When, I assume, you either buy without space, or deconstruct, items go to random chests. Suggest that this be restricted to matching, or unfiltered STORAGE chests only. Turns out one of my, belt -> chest -> Crusher chests got 100% jammed with a bunch of random junk, which broke my ice/calcite production.

Thanks — that's a real hole. Purchased goods were indeed being dumped into the first chest that happened to have room.

Fixed: buying now only puts goods into the hub's hold. If there's no room in the hold, the deal doesn't go through and says so plainly, instead of quietly stashing the cargo wherever it fits. Your buffer chests won't get clogged with unrelated items any more. Stock on hand is still counted across the whole ship, so you can sell out of chests exactly as before — only the destination changed.

As for deconstruction, that was fixed earlier: the contents of a removed building go into the hold, and whatever doesn't fit is spilled as a pile on the platform floor next to the hub.

The point of your suggestion holds all the same: don't touch someone else's chests.
