Firstly, I would like to thank you a lot for your amazing mod! I've fallen in love with it since your first release and can't imagine playing Space Age with its multiple planets and diverting packs without your mod anymore <3

Somehow I noticed weird behavior on my newest playthrough tho. I never noticed something like that in my earlier playthroughs with your mod. I noticed that, of course, a large number of labs start researching when I bring a batch of bottles in but then seem to get stuck and just keep researching when the bottles run out completely, never dropping the number of working labs or stopping completely.

I put 127 Electromagnetic Science Packs into my (64 total) labs. 22 labs start parallel researching. The count never drops if I don't turn parallel researching off. I can finish a whole technology worth 1.000 packs, with only the 127 packs I put in.

Ohh, and I sometimes noticed that researching didn't start for technologies I haven't had the packs for earlier but have all the packs now.

I uploaded my savegame for you. Sorry for the many mods it uses. Maybe it's one of them, that messes with your mod tho.
I saved at a point where it just keeps researching without packs. In the Production Screen, you can even see the 127 packs I initially put in.

Thank you very much for your awesome work again! I'd love to keep using your mod, but it feels terrible when it cheats packs in such a big way.

Ok, the bug is fixed. It was making labs drain their digitized packs into negatives w/o interrupting research unless it was forced (by, for example, research a tech, changing a research queue, reloading a game, etc). The next batch of electromagnetic packs that arrives to your labs will be used to pay this debt, not to actually research things.

As long as all labs are assigned to research something, the system won't be checking if missing science packs become available. You can manually force it to recheck by toggling the mod or opening the tech window.

Thanks a lot for the fast fix! Awesome, that the fix even works retroactively for my messed up save.

Great info! So the labs stay busy and pick up newly available packs when they run out of work.
