Hi,

I noticed that the "Road network reader" is somewhat fluctuating/flapping between two outputs.
So right now I am looking at Supply depot of Sand and have attached a "Read network reader" to its road. When I hover over the reader it's alternating between 4.9k and 24k for example. Obviously if I attach a "Transport depot writer" to the depot we a condition like "<20k" for example it toggles between
green and red then.

I tried, just for testing, a decider combinator with a "for each" and a similar condition, and that shows the same behaviour. So it seems that the depots are somehow providing different numbers. I believe I realize what's happening here... I have all my depots providing sand setup the same way, only minifactories where sand is a by-byproduct and needs to get rid of don't have it. That's why it's toggling somehow.

Is this some sort of timing issue or a race-condition somehow?

Cheers

Tom

I have the same problem, I have multiple request warehouses, how to set priorities to avoid production congestion？
the Netroad machine read information in road，and output in order. So my command to control the red warehouse failed
We are looking forward to your guidance
THANKS!

I'll jump onto this one, since it is similar. I'm running K2, Mining Drones, and Factorissimo, but I don't think that matters too much. I'm starting to expand, and decided to setup monitoring for when a resource runs low, to help find my bottlenecks. I found my coal was low even though it shouldn't be, see the attached screenshot. I tried removing the low depot, as that ore patch was all dried up, but it didn't help. The number being read by the reader is jumping around all over the place. Right now it is stuck on 3.8k when the depot has 5k. I wait a few seconds and it drops to 2.6k. Very strange.

In the Road networks GUI, the number in the reader matches the Contents tab, but not the Supply depots tab. I have 16 readers setup, and only 4 are accurate.

I checked in the Mod settings, for "Transport depot update interval", and it is set to 60 (which I assume is ticks), so that should be once per second, so that shouldn't be the issue.

the number from the road network reader is not the absolute number of items, but the number of items minus the 'reserved' items,
So it is natural it would fluctuate if drones are going to pick up items, as they reserve any amount while they are on the way
