#Auto Chest stops working

Reproduction Steps: The auto chest stops working after each machine has completed one round of its full capacity. Once the machines are complete, the auto chest will not continue feeding the machines to continue.

For example:I have one autochest attached to 2 recycling machines. The machines create 41 total scrap, but then the auto chest stops working and will not continue feeding trash to the machines.

In order for it to work again, I have to remove everything from the auto chest, pick up the auto chest with a pickaxe, replace the auto chest, and then it will work again... but only for the same length mentioned above.

Repro Rate: So far this happens every time with the recycling machine, and will happen randomly with all other machines.

I rewatched the videos back in here and realized they are upside down for some reason? Haha. Sorry about that! The issue still remains the same. Thank you!

I have the same issue. I've had this happen with the dehydrators. I set up the dehydrators on either side of the auto chest. One set will go through and then the rest of the items won't be added to the dehydrators.
The chest has ample space inside.
I have reloaded the save and slept several days, but the issue isn't resolved unless I empty the chest and replace it. Then it will work once and stop working again

my auto chests will work on the first day i launch the game, after sleeping they refuse to add new items to my machines. really frustrating since a lot of my progress is now being blocked by not having enough money to buy the upgrades. currently auto chest are not "spend money to make money"

I’ve been having the same issue! I can temporarily resolve it by removing the chest at the end with a pickaxe (which transfers items to the next chest) then placing the removed chest back down (which transfers items back). My chests are in sheds and it seems inconsistent when/how they stop sending out items.

you can also reset these if they're in a building by entering decorate mode and moving them back n forth
