[15.12] [kovarex] Assembling Machine generates free product
Posted: Sat May 20, 2017 5:27 am
Hello,
Please forgive the very elaborate steps to reproduce this issue. I have not fully investigated all possible ways to produce this bug, so I will provide an example that works 100% of times for me:
-Set up an Assembling Machine 3 that outputs to a belt with an inserter.
-Set the recipe to Production Science Pack.
-Load it with four (4) Productivity Modules (Tested with level 1 or 2)
-Add plenty of Electric Engine Units.
-Add plenty of Assembling Machine 1.
-Add four (4) Electric Furnace
-Allow the Assembling Machine 3 to craft 4 cycles worth of Production Science Packs
-The Assembling Machine 3 stops crafting when it runs out of Electric Furnaces
-PASTE the recipe for Electric Furnace from another Assembling Machine onto the Assembling Machine 3.
-Engine Units, Productivity Modules, and Assembly Machine 1s are returned to player inventory.
-Assembling Machine 3 fabricates a *FREE* Electric Furnace immediately and it is placed on the belt.
This method works for generating Electric Engine Units or Assembly Machine 1 using the same method by pasting the desired recipe. I have not tested if the same procedure can be used to generate other items by using recipes that use them as components. I will do that next.
