Hi, thank you for this great mod. I am surprised that there is less than a thousand downloads on this essential mechanic that developers overlooked.

Two issues:
- Construction bots wont construct these bins despite having them in the logistics network and they can only be built by the player manually. That does not mix well with Space Age since you would have to drop everything and travel all the way to another planet every time you need to build one
-It sometimes straight up doesnt work i couldnt figure out why. I remove the inserters or loaders to reset it and it sometimes starts working again, sometimes not, and even sometimes I have to remove the bin and replace it to make it work which requires traveling as mentioned above.

I think if only construction bots actually recognized it as a building and constructed it, it would solve the second problem as well to some extent.

I've never seen either of these issues, so perhaps there is some mod interaction that is messing it up.

Would you please upload your save file to this mod's Factorio forum thread?

Done, on the forum post I pointed out a few mods that I have some suspicion about interference; as well as my save file. Also thank you for your quick reply!

I've tracked the issue of construction bots and space platforms not building down-binners to an interaction with Packing Tape. Fixed in 0.8.1.

I was able to verify that the down-binners do work correctly when upgraded in quality.

Given the number of mods in your save I don't think it's possible to figure out what might be causing the issue, since by every other long-running game it seems to work fine.

But, to potentially make it more robust, I did add automatic rebuild of the list of placed down-binners on configuration change, which will hopefully make it more robust. And, I've added quality-down-binning-rebuild as a command to force a rebuild if it happens anyway. Implemented in 0.8.3.

As of 0.10.0 down-bins now function as normal furnaces under the hood, so all unusual interactions should be solved.
