Anyone know anything about factories halting production before output hopper fills up w/ plenty of resources in input to end w/ full 100 items in output, but just stops short. Sometimes low as 40 items are produced sometimes just 20 short of the 100 limit. Can even sometimes coax more to be made by restarting w/o doing anything w/ resources/components in the input hopper. It's been happening for months now and I'd really like a fix. =)

Yes there is an entry in the FAQ. THe description I have for the error is out of date though. It used to give a system error 7 something or other now it says something like manufacturing error and unable to make crate. I need to get the exact text to update the FAQ.

Actually, it does not give any error message at all, in my experiences. My Factories (all 4 types) just shut down at @ 70% output hopper capacity. Emptying the Hopper & examining shows no "ghost" items there, they just reach capacity at 70% +/- 4%.

<edit>

I do know the bug you mention Pawlin. I have seen that as well.

When I've seen it there has been an email. However you'll have to look closely at the emails you get, the one doesn't look like an error message at all really. It might be easily confused with your normal factory messages.

It used to give a specific error message #7 as in the FAQ. However they changed it to something different but still useless. The body of the message text does say something about recommending you submit a /bug report.

Ah the joy of using factories on someone else's lots. Don't get spammed w/ mail. =)
