One processor is not working

One processor is not working properly in the current test model.

For the rest of the processors, ash is flowing in the desired flow.

There is a problem with the processor named Towa in the current model.

There is a problem that the items are supplied smoothly and the discharge is not smooth.

I have reset all the current settings. But it didn't work out. I added it because I thought the number of agv was insufficient, but the discharge was not smooth.

I don't know why only one processor can't work properly.

Due to the maximum content, Processor306 only allows a single incoming transport at a time. And because Towa out is connected last it has the lowest priority. This leads to the item not getting picked up from Towa, because when it would it its turn a processor with a lower ranking connection will have finished it's next item which gets picked up instead.

Either add a queue with max. content > 1 in front of Processor306 to allow multiple transports at a time or activate the Pull Strategy and choose "Longest Waiting" to have the item from Towa be picked up.
