g Requester depots crafting items

4 years ago

I dont know whats happened but my requester depots are crafting items. I've been messing about trying new mods and getting setup for a new playthrough when I noticed my requester depots are actually crafting items.
I set what item I want give it a drone, a fuel truck comes by fills the fuel and as if by magic the depot output is full with 18000 of the item and 1 drone and 1 fuel has been consumed.
First thought was some mod conflict or something so I updated the game, deleted the mod and reinstalled an up to date version, disabled all mods excluding transport drones and started a new world but it still happens. Fuel truck arrives, fills the depot and it crafts an entire inventory instantly.
If I empty out all 3 stacks of 6000 then the requester functions as expected sending trucks to get supplied items but when the next fuel truck comes by it all goes mental again.
I have no idea whats going on can anyone help me out? i can provide a savefile if needed just need to know where to upload it.

I think I have found the source of this issue...
In the options you can set the capacity of a fluid wagon I found theres serious issues with throughput when the capacity is at default so i raised it to 2500.
Now if all fluid wagons carried 2500 it wouldnt be an issue but for some reason fuel trucks seem to carry 6 times the fluid capacity amount which means they are able to carry 15000. the requester depot recipe is set to 5000 so the fuel truck arrives, dumps its load and the depot produces its recipe of 18000 items.
I can't find the bit of code that gives the fuel trucks a capacity bonus of 600%, anyone know where that is?

For now I'll just set drone fuel to 0 and play without fuel as i cant risk a delivery arriving and spawning 18k items out of nowhere
