[1.1.39] Copying recepie into requester chest causing too big request

Post by romanticapplepie »

When copying the recepie of an assembling machine to a requester chest it will sometimes request too many items causing overflow and potential starvation.
This can be recreated by using: many beacons with speed modules, using a recepie with many ingredients and a short crafting time.

The copying described above is shift+right click and shift+left click.

See attatched image for example.

This is not a bug, the request is calculated for half a minute of production, if that does not fit, then you need change it manually.

I think it may be more complicated than I think......

I was thouhgt it just be a number problem,but I keep thinking about the ratio of item to the stacks in the chest are not always lining up,and reduce the buffer amount in requester may make modded game not so great
(
like if a recipe use a lots of unstackable item,if it still conflict with chest size.
(like if it take 3 different item stack but chest only got 1 slot)
)
