Steps to Reproduce

1. Have space platform with 80 cargo bays
2. Load 20k Cryogenic science inside (rocket capacity: 1000)
3. Use Ctrl+Click to drop the cargo

Expected:

• All science is dropped at once
• Only 20/80 cargo bays go on cooldown

Actual:

• Only 10 stacks are dropped per task, for a total of 10 tasks
• Only first 9 tasks are completed without delay
• The 10th drop-off task waits for internal cooldown

P.S.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or miscommunication on throughput definition.
Anyway, not scaling # of drop slots with the # of cargo bays looks like an issue.

Hello, can you still reproduce the issue? Please attach your save file.

I have a vague memory of fixing this exact issue. So I’m pretty sure it’s fixed… but I’m not at my computer to verify.

I only today restored integrity of my PC (windows administation issues), so I will be able to verify in the next few days (or hours).

You are probably referring to this one:

• 127244: [2.0.37] [SA] Unable to set up forced drop-off on space platforms

They are definetely related, but distinct problems from the user perspective.

Yes, the issue still persitsts. Steps-to-reproduce exactly the same.
