Thread: Factory stopping mid run bug?

I've been experiencing what I believe to be a factory bug since the patch. My factories just stop running in the middle of a schematic run. I've checked numerous times, I have plenty of resources, my output hopper isn't full, I have power and maintenance in the factory, and the schematic is not finished, so I don't know why it's doing this. It's also in the middle of the day, not after server reset or anything. 
I was wondering if other people have been experiencing this as well?

No, no email error. *shrug* They won't start back up again with the same schematic, not sure what's going on.

I have noticed this as well... never had problems until the patch. They are stopping around 700-800 completed.

Mine have done that forever...and Ive posted about here in the past. But I typically get an internalerror7 email or something like that. Its usually once the factory has about 60 items in the output hopper. Cleaning the outputs out back down to about 30 items usually made it work again. If you are the lot holder and not getting the email then it sounds like it might be something new If you are getting the email (or are not the lotholder), it may just be that you are putting your factories through more hoops than you did prepatch (making tons of new food will do that hehe) so just now experiencing it.

Im getting this as well on some of the schematics Im running. Theres easily enough resources to cover the full 1000 units, enough space in output, loads of maint and power but they just wont keep running after say, 600-800 units. I just go back and make a new schematic and it seems to work (up to 1000). Maybe 1 out of 5-10 schematics stops prematurely

When you say enough space in the output hopper...how much space. Ive never had a factory go over about 80 items in output. Ever. They say 100 item limit but I dont think they are capable of that in all honesty.

yes there has been a output hopper bug since they fixed em. Sometimes its 40 crates most of the time its 80. Used to piss me off when i would forget to unload the output hopper and do another run to find out it ran out of room half way through.
(shrug) Welcome to the buggy world of chefs. I know i've personaly reported this one 5or 6 times over the last 3 months or so.

I have been having this occur as well, the 80 crate limit makes sense as I've been using the output hopper to store glasses and things.
The patch has created a headache in terms of storage and transfer, with glasses trim and additives. I guess it will only get worse with vendor limits (.

Same here. Once it hits 70-80 crates in the output hopper it stops. Happened to my wearable factory too so maybe it's not only food factory bug.
