Automated Inventory Sorting

A bug and some odd behaviour.
So the bug:

So I noticed when I was doing my welding, it counts yellow-light connections as connected.

What I did
# /sort toggle (disable sorting so that I can get mats into my welding ship without it sucking them back out)
# Lock
# Grab mats
# Unlock
# /sort toggle (Turn it back on. At this point I'm still in proximity to the connector, so yellow light).
# All of my mats are gone. And because my container is set to [Compoents:P2] it keeps getting stuff put in it and taken out that the assemblers are building)

Now, that last part is the odd behaviour:

Currently I have some assemblers producing some stuff. Whenever the sort cycle happens, what they have gets put in my ships container (Component:P2), then they get pulled out and put in the regular component storage for the base (component:P1 as well)

The sorting goes as follows:
Storage: [Component:P1]
My ship: [Component:P2] - Now this shouldn't get stuff in it at all, which is why I find it odd that it is. The conveyor system on the assemblers is off.


So essentially what it's doing is Assembler builds it -> Sorting puts it in my cargo containers on my welding ship (P2) -> Sorting puts it in the cargo containers on the station (P1).

Yeah I actually experienced this one, it is quite odd. I will look into it more. I kind of left it as non-critical because it eventually sorts properly.

Oh yeah, it's not too bad. Mostly just odd.
