[Assembler 1] Shift-clicking causing higher stack

Post by BlueBlackGames »

I shift-clicked a stack of copper (edit: same happened with copper cable) into an Assembling Machine 1 with less space than available than for the stack I was shift-clicking.
The stack reached (104) in the Assembling Machine and filtered back down (it had ingredients for the item it was crafting)

Screenshot below for second scenario, unaltered

Info:
Game source: Directly through the Steam Store (not from Steam Wallet)
OS: Windows 10

Hello, it is not a bug, the stacks in the assembling machine can actually hold more than a stack.

It's designed so that you can craft in an assembling machine items needing more that the size of a stack of a given item. For example imagine you need to build ... a satellite ! Needs 100 solar panels, but they only stack to 50. Without that, your recipe would not be buildable in an assembling machine.
