Some think it's a mistake in the code. I think it might be on purpose.

whoever that is actually a genius, just leave it to the modders to fix the game.

the Troll did it

Yeah. sometimes I feel we are being trolled by the devs. There are other cases as well...like one food recipe that leaves me with 2 flour after i'm done.

At the very least they could have made it so the smelters hold 25, so that after loading two smelters you're not left with 10 coal you have to put back in your chest.

NOT TO MENTION... the fact that i have to click "E" 200 (thats two hundred) times, to load my 4 windmills up with barely.

I'm pretty sure they're an evil genius, it's done on purpose for the vanilla game as far as I know. It's up to you to mod the game to how you would like to play it.

Dumb coding mistake. Someone modded it by changing a > to a ≥ in the code.

So you're saying that they purposely borked the coal/ore quantities to encourage mod use?

really?

that is not what he is saying...

I'm assuming at some point we'll get an option to fill to capacity in one go, if there isn't a mod already that does that. Maybe even in the hearth & home update.

I sure hope so...

50 clicks per windmill to fill it with barely. I once had 8 windmills. 400 clicks.

there is a mod but it quite often overloads them past their limit, not so much in solo play but most definitely in co-op games, read of few tales of it rendering their unit broken but the times ive used it, it never actually broke and unfortunately it isnt very compatible with other mods

You can overload them without mod in co op play.

but only by like 1-10 from my experience, not by 20-40

I guess... You can regrow coal/trees in this case, or meat and neck that was cooked to long. Could be one opinion for 2 coal - 1 ore. And from my experience Sometimes I have 1 coal left and sometimes 1 ore left in the smelter. I don´t know how the process is counting but it works in some ways.

Buuuuuuut it would be nice by holding "E" loading to full charge at once.
