Component Sorter - Some Items Vanishing
I recently set up a "Industrial Area" in a Cave in the North-Eastern Sector of Vault 88.
I Intended to use it to harvest Comonents i run low on at a given time.
Its a basic contraption, a chest where i put a lot of junk in, a hopper wich sucks the Junk out, and an Component-Sorter wich pulls out any item containing wanted coponents while passing trough the Rest to an other Storage.
For most part it works like a charm, besides the fact some items simply not fit into the Sorter, and get stuck on the Belt, but thats something i can deal with now that i know.

However i noticiced some specific items go in, bot never come out anywhere on the Sorter...?!?
Specificly it was "Nuka Bottles", "Baby Bottles" and "Oil Lanterns", the just seem to vanished to thin air.

However, as i found out, the were not actual gone, the just not ended up where they suppose to end, i found a pile of Lanterns and Baby Bottles near the Main-Cave, close to where the Workshop area was limited the first time you enter Vault 88, the Nuka Bottles ended up in a pile in a small cave close to the Subway Station.

All other Items i sended through the Sotrter seemed unaffected.

Has anyone encountered similar odd habits regradind the Sorters, or is this something specific to this location, or somehow Mod-Related?

PS: Sorry for my Engrish.

It's not really a bug, there are just items that don't work well with conveyors in general. I'm guessing the bottles (baby and nuka) fell over and rolled off, and I think the oil lanterns might be too tall to go into the machine.

If you want real fun, watch a bunch of brooms try to negotiate a conveyor corner... or try and get an enameled pot into... anything, really.

They did not just drop down and rolled away, they teleported to the egdges of the North-eastern sector in cozy piles...maby they just wanted to chill out there after their teleportation trick *lol* oh Bethesda...

Oh, then they likely fell through the floor and that's the center of the cell.

Might want to tell Bethesda about this one.

Did some more testing, moved my entire Contraption one Level up and placed it in the Middle of the Room, so i have plenty of emty Space around it enclousured with Walls. Then i put pretty mutch every junk Item into it wich i had laying around to watch how it process it.
Asides from the Objects wich are unsuitable -simply because of size and shape (Brooms, Showels, Fishing Rod)- there are some Objects wich behaved odd.
Asides from above mentioned Bottles and Lanterns i found Jangles (ok its also a bit big) and the Red Toy Truck beeing spawned incorrectly.
These Objects spawn below the Sorter's Belt or even at the Rooms Wall/Floor or the Floor/Wall of the Level below, occasantly falling out of out the Map.
My guess is, whenever a Object falls out of the Map, the Game places it elswhere, but this dos not explay the Sorters habbit in the first place. The Toy Truck and the NukaBottles are small enough to get placed properly, the Huge Deathclaw-Claw works fine...
Can Somebody cross-check if this happens to at his Game as well?
I want to rule out a Mod/Location Problem.
