Hello again, 1. What did you do?
Playing the game as usual. Nothing special, expanding the factory on Fulgora.

2. What happened?
The filtergroup or whatever it's called, that I created for this planet keeps resetting or is out of sync between chests. Initially I thought it's linked to the auto save but then while recording I couldn't reproduce it but after checking each chest I noticed that I's some chest that are out of sync. I am not sure if this is due to me copy pasting the machine setup or replacing the request chest with a buffer chest. Could be linked to either of those two actions.

3. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expected the filter groups to be in sync and avoid scraping / recycling stuff that I don't want that is requested by the buffer chest.

4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Unclear. I noticed it yesterday and I don't know how to reproduce it right now. Closing and reopening the game does not cause any change that either fixes or worsens the situation.

Other details:
I have unlocked the first 3 planets (Vulcanus, Gleba, Fulgora) and landed on each to build my factories.

My random speculations and thoughts.
This might be an issue linked to the replacement of the blue logistic chest by a green buffer chest or a copy and pasting. But funnily enough they have the exact same name, at least as far as it looks to me.

About the attachments
I added 10 pictures which show each of the 10 buffer chests that use the same filter group.

Not sure where to get the world file but I can include it if it helps with the investigation. I can also record a quick video to show you all the steps that I would take to reproduce the issue but it seems that just closing and reopening already does the trick to reproduce.

Post the save please, see 3638.

Here is the latest save file. I double checked and the bug is still there. Let me know if you need anything else.

Playing around, it's the bottom right chest that's bugged.
Its connection to "Cleanup Recycling Fulgora" logistic group is somehow only one-way - changing the group in this chest updates other chests' group contents, but updating the group in another chest does not update this chest's group.
(Devs would have to look into chest's internals.)

Yeah hard to analyse how the issue came to be. I could try and find an older save to find something in between but not sure if I still have an older copy of my save. I would need to look into it if it's of interest or use at all.

I'm curious. Did you guys find anything yet or got something I should try or do?

Hey,
Got a small update. I'm playing on 2.0.28 now I just noticed that it happened again with 2 other chests. I have attached the latest save file and a screenshot marking the containers with the issue.

Screenshot of the containers
I have also noticed that apparently it only see's one of the two containers in the sum. Strangely enough initially I removed all but one of them and included them in the new recycling line and then copy pasted (CTRL + C, selecting, letting go of the keys then CTRL + V, left click) it to have the same container to load the other side as well Also Merry Christmas guys. Take a break and don't overwork yourselfs.

Ok i was able to reproduce the issue. My reproduction is that when a ghost of logistic container is removed and undo, then the logistic section is no longer linked to the logistic section group which is causing all the issues that arise from that.

This is now fixed for the next release.
