[0.8][graphical] Inserter train unload glitch

I noticed this in the second mission where inserters that normally unload stuff from train suddenly reach somewhere 3 screens away (i was like "wtf is this strange line on my screen...ah, inserter") and then slowly retract (empty).
BTW the steel and ammo requirement is way too high and should be halved. I had all other resources, but waiting for 4000 steel bars to smelt takes boring ages even on many furnaces.

Did you use the the speed modules for that?

Actually, you cant. I used them in assemblers, but the furnaces available for the mission do not have room for modules, and they are the main bottleneck.

I was not able to reproduce the error, do you have any save, or way to reproduce it?

Hmm not now, it happened very randomly in that campaign mission. But it surely does have something in common with
*Inserters always work for loading/unloading in the train station, even when facing the gap between wagons.
so you might look for code blunders there. But as long as it's rare and it doesn't cause crashes, i'd leave it for later time.

I can confirm this, but also can say, this is very random and doesn't happen, when there is "nothing to do". I mean it happens only, if the inserters are very busy and only for inserters on trains, putting items out.

Same bug here. First time this happens, second mission of "new hope".

Thank you for the additional info, it will get fixed in 0.8.1

I'm glad my save could help.
