Replicator can't hold enough uu-matter for Iridium

1st Official Post

    I recently set up my replicator-pattern storage-scanner-mass fabricator set up to make some iridium. I have a few iridium from raiding dungeons so I bit it in the scanner which stored the pattern in the pattern storage. The mass fabricator has created enough uu-matter to fill up the replicator, and I selected iridium as the next thing to produce. I also have all the machines set up to a HV- solar array. Despite that the replicator won't start making iridium. I tested it out in single player and I noticed that the replicator tank only holds 16 uu-matter, but the pattern storage says iridium requires something like 40 uu-matter. How do I create Iridium if the Replicator can't hold enough uu-matter to make the iridium?

    Other mods tanks/pipes to the replicator should work.
    Or use a lot of massfabs with Fluid Ejector upgrades.

    Hmm I'll have to test that out when I have the time. I didn't think the replicator could detect UU-matter in other tanks, but that would be the only way to fix the issue.

    It slowly (can be quickened by overclockers, at the cost of more EU) consumes the internal tank to fill the % of UUM to make the material.
    Its internal tank is smaller, just keep feeding it UUM and it will eventually reproduce the iridium.

    The problem is the internal tank is full, I have 48 uu matter waiting, the internal energy store is full, and I have iridium selected, but it still just stay son waiting. It doesn't bring up the uu-matter or energy percentages. So the main problem is that it doesn't even start.


    Nevermind I didn't realize you had to click the green light to start it.
