Assembling machine output slot limit under expectation
Posted: Wed May 04, 2016 5:54 pm
On an assembling machine, I red herethat, if there is no inserter at the output, the output slot is supposed to fill up untill one full stack of crafted item.
That is true if you feed the input by hand.
But if you feed the input through an inserter, the crafting stops when the output slot contains around 10 objects... That is a weird limitation that could be corrected.
Example to trigger the problem : assembling machine crafting "transport belt" (stack 50) : output stops at 10 if fed by inserter, but stops at 50 if fed by hand.
Note : I asked that because I wrote a mod that creates objects that are not supposed to be really taken out from the machine. Just when the count is 100, I empty the output slot and trigger a special action. When users are trying to fed this machine by inserters, the action is never triggered because the crafting ends too soon... When they do it by hand, it works till the end.
