[17.x] Disconnected centrifuge is able to start a recipe

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[17.x] Disconnected centrifuge is able to start a recipe

Post by Dev-iL »

Just to clarify, this talks about centrifuges that were never powered to begin with, not ones that ran out of power in the middle of a recipe.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build a centrifuge detached from the electric network.
2. Set a recipe (I personally tested it on Kovarex EP).
3. Put all required ingredients into the centrifuge.

Result:
Centrifuge lights briefly turn on (for 1 tick) and ingredients are consumed.

Expectation:
I want my U235 back!

Here's a save-file that's set up in editor in a fresh world. If the game is advanced 1 tick in /editor, it will do exactly what Dev-iL describes.

Thanks for the report. I don't consider this worth changing since all it will do is add additional overhead to every assembling machine and furnace every time they consume items when in the majority-meant-to-be-used-that-way case they have power and will craft the recipe they consumed the items for.
