Trains request small amount of wrong item
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2020 10:23 am
We are doing a multiplayer world and try to extensively use LTN as the mod reads great. Unfortunatelly we ran into several problems. Most of them were self built due to "bad design" but there is one error we couldn't get around.
We have single item provider and requester stations and all our trains are 1L-4C.
We built a single station for excess stuff from player inventory (and what we had to clean up due to earlier mentioned bad design).
This station provides multiple items and we hooked filter inserters to the station so when a train arrives only the requested items are stored in the train.
This works around 4 out of 5 times but at some points trains arrive that request for example 10000 iron plates and 18 iron gears. It's not that the inserters got stuck with the items and put them into the train it's really the signal coming from the station (not the combinator and not the light) saying that this train requests these two items in that amounts.
Is there anything known about that?
We started putting filter inserters into our request stations but this is only working against the symptom, not the problem itself.
