This was achieved by shift clicking items into the assembling machine while an inserter was putting items in. Space age dlc is not enabled. Vanilla.

Thanks for the report however that is intended. Inserters are allowed to put items over the stack size in situations such as this - it's to prevent them from getting stuck when you do exactly what you did.

Yes, but it is going over the amount the inserter can insert in this case. I.E., the inserter can insert 2 at once, and I shift click, and it's 7 over or one time 12 over

That's correct. That's intended as I said. If it didn't do it, the inserter would get stuck and you would need to manually fix the machine. Instead, we specifically coded it to allow the inserter to put the items in in this scenario and not get stuck.

Actually, this is an issue even if there is no inserter pointing at the machine. Simply shift clicking twice is enough to cause the bug

As a result of this, If you time it right, you can shift click items into the machine at the same time that an inserter tries to insert an item, causing the inserter to get stuck because it can't add an item over the true limit which is 212. This circumvents the intention of allowing 212 items in the machine in the first place (12 items is the maximum a bulk inserter can move in vanilla)

The inserter shown above is stuck because it can't insert into the assembling machine
