[2.0.28] inserter can insert unrelated items into cryoplant

Post by Kilarie »

Good day!

Faced an interesting bug when any item manually put into an inserter hand would be placed into cryoplant.
Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opgc1D9UHZc

I placed the inserter under cryoplant which was making lithium from lithium brine.
Cryoplant was full of crafted lithium and all 8 module slots were filled with leg prod3 modules.
I rotated the inserter facing out of legendary beacon with 2 epic speed3 modules, the inserter took modules out of beacon, putting one to the ground. I rotated the inserter to put the other module back, but when the inserter was pointing to cryplant the module was put inside as a finished product item.

Not sure if any of this is related since I wasn't able to reproduce the bug with another cryoplant using the same steps.

Please let me know if any additional info is needed from my side.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the report.

This is not a bug.
If the inserters are already holding something (or you put it into their hand) they will put it into machine's trash slot, so they are able to feed it what it wants.
They will not start putting random things into empty machines after they have empty hands, know the machine is there, and does not want those random things.
