I'm seeing the same issue in a seablock game. Random inserters will get stuck. First 3 times it was a filter inserter, and added a irrelevant item to the filter would clear the block but it would happen again later, likewise changing the drop offset (using bobs adjustable inserters) will cause it to...

advanced glass smelting 1 gives me:
4 silicon ore -> 4 glass mixture -> 40 molten glass -> 2 glass
So, I need to go through 3 processing steps to get less finished product, what am I missing?

Also keep in mind that we are currently playing with 0.14.22, not 0.14.0. So there has in fact been a bunch of releases since 0.14 went live. They just have a fixed list of features they want to have implemented for 0.15. You might ask why they didn't just release those different features as they go...

Is no spoon meant to be done on default settings or is it pretty normal to go to easier settings? I got mine with just standard settings, did however restart more than a dozen times to get a decent starting position. Most of them had way too little oil (I want to count 16 nodes as a minimum), one l...
