please fix it as I spent way too long on the ship. Thanks

I've noticed the same issue with only 2 Drills. What is odd is that I can only see one Drill through the control panel/inventory screen. But I can see both are connected to conveyors correctly. I mined Ice and I can see the weight looping between 0t and 3t. It's happening so quickly that I can't select the Ice to move it to a Cargo container.

Same issue. It also means that when you drill, the drills flicker "full" on and off so it rejects a ton of ore making it take forever to mine.

Also same issue, glad someone found a temp fix though!! didn't think to turn ship off and do it that way, would be better if it was fixed in game by keen, but i'm happy to be patient :)

I can confirm this as well using the larger drills available after the missions are completed. I created a new miner with 12 large drills and 2 of the 7.5m cargo containers. The ore is rapidly cycling between the drills and none of it is going to the containers. I have conveyors between the drills like ships from SE 1, but none of the ore has transferred to the cargo containers at all. You can see the flickering in the attached video.
Also I can confirm that turning off the drills from the control panel does also stop the ore moving between drills.
I am also hitting the inventory full message way earlier than expected because the 5.25m drills are hitting the full capacity mark. None of the ore has transferred to the cargo containers as expected. They're all stuck in the drills flickering back and forth.
I can also confirm that turning off the drills and manually transferring the ore to one of the cargo containers does fix the issue temporarily so I can resume mining. The transfer to the cargo container appears to be a one-way move.
On a related note, turning off the drills also seems to fix the inventory scroll issue that I encountered where I was not able to see all the inventories. (Fixing the drill transfer might also fix the scroll issue.)

the same truble exist with smelter if two smelters are connected, they block each other, like the drills.

Yeah, and if i access the cargo if the drills are turned on, the game is a slideshow until i get out, or turn off the drills.

Similar problem experienced on small miner with two drills. It has two 2.5 cargo containers in line. The ore fills the first and then reports 'inventory full'. If I manually move the ore then it will use the cleared space. Both drills unload into the first container
