Creating Ghost items
is anyone else having an issue when running this script for extended periods of time that it creates ghost copies of inventory? example i have a box that i store all my componets in, i also have a small welder ship that has a higher priority and is set to hold only 1k of each componet. but after some time when i go to manually pull an item from inventory, it will pull something else. example i double click on reactor componets which the box states i have 300 of, but what it puts in my inventory is detector componets. clicking on detector componets in the box pulls out large steel tubes etc. putting items in makes them seem to disappear as you cannot pull them out. at first i thought it was lag, but after checking and even running server locally in a test area, i get the same result.

to make the issue even more confusing, if i take the welder ship over to a ship that needs reactor componets and i run the welder, it will build the reactors like reactor componets are in the box, even though when i look before welding the box says no reactor componets. ?.?

That sounds like a bug that existed in a prior version of stock, I wonder if it's back again... Basically your items are out of order in the cargos (this is a stock bug I"m thinking of). When you click reactor comp and get tubes, was the reactor comp the next item over?

yeah, but then if you try taking another it is even more out of whack >.<

This is inventory desync, and has nothing to do with this mod and everything to do with sync issues that can occur between client and server. Usually a relog will fix this (which is annoying).

Basically the server sees the inventory has one set of things, and the client sees another set of things. And in this situation it's what the server sees in the inventory that counts. So the client is displaying the wrong items for the user.
