2.5k of a thing that normally stacks to... 100?
I think pehaps you need to add an upper limit cap, say, max of x5 of a stack size.

The automatic "over speed - higher stack size" system is what's happening here. You can manually set the maximum multiplier for a given recipe to prevent this from happening but it's still working as intended.

To force an upper limit on a recipe you can set the recipe prototype property: overload_multiplier to some value (2/automatic is the default when none is defined). Defining it as 2 forces the maximum to 2.

While it's very much a fringe case, perhaps this system could do with a hard cap, something like 10x the build requirements?

With speeds you can achieve with mods, this wouldnt be enough. I think it works fine, and the situation here is just a hiccup.
