Thread: Factory bug
Yeah, it is a bug that has kinda been narrowed down to hopper sizes. It works something like this.
Input hopper size = 100 slots
Output hopper size = 100 slots
Total Factory capacity = around x items - where a crate of 10 = 10 items
The Total capacity is a bit of a mystery to me. Anyway, when your factory reaches the Total capacity in combined input/output hoppers it stops.
Take some finished items out of the output hopper and restart, it should be ok again until it hits the magic number.
Corrections to the above are welcome

I put enough crates of parts in my factory for 50 T21's, it appears I didn't put enough polonium iron as there is a stack of 18 left in my factory input hopper. The output was 33 rifles (missing 17), and all the stocks, barrels and power handlers are used up. It looks like it just kept eating parts even though it ran out of the polonium until all theparts were gone also.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Not sure if this has been posted before, but here is what happened. Wondering if anyone else ran into this.

Worst I've ever had was factory ate resources for one additional weapon when my components ran out.
I ALWAYS have this happen, I'm always too lazy to check my components.
