g Stack sizes

In tests I'm finding that 50% of cargo transported is being destroyed, for coal and ore, unless you're also using some other mod that changes stack sizes.

Usually, 100 coal don't fit into a stack. So when you unpack a pallet, 50 are lost. Even worse: nuclear fuel, 99 are lost.

Potential solutions:

(a) Pallets are capped at the natural stack size for that item (and the recipe time is adjusted accordingly). Some items would no longer be packable, e.g. nuclear fuel
(b) You change ore, coal, stone etc. to stack at 100, but that will mess with people's existing bases and screw with balance.

Hmm interesting there was a similar issue in v0.15 and I had to add some workarounds for that. It was working in earlier v0.16.x versions but maybe it is broken again :( which Factorio version are you using?

yep you are correct, it looks like this changed again when testing 0.16.18. I'll add the workaround back in, this should be fixed in next version.
