Withdraw Components for Build Planner button ignores Conveyor Sorter direction

Guest shared this bug 2 years ago
Reported

Step 1: Build an assembly with a container on the receiving end of a conveyor sorter and access on the outgoing end (connector or storage).

Step 2: Place some steel plates in the receiving cargo container.


Step 3: Create an build planner for something requiring steel plates.


Optional Step 4: From the access point, try to drag and drop the steel plates to your personal inventory. (This will fail due to the sorter).

Optional Step 5: Try to click the middle mouse button to withdraw the steel plates via the Build Planner (This too will fail).

Step 6: Open the inventory, select your personal inventory on the left and click the Withdraw components from Build Planner button in the center. This should fail as it does in step 4 and 5 but does not and pulls the steel plates.

If this is still relevant, this also affects build planner deposition of materials where it can skip the component check.

Happens i.e. when building a basic refinery, adding a sorter towards the basic ref. that has whitelisted stone, then adding some other inventories on the other side. When depositing several ores in those other inventories, they can also end up in the basic refinery, despite not being able to get there, if deposited manually from the inventory access point.

Just make it so a player can always withdraw/deposit items from/into any connected inventory regardless of the sorters involved. Sortes should only affect systems not players. You should be able to happily withdraw with Build Planner or deposit anything in any container manually or with alt+mmb (in this case, items should go somewhere they can be reachable for the systems before sorters that do not allow them to pass through)

Not only is this bug still present in version 1.205.026 of the game, I found out that the "Withdraw Components for Build Planner" inventory button does NOT work when the conveyor sorter is facing the correct direction.

i.e. when you are using that button while pulling from the outgoing end of a sorter, it fails when it should work. But when you are using that button while pulling from the receiving end of a sorter, it works when it should fail.
