[2.0.72] Lab Bots are on strike since a few days

Post by Bömmeli »

Hi there,

my labs are surounded by storage and requester chests. Each lab has its on requester chest, which are all configured the same. The sciene packs are delivered in different ways, but all ends in active provider chests. So the bots first filled all the requester chests, and what's currently not needed put into storage chests. The current setup worked for 1000 hours or so, but without change since a few days the space sciene packs were mostly brought to storage chests. So most of the requester chests are not fullfilled, and most labs do nothing. Whenever a train arrives, there are no bots availble. But even in the time between they are just chiling while the requester chests and labs are waiting. In my opinion the requester chests should be fullfilled first, as it was just till a few days ago.

I did not look at the save, but from your screenshots alone it seems your requester chests are simply full, can you check?

That's really, really embarrassing :oops:

I configured the chests so that the fulfillment will exactly meet the storage capacity, and never clicked on the chests again. Just hovered on them.

And yes - you're right. They are full, because the bots delivered one more sciene pack then requested, and so there is no space for space sciene.

Why just checking the chests in one second, when you can report a bug in an hour? 8-)

Thread can be closed - I'm just stupid :roll:

The lab block is just a quadrubled copy of the origin block, which was initialy build on a different place 3k hours ago or so. Back in the days I haven't done much with logistic networks, and trash sounded like destroy - so i haven't checked the box :oops: And as I wrote, never clicked the chests again. Eventually it worked for such a long time, because there was always a lack of at least two different sciene packs - and the chests were never full enough to cause the problem.

So embarrassing :oops:
