Auto chest "reset"

[frosty robin]

Hey devs, I took a look. I didn't notice this anywhere.

Title: Occasionally I have to collect/reset the Auto Chest To make items push through to the machines.

• Reproduction Steps

1. set up kegs, barrels, beehives and multiple auto chest. Does not matter the order, can be one or all of above.
2. input appropriate items to Auto chest. Can reproduce with every item type.
3. observe that items are not feeding to empty machine, barrels, kegs or bee house
4. use pickaxe to retrieve one Auto chest back into inventory.
5. This seems to RESET the auto chest and items will immediately start to feed to the proper machines.
6. replace Auto Chest in original position.
7. deposit new items will correctly distribute to machines.

• Repro Rate intermittent/occasional
• Game Platform series x
• Game Version 1.1b-1232

Hi @frosty robin , apologies for the inconvenience! If you're able to replicate the issue, could you record a video and send it here so we can take a closer look? Thank you 😄

I don't believe the video will be helpful. My farm is already set up and is quite automated and functioning mostly as intended.

Every Day I enter my sheds and open the auto chest to retrieve my items that have been produced.

I checked these Auto chess several times everyday.

Sometimes I will notice the barrels are empty and there are still bottles of juice, or jars of honey, or eggs, or cheese wheels, And they are sitting there instead of being processed.

And so in this situation, I can use the pickaxe to retrieve one auto chest, And immediately the products That have been waiting, will start to fill up the barrels again.

I can then click on the auto chest and put it back in position, And it will start working perfectly again.

When I come back an hour later or a day later or A week later, It can happen one time or five times or 10 times.

I have three separate sheds, some with some kegs, barrels, bee hives, cheese press, composting, kiln, fabric. And they all experience the same issue intermittently, random and occasional.

But I cannot make it happen.

I can try to make a video, But already I know what it will look like.

You will see me open an auto chest to retrieve some items.

The auto chest will also have some items as I noted above. This will give me a clue that the auto chest is not working.

You will see me close the auto chest.

I will use my pickaxe and hit the auto chest to retrieve it.

You will see the stored items start to populate again.

You will see me put the auto chest back in place.

The next time it happens I will take a video and post it here. Also, here is the layout of my three sheds. It happens with all of the auto chest and all the machine.
