1. What did you do?

I tried to lauch Rockets and set the inserter to only insert the satelite when the output space science belt is empty.


2. What happened?

Output belt was not empty and in the Rocket Silo was still space Science. Inserter did not input the satelite , but the Rocket launched anyway.
I did'nt get new Space Science, but instead a fish.
Game is modded, but none of the mods should change the behavor of the Rocket Silo.

3. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
Expected that the Rocket only lauches when I insert something in the Silo. Not that it takes the Space Science from the Output.
I'm aware of the Easter Egg when I launch Space Science to get fish. But in this case it was not intended to get the fish.

This sounds like it's treating the output and input as the same slot?

I guess that too.
Tried to slow the game down at the moment it lauched the Rocket, but the Input Spot stays empty.

Can you reproduce this in vanilla?

I can not reproduce it in vanilla.
Okay... so it has to be a mod that causes this

If you got fish; that means you or something put a space science pack into the rocket which counts as cargo.

if I mine and replace the output miniloader it doesnt happen again.
Seems like a bug in the miniloaders mod.
If I mine the Rocket Silo and place a Chest there, a Space Sience Pack flickers in there.
