Factorio Forums

Hello,

encountered this small but nevertheless very annoying bug after updating from 12.1 to 12.2. After a cargo wagon pulls infront of the standard loading station I always used since I can not remember for how long already, sometimes(?) some(?) of the inserters refuse to load the cargo. Manually replacing or rotating the inserters seems to solve the problem.

My client is modded with recourse spawner overhaul and marathon mods, both of which seemed to have 0 influence on inserters. The bug happens without using the said mods, too.

From what I have observed, this happens if an inserter is "stuck" in the air with an item in it, when the wagon gets full/drives away. In other word, a "full" inserter refuses to continue working after the traincar arrives again. Not sure if the same goes for stationary containers, was too lazy to try out. Also not sure if that happened in 0.12.1, since I started with rail networks only in 0.12.2 in my current save.

I have attached 3 screenshots - a screenshot of 3 out of 8 inserters not loading the cargo, a screenshot of the wagon not being full while the said situation happens, and screenshot of the replaced inserters working again.

Can you upload the save game in the broken state? I'm not able to reproduce this issue.

I'm having a very similar (identical?) issue. Seems like normal inserters are ok (although sometimes do get stuck, turning them around fixes the problem).
Fast inserters, on the other hand - I can't get to work.

I'm uploading my save, along with required mods (RSO, FARL and RailTanker in my case). Look at the fast-inserter putting curved rail, right where the player is standing.
Saved game file is called 'rso-0.12.zip'

MD5 (for paranoid donwloaders )

Note: I just noticed that in my case the train is technically running, although the next stop does not exist. However, even stopping the train doesn't wake up the sleeping inserter.

Ah, well if the train's running that's expected. It not waking up inserters even through it's stationary when switching it to manual mode would be the bug in this case (if that's happening - I haven't tested yet).

Hmmm, I can not reproduce that today anymore. Maybe it is because I restarted factorio first time after 9-10h of play?
Nevertheless, I guess this should be moved to unconfirmed bugs until I manage to reproduce and save the state, so you can analyse the situtation. Thank you for your tie nevertheless.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for 0.12.4.

MD5 signatures have been cracked, paranoid people require a more secure hash like SHA-256.
