Science pack consumption numbers do not make sense to me

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Science pack consumption numbers do not make sense to me

Post by Ralfinator »

I built a 144SPM base. I've been researching the same thing for >30min now. When I look at the 10min production stats and search for "science", all science packs show up as 144/m -- exactly as I expected. However, the "consumption" stats some science packs are way below 144. That has to be a bug, right? I am not stashing science packs anywhere, they just go on a belt ant into the labs. And yet, somehow, I am apparently consuming the different packs at different rates.

Posting this here since I am not sure whether this is a bug or I am just misunderstanding something

This looks related to science packs transfer between labs (i.e. how labs count partially used & transferred-around science packs).
Past fixes for the following might be related as well: 120351 Accumulators in statistics show more charge that they can have, 121799 Science production count mismatch, 125025 production tab issue, 125742 Recycler doesnt return ressources equally weighted.

Ah yes, I do chain labs, taking packs from one to the next.

So some issue is still present in 2.0.32 it seems. I will file a bug report for this.
