Despite being encompassed in heat-pipes, the condenser shows as frozen. You can actually insert stuff into it, but it'll just crank and nothing will ever come out.

bug fixed, it was actually the invisible beacon that was able to get frozen, update the beacon interface mod to get rid of the icon, the quality condenser itself does not support being frozen at this point in time.

Thanks. The bug does seem to be fixed, but if you built a condenser on Aquilo before the patch it'll still be stuck. I had to disassemble and reassemble it, which caused me to drop all my spaghetti on the ground in front of the GameStop girl. That was a huge mess and even with 300 construction bots on the planet took almost 3 minutes to fully clean up. Seems to be all good and cranking away making legendary cryogen science now.

the condenser itself should not have been stuck due to the frozen state of the invisible beacon at all, only configured base/bonus quality would have been effected.

Thanks for fixing it. This mod has finally been able to keep up with my 3,429 science/minute consumption rate. Before, I had an array of 100 upcyclers thinking that it just took them a while to crunch between each rarity, so I thought adding more would solve the problem, it just made it worse (knowing what I know now, that it just randomly picks one to update each frame). I've had to redesign some of my factory to try and minimize the time the condenser is empty, which usually requires adding an array of inserters.

note that when upcycler update they try to output their entire buffer so in the grand scheme of things its not that bad.

however im incredibly pleased to hear that you've managed to use this mod for your bulk needs and optimised around the idle limitation, it'll be fun to see thousands of items flow through these machines, would love a picture of your science condensing setup.

And then it all runs into (what I call) Science me Timbers, which is just a ton of biolabs setup with speed modules. https://imgur.com/a/ybtv36e

Before, Science me Timbers was running into serious congestion issues with the Upcycler, constantly waiting on Aquilo to provide it legendary science. I have my ship scheduled to wait on all orders until completion to leave the planet. So, if something isn't ready, it just sits there. I was originally just going to add a timeout for it, like if it waits more than 60 seconds, leave, but then it would just return with less-than-optimal amounts, and then have to come back anyway. So that's when I started looking into why the Upcycler wasn't working properly (code deep dive).
