Hi! For some reason, the tanks we copied (we placed one, equipped it, and then made copies) keep requesting stuff for their equipment grid, although it's fully equipped already. So bots constantly try to insert equipment the tank already has, fail, and consequently I now have a storage chest with 300 energy shields (and still growing). Also, my bots are always busy.
Doesn't matter if the tank has ever been moved (e.g. happens to all those tanks, even those we never touched)
Removing the equipment doesn't fix it.

got the same bug
i placed the tank as a blueprint and edited the equiment grid while it was still a blueprint.

attached my savefile for forensic reasons

After a blueprinted tank with a planned equipment grid is built by a robot, more robots are sent to fill the equipment grid. However, even after the equipment grid is full, more bots are still sent to put things into the equipment grid. The tank blueprint was created and placed in a previous version. I'm not entirely certain what causes this error to occur, as it doesn't happen in a new save when placing the blueprint anew.

In the attachment, in the south-west base, at the northern section of the base, the southern-most tank is the one that's displaying this bug.

Thanks for the report. I still don't know how you got into this state, but in the next release robots will cancel delivery if the grid doesn't have any ghost equipment to revive.
