Apply settings with "v" does not properly adjust export buffer size

I copied the "Trucks can export" setting from another concrete mixer 2 over the previous "Export only if". However, though the export setting says so, the export buffer size did not get adjusted. With just 16 instead of 64 this does not work as intended. The problem exists in both ways, the metal caster still shows 64.
Setting to/ from "Trucks cannot export" seems to work though?!

Workaround:

  • Set to "not export"
  • "v" to other buildings
  • Setting to the intended value
  • "v" to the others again
    sets the intended values.

I can't replicate this exact behavior, but upon inspection I found a lot of entities with truck export ON, but small buffer.

I think there is multiple bugs around the export buffers. Like adding a recipe ignores the "can export". But without dev feedback I do not really like to sink my time in there anymore.

Agree feedback is lacking on all the issues with export buffers, connectors, blueprints, etc. It feels like they're either ignoring these or doing a larger rework. I'm hoping for the latter, obviously.

They're probably focused on the new stuff like bridges, trains, etc. because the leverage on player feedback is higher there. I would do the same but at the same time...😒
