Duplication bug with External Overlay Display
Closed this issue · 1 comments

When using the external overlay display, inserters (also miniloaders from https://mods.factorio.com/mod/miniloader) can remove the overlay items from the factory; when a player enters the factory the previously set overlay items re-appear, allowing duplication of any items which had been placed in the overlay items chest.
Steps to reproduce:
- Build a factory
- Place a single cog in the left hand 'factory overlay controller' chest
- Place an inserter taking out of any of the middle 4 positions of the left hand side of the factory, placing into a chest
- Your single cog will be removed from the factory, and placed into the chest
- Walk into your factory, the 'factory overlay controller' chest will still contain the cog
- Walk out of the factory again, the inserter will remove another cog
- Your single cog originally placed in the overlay controller has now been turned into 3 cogs
This works with any item, or any amount of items, ie a stack of cogs placed in the overlay controller will allow you to extract a full stack of cogs between entering & exiting the factory.
