Magic recover no longer able to connect belts

@Andre Aquila <Aquila Industrial> just noticed after latest update to where receiver can now handle fluids, you can only connect a pipe to it and not a belt.

Hey Rdc. I think now you have to select a solid before connecting it. But i will fix it in the next version.

Ah ok sorry, did not test that far was just testing the liquids. But then was just curious about belts as the build BP was only showing a pipe output thing Also matey just noticed in the description of receiver that it doesn’t work on stack of 1 items but I’ve had them easily transfer portable miners and all sorts before, there was only a couple of items if I recall it couldn’t transfer but I forget what it was.

Hmm, i think i will fix now to accept any material. Im changing the speed of them a little too now.. im releasing a new version. Im hoping that this will not interfere with the performance of the game.

piggybacking on this error report, since I'm also a big fan of the magic splitter mod and having some trouble with it, and am avidly following the recent updates.. as of version 2.0.30 the magic receiver is not sending water to pipes. the interface on the splitter end says the receivers are filling with fluid, but the pipes I connect to them are not filling from the receiver. @AndreAquila that said, thank you so much for your many mods, probably 75% of the mods in my load out are made by you, and I love them all. and I'm loving the addition of more options for fluid management to the magic splitter mod. another possible bug I'm having with magic splitter is intermittent issues with loading coal into foundries, it worked when I first got steel development, but once unlocked coal power they stopped working. I'm definitely using magic splitters, not magic generator splitters, because I use magic receivers for all my coal generators, so the coal would split evenly across my steel and my power production. I ended up needing to use magic receivers to get my steel production working again. I'm not sure if this is a bug with magic splitter or a vanilla bug, as there have been reports going back years of the vanilla game having input problems with foundries. as a request, maybe consider a magic fluid splitter for generators the same way you have a magic belt splitter for generators? between liquid fuel and water for coal it would be very nice to magic split liquids directly to my generators.

Thanks for reporting Nikki. Im happy that you like the mods. One of the versions messed a little with foundries because of the groups. But if the magic splitter are not in a group ( the checkbox ), it shouldn't hiding the foundries. Im looking into the water in magic receiver pipes now That's the next step. The idea is mix generators and manufacturers/receivers into the same magic splitter. But as they work a little different im having a hard time to make it work properly and without hurting the performance

the v30 changed the size of the buffer of the fluid receiver. You have to fill it more to start distributing... but should work https://i.imgur.com/s71M6fL.png

Maybe dismantling and constructing again the magic splitters , they will see the foundries again https://i.imgur.com/zHl3AL6.png

shows all the recievers full. the reciever connected to water here. I've dismantled the receivers, the splitters and the pipes and rebuilt them and it will not fill.

it's single player. I have been playing the file for a couple weeks, so magic splitter has updated from version 2.0.25 or so since I started the file, not sure if that could be causing complications. I have lots of splitters and receivers all over the map, and have only dismantled and rebuilt the ones I have been trying to use for water, not all the other ones I have all over the place. about half way through gathering the materials for phase 4 of the elevator, and now that the foundry problem is resolved am having no other issues with magic splitter. thanks for looking into this. later today when I have some free time I'll start a new file and progress to water pumps and see if I'm having the issue on my new file. just to see if it's something about this save specifically.

Omg... Nikki, if you can, dm me your savegame or modlist. Maybe something that changes stack or turn fluids in gas. But i want to fix it asap. It never worked in your save, or since 0.30?

the locations of the receivers I've been try to make work (building in crosshairs of picture 1) my main water production site (picture 2) and my complete modlist (picture 3) I was using simple fluid teleporter before you updated magic receiver to do fluids. I'll DM you my save file as soon as I find it.
