[0.15.10] Inserters can jam if given multiple inputs

Post by Baughn »

With the output set to a stone furnace, inserters appear to have two possible behaviours:
- If an item is being cooked, only grab the input to the currently cooking recipe
- Otherwise, grab any item which happens to match a possible recipe.

This fails if there are multiple recipes, some of which take N>1 instances of the input material. For example, with Angel's ore processing mod, iron ore (saphirite) is sorted into a total of three varieties of iron, two of which require multiples to be cooked. Accordingly, it jams.

I'm almost certain this is working as intended and this behavior has existed for as long as I remember.
