I noticed when this mod is enabled, the stack size for steel chests goes from 50 (vanilla) up to 1.6k. Is this a bug or a "feature"?

The reason I noticed it was because my shopping mall setup is set to make 4 stacks of chests... and before I realized what was happening it ate up a huge amount of steel.

It is a feature, which can be disabled by mod settings. But in order for bots to place chests larger that 50 tiles the stack size has to be modified.

Ah, I see.

I have noticed this too, when you say it can be disabled by mod settings, is it the maximum chest area setting or is it something else?

I'd like to learn about how to disable this properly, too. Right now, this has a negative effect on my map-wide logistics. I have way way to much of those chest items in my build trains and in circulation (in general). For now I worked around this by deleting the file "data-final-fixes.lua" from the mod package. This "restored" the default stack size for the chests. But I don't feel comfortable by modifying the mod files.

Hmm, actually it isn't a mod setting, must have removed it at some point, but I'll readd it

@Atria - did you end up adding the setting back?

No, because the game complains if placing some chest requires more items that one stack:

item-to-place "steel-chest" count (100) can't be larger than the the item stack size (50).
