[0.16.17] Timing issue with circuit-controlled inserters

Post by rnorris »

I've been playing around with timing stack inserters to place items on a belt at exactly the right speed to get compressed output. I've been successful in making such a setup by regulating the stack size of two inserters to 10, and having them each place on the same side of one belt exactly once each per 60 ticks (with some delay between the two inserters). I'm able to get compressed output on one lane with a bit of trial and error. What's really weird (and possibly a bug) is that when I try to expand the setup to a second set of inserters and another belt, I don't get compressed output, even though the second set is a pasted blueprint of the first setup. Same settings, connected to the same clock, etc. I've included a blueprint string that demonstrates this (must be placed in a logistics network with sufficient iron ore). This seems like a very subtle inconsistency, so my guess is that it's a bug.

For my purposes, 0.16.25 has fixed this.
