So I unlocked the auto chest a few days ago in the game and it’s been great but then my game randomly crashed and when I got back on the research lab says I haven’t unlocked it but I have and it lets me build them.

Also saw some other people talk about this. But when using the auto chest it just stops working and won’t work again until I destroy it and place it again but it only then works for a quick round.

Not sure if the issues are related or unrelated to eachother. But rn it’s the most frustrating thing since the auto chest just basically isn’t working efficiently at all.

It works when it’s a converter belt. But when it’s a single it isn’t is what I’ve noticed so far

(Playing it on my steam deck not sure how to attach the file from that and also the game is currently up to date)

I was just noticing in my new game, I unlocked the auto chest and its showing that I havent purchased it again even though I still have the crafting recipe.

and I highly agree about how buggy they are, its probably the most frustrating thing in the game for me. Even conveyer belted theyre buggy, just less often so. as a single chest Im having the same experience described above, randomly stops working, need to break and replace. On conveyers MOST of the time I can just take the item out and put it back in or if theyre in a shed leave and come back and it works. Other times they've randomly stopped registering one of the machines as not-in-use and wont put items in that one until I break and replace all connected chests. Seems like its worse when theres more machines and auto chests running which is frustrating late game

Same here (Steam PC version). I unlocked the recipe and it's still up for purchase in the lab. The whole conveyour belt loads the machines only once, then picks the products up but doesn't load the machines again afterwards. When I remove one of the auto chests forming the belt or add another auto chest it restarts but again the whole belt stops after one load of items into the machines.

#

I would consider this a severe bug as it makes the whole idea of automation largely pointless.

@proud parrot @sharp forge Ive placed two large sets of conveyers. And lately have been noticing some random extreme lag in my game to where i can barely move. Just trying to see if its related to the conveyers or not and if you guys are experiencing anything similar?
