What did you do?
I played around with crushers, I think I copied one with a metal receipt over another one with a metal receipt or something similar, but don't ask me what I did exactly.

What happened?
There should be three slots only, but it has more now. And every time I click on the "cogs icon" and choose the same receipt the slots get more and more.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
That no new slots get added just by changing the receipt

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It never happend before, it doesn't happen to the other ok ones, but it happens now constantly to the bugged one.

117890 Assembling machine trash slots function as infinite storage fixed trash slots accumulation when recipe changes via circuit network.
It seems you've found that remote changing recipe directly or via copy+paste puts ingredients and products into trash slots but the machine can be fed next ingredients and continue working. (Trying to do it with the player in the vicinity puts the stuff into player's inventory, not trash slots.)

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended. Since this can only be done by player manual intervention it has been deemed acceptable. If you don’t want it to do that, stop doing it.
