[0.16.9] Storage Chest - unlimited amount of delivery

Post by Guenni7 »

Since the Storage Chest has a Filter, with Filter set it attracts unlimited amount of items for delivery.
I just build some 20 Storage Chests with Red Circuit FIlter, and then I could see all Bots flying to one of theese chests.
Chest Info says "Delivery: 760K Red Circuits". When the Bots arrive, they find the full chest and change path to another chest (which is also full, and so on, takes ages to fill a bunch of new chests that way).
As a chest has limited space, I think this is unwanted behavior, or a bug :)

Savefile: The chest is placed upper right at main base, right of the blue circuit field.WHen I saved, it was "Delivery 127K", still way too much for the chest.

Can you update to 0.16.10 and tell us if the issue persists ?

Didn't it behave like this forever even without filters?

I tried it with unfiltered chest in 0.15.37 and it behaves exactly the same way.
And actually, filters have no effect on how items are selected once the chest isn't empty.

I updated to .10, no change.
It's the first time I've seen ~50K Bots flying to one single storage chest, and I moved storage a lot before on my base.

But regardless if this behaviour has changed or not, I think it's not a good solution to order all available Bots to one single chest.

It's always been like that (0.14 video).
There are 10 types of people: those who get this joke and those who don't.
