I was going to post a similar issue but having trouble duplicating. Seems random so far. I have a train BP and sometimes when I put it down and build the train it will also lose the group. Schedule/group are paremeterized. I have to delete then repeat the process and it will usually work the second ...

You can middle click with an item in hand to reserve that slot in a train cart for a specific item.
If that works for you, you can setup those carts so all the slots are reserved for specific item(s) so the copper can never get inserted into those carts period.


That's an idea anyway ...

Not necessarily a bug. Inserters finish dropping what they are holding when disabled.

But seeing this use case I believe it is better to have them keep the item in hand if disabled.
This change will break some contraptions, but let me ...

Another thought, I'm not sure why we can't just read the state of an inserter (disabled, waiting to drop item, etc.) then have the ability to control the inserter behavior based on its status. Maybe some UPS/performance consideration. I assume this was discussed somewhere over the last 7-8 years.

Duplicate, said to be "not a bug" in 2019 67508


I skimmed through most of that and wasn't able to find where it said not a bug. Looks like they made a change to it way back in alpha 0.15.22 then reverted in 0.15.23 when a bunch of people had their entire factory break. I wasn't totally clear ...

I have inserters at a loading station disabled through a circuit condition. They will only enable when a train is sitting at the station and only if the train id does not match my "personal" train. I wanted to be able to stop at stations without having to worry about accidentally loading my train ...

I've checked verbose logging and auto upload in case I get another crash. Doesn't look like I'll be able to duplicate this specific crash.

Also realized I put the wrong version as I was looking at the previous log file when grabbing the version. Crash happened on 2.0.12. Updated subject to reflect correct version.

That's the only log file created for the session. The previous log file was for the multiplayer session I played yesterday. I'm guessing the crash prevented it from writing anything to the log.

Was standing next to a storage logistics chest an assembler 3 is inserting blue circuits into with an active logistics hub in range. I had just placed a spare modular armor in personal trash and have a single logistics rule to pick up 400-800 normal green/red circuits and 100-200 normal blue ...
