Hi, i found out that if you have a ship with Collectors and Factory onboard, and you prevent any crew to collect outside, the collector will grab resources and bring them into the cargo of the ship, BUT since some resources are queued to be sent directly into the factory slot, the collector won't pick them up, as they can't put them into the factory slot, so those resources will stay in space, still queued to the factory, jamming the entire thing since the situation can't be resolved.
A simple system to prevent is would be an option to toggle that queue resources into factory ONLY from internal cargo and prevent it to be filled from external income, at least not until it reach first internal cargo, That will also prevent when transferring item from one ship to another in MP crew boarding the receiving ship to drop item directly into factory slot instead of dropping them into cargo and saving a lot of walking time.
2 Saved are included.
TEST BUG Collector : is before collecting.
TEST BUG Collector2 : is the result.
It mostly happen because the resources are queued to be pulled into cargo first, and once all spot are filled queued into factory slot, jamming the entire thing if using ONLY collector as a way to grab items.
It's a niche issue tho.
Thank you
