[bug ?] Red Science pack disapear...

Post by FMP_thE_mAd »

Hi there.

I don't know if the problem i will describe is a bug. But it's very strange.
I'm in 0.17.59 version of Factorio.

There are the facts :

Image

In this screen you can see :
- a train with exactly 4000 copper plates in it.
- same train with exaclty 4000 gears in it.
- factories wich can make red science pack.

Robots take the 4000 plates and the 4000 gears in the factories next to the train (there's nothing else here) and put them in the blue chests near the factories ; the factories make the red science pack ; robots put red science packs in blues chests next to the last wagon ; and then red science pack go in the last wagon.
With this processus, i should make exactly 4000 red science pack.

And there's the "bug" : sometimes, ii don't make 4000 red science pack. There's less than 4000. Sometimes 3992, sometimes 3996, and sometimes 4000...

And i can't understand where are the missing red science pack. Sometimes it work perfectly, and sometimes not, there's missing pack...

Can you help me ?
Thanks a lot !

PS : excuse my english, i hope it will be understandable.

My guess would be that there is copper in one (or more than one) assembly machine and gears in a different (or more than one) assembly machine. The ingredients are there to make the science packs, but they're in different machines because the bots delivered to different chests.

Moving to gameplay help as I'm 99.99% sure there's no bug with assembling machines.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
