I have separate triggers set for each player, but they only seem to work for Player 1 (although I've only tried this with Players 1 & 2)
Any reason why this could happen?
None.

[SOLVED] Triggers not working for some Players
I have it set so that when Player X owns Y amount of Refineries he gains Z amount of Minerals per turn

The issue is that you are resetting the timer under "All Players." If you understand how trigger order works, you'd see the problem with this.
Player 1's refinery trigger runs, and then Player 1 also runs the trigger to reset the timer. Since the timer is no longer at 0, players 2-6 do not get their refinery trigger to execute.
Change the owner of the Timer trigger from "All Players" to "Player 8" (assuming player 8 is a computer player).

Okay, thanks. This makes a lot of sense now. Hopefully I won't run into any more problems

I originally had them all grouped together like that, but for some reason I thought that might be a problem so I split them apart to see if it would change anything
None.
I highly recommend reading through this article:

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?[2026-5-31. : 6:47 pm]
