Inserters start working too late

[terror_gnom]

Hi,

I have a little issue with an Assembling Maschine 3 with 4 Speedmodules 3.

The Inserters start to late to insert new raw material in the assembler so it "hiccups". It doesn´t matter wether its a fast inserter or stack inserter nor if its picking items from belt or a chest.

It happens (probably) for all 0.5s recepies (testet it with copper cable and green circuites).

Could you possibly change the prediction, when an assambly machine requests new raw material from the inserter?

Thanks

Thanks for the report,

We found this during internal testing, but decided that it isn't a bug,
You can use buffer chests to bypass this problem

Could you please elaborate. This problem is every where in my production. I do not see how a chest would stop this at all. The inserted is not responding fast enough to the command that the supplies are empty. Just make it so that it starts to fill up before it is on its last craft would stop this. Is this discussed in a different post? It is very hard to look stuff up for this problem.
