Factorio Forums

Hello, this is my first post here, not sure that this is the right section of the forum to post this.

I was working on a system to keep spoilables flowing when requesting them from nauvis orbit at a cargo landing pad. I'm doing it by telling an inserter to activate when a certain number of spoilables is reached (e.g. 1k agri science) and take the most spoiled first, while requesting new ones from orbit. This is to always have the freshest possible product available. However, when the inserter is taking from the cargo landing pad it doesn't take the most spoiled first, but what appears to be a random agri science out of the ones in the cargo landing pad. Has anyone else had this problem?

Since there is no log file, no save file, no screenshots but there are questions, i am moving this out of bug reports and into gameplay help.

Could it be that you are simply confused due to inventory sorting?

Thanks for moving this to the correct section.

I'll try to get a save or some screenshots later, but while looking at the inventory while the inserter was taking out agri packs or bioflux it was not taking out the clearly most spoiled one. I'll try to replicate this later.
