Noticing that the Spore Collector MK 01 is not giving output consistently. The progress meter appears to be normal, even mouse hovering over the building shows that products finished is progressing. The issue is that there isn't necessarily output at the end of each production cycle and it's random. Sometimes it's every other that skips, sometimes a few in a row. It's the darndest thing.
I have tried deconstructing/reconstructing and I get the same behavior.

That's because the output is only a percentage not a whole amount so you'll only get something every few cycles

Thanks for the explanation. I now see that the output is 0.4 Fawogae spores. I was getting thrown off by the "products finished" incrementing
