I'm experiencing something called an Internal Manufacturing Error when I operate my factory. I submitted a CSR ticket last week and I was advised that this should have been fixed with the last update on 04/27/04. Unfortunately this problem is still occuring.
I have changed the schematic. I have reset the factory. I'm powered up and have maintainence for 2 weeks. My hoppers are not full. What can I do about this problem?

Given the choice between style over substance. I'll take a sandwich.

I think this is the bug where the hopper thinks it's full when it's definitely not. Try taking some stuff out and see if that does anything. If yes, redeeding the factory will fix the hopper size so it'll hold the proper amount.

Thanks I'll give it a shot.
CSR's advised that this was a "known issue" which would be fixed on update. I really wish they wouldn't speculate if they don't know the facts.

Actually its not a bug, its just that output hopper size of factoriesis dependant on experimentation. And even as it says 100 items output hopper, its really a lower number (well unless you got 99% exp. on construction)
A rating of 1500 yield a hopper size of just around50 items while 3500 something yield about 80 items.

yes Input and output Hoppers share the same over all factory space, or so i have been told, if you examine an equipment factory in deed form it tells you a hopper size number... this is over all how much room you have whether it is in the ingredient hopper, out put hopper or both ( usually both in my uses) .... this happened to me once as well and as along as i do not use it as an overflowing storage unit ...it works fine hehe

The Hopper was not full. I did however empty most of the items in the factory and it's working again. I'm wondering if ingrediants and output share the same hopper space. Neither one registerd as full but combined I can see where there would have been an issue.

I got twice this message since yesterday. I don't run out of resources, nor power, and my factory stops after a while. I thought at first that the output hopper was full but there is still room, has anyone encountered the same problem?

I seem to remember reading something about this being caused by your factory sitting on a zone line. I think if you redeed it, it should solve the problem.

My friend and I both just started having this problem a few days ago. She had just put her factories down; I only had the problem with one, but it's been down for quite some time.

It seems it gets stuck when the output hopper reaches 90% for some reason. Well I removed some crates and it worked fine.

That seemed to work for mine too but I haven't done another run in yet so not totally sure

I have found two reasons that cause this error, I believe the reset can stop the factory I guess when the server come up it jumps off line.
The other one as someone else mentions is I believe its the amount of items in the output hopper. Where it should go up to 100 items I have noticed that my factories dont seem to be able to cope with items 70+. Normally on or about item 74 the factory starts acting odd and is prone to the internal error. My only advice is to empty the hopper before a factory run and start the factory if at all possible just after a reset.

Yep it stops when the factory output hopper is 90% full. Doesn't make much sense.
