So each of the 2 Miners have no Conveyor piece on them, just 5 stacked small containers right onto the port.
If I sit there at the Mining Site Location, those 2 Miners will fill up normally just like the 2 Large Containers with the conveyors hooked. While at the Site, everything is normal and the 2 sepporite Miners will fill the 5 storage stacks on each one.
Now, If I leave the location to go to somewhere else, like back to base. Only the 2 Large Containers with the Conveyor system will continue to fill it's storage setup. The 2 sepporite Miners with the 5 each small containers attached, will not, I repeat Will Not Fill. They seem to just pause and do nothing the whole time I'm gone.
So I suppose that's a bug. Where systems with no Conveyor blocks stop working at a distance.
Thanks. Good hunting.

I am now doing a simple Edit to the 2 Miners, by putting 1 conveyor block in between the 5 stack of small storage, to see if that actually is the issue. Since I'm at the mining site right now, I'll know in about half an hour.
