i searched in the forum but i couldnt find something that would help me, so im trying to make a new post.
i apologize if i overlooked the right post maybe.
since factario is a game for atomation everything i tried to do this witch the labors.
so i worked on a really really complex (maybe i did something wrong) assembly line; 3 each for every automatically forged science pack; into 4 labors. :)
because well if you can let mashines pruduct those science packs why wouldnt it work to refill labors automatically too.
if there is a possibility then please tell me or if not i would be looking forward seeing this in the game soon.
Thx for now, Ruc

You can use inserter to put the science packs on a belt and from a belt into the lab. Or do I miss something? Perhaps you could post a screenshot.

I've seen this before with other things. I destroyed the arms and re-placed them and the new ones (probably in fear of their lives) started working. I'm new at the game so I can never tell if this is a bug or I'm not realizing something I should.

But that did not work

Which tech are you researching? And how far along is the green bar indicating progress?
