i'm building a map with a ridiculous AC demand, and so i have quite a lot (296  ::)) of ore mines, and i noticed that a demand of 148 was emptying my AC reservoir while i had an input of (allegedly) 605.
my question is..... Whaaaa  ???
or more usefully..... how's this happening? :)

some mines are stacked in 9's on ore patchs would this affect it?
or is it a packet demand/speed issue? i haven't upgraded speeds etc much, but this isn't an issue for energy so i am a little confused.

I'd say that it is that the ore packets are only sent when they are needed, and when they are needed, you are pretty much already out. It would probably have a lesser effect with higher packet speed...

How much AC storage do you have?
Mines will not produce more ore if the total amount of ore en route to the CN will fill up the storage, even if the AC will be dispatched immediately. Try upgrading AC storage to ~500 and see if that helps.
Pretty sure I'm supposed to be banned, someone might want to get on that.

i was thinking it was something like this, the solution planetfall made may fix this

While I haven't been in this exact situation I have noticed something similar with prior versions--you can't spend more than your storage no matter what your income.
