    I didn't see a report for this in Known Issues or Tracking/Filed, so here it is:

    Mode: Survival
    Mode: Singleplayer (but I believe I've seen this on Dedi servers as well)

    SERVER NAME: n/a
    SEED-ID: 190728 (or load the attached save)

    If applicable:
    MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS: No

    Reproducibility: Always
    Severity: Minor

    Type: Logistics
    Summary: Quick link to Output box does not behave like Input link

    Description: When you open a device, there is a "quick link" to both the Input and the Output boxes. When you click the Input link, you always get a screen with the player inventory on the left, and the Input box on the right.

    The Output box does not follow this. Despite the description, the link does not take you to the Output box with your inventory on the left, unless you have not changed any boxes in the logistics screens. If you have changed either side, clicking on the Output shortcut goes to your last used Logisitics configuration, even if it doesn't include the Output box you are trying to reach. This is true no matter what device you access (constructor/food processor).

    See linked video. Used the attached save game to create the video.


    Steps to Reproduce: (steps to reproduce the issue. This is ESSENTIAL for a bugfix!)


    • In attached file open the constructor and/or the food processor.
    • click on Input shortcut. You will go to input box on right, personal inventory on left.
    • click on Output shortcut. You should go to output box on right, personal inventory on left.
    • Now press F4 and alter the left side box (and the right side if you like) to some other box in the base.
    • Repeat the first 3 steps. on the Input link from the device, you will still go to the input box on the right, personal inventory on the right. But on the Output link you will go back to the last screen you had when using the logistics menu, no longer going to the Output box with personal inventory on the left.
    • Swap the logistics boxes around and repeat trying the links. Input will always work the same, but Output will always go to the last logistics screen

    Screenshots, Crash Logs, any other Relevant Information or Download links: ( Note: for more complex reproduction usecases that require quite some "setup", please create a savegame and upload it to a service & also attach a copy of your client log (& crashes log if a crash occurred):
