[Twinsen][0.17.x] Replacing chests forces inserters to obey circuit rules

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.

[Twinsen][0.17.x] Replacing chests forces inserters to obey circuit rules

Post by Davv »

As in title.

We have for example this inserter Image

When replacing for example from Image to Image, inserter obeys it's programmed rules, and gets new item from, example, assembler.

This is because when fast replacing, the circuit network is disconnected. Because it's the last connection, the network is destroyed. When the new connection is made, a new circuit network is created and thus it will be empty for 1 tick, making your <0 condition be true.

It's a bug, but unfortunately fixing it would require quite a big refactor of the fast replace logic for circuit networks.
So I would consider it a minor known issue.

This won't happen if the inserter was connected to something else.
