Thanks for the report. Is it possible you could be experiencing something similar to https://forums.factorio.com/122101? Could you verify if this is fixed when we release 2.0.22? I have several dozen empty logistics storage chests on all of the networks where this has been happening, so I don't thi...

What did you do? I planned several module upgrades using remote view. The modules weren't available at the time. I left the game running overnight. What happened?

Buffer chests sound really useful, but I'm concerned about the added complexity for new players. People already get confused by having 5 different chest types. Adding another into the mix is definitely going to perplex people. Just look earlier in this thread for examples! I've often thought that ad...
