Hello. I just had the weirdest thing happen. And now I’m wondering if I’m missing something. 8 of my factories just finished production on Polyaramids. That as far as I know produces 40 units. Now they feed into 4 factories that require 10 each. But only 2 of the 4 linked factories popped online. And I can’t find the other 20 Poly’s. Am I missing something? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/d/3/cd349637ef11eb525b6a893abe7917a43bdca3b1.jpeg) ---

Do you route via storage/launchpad or did you route directly from one factory to the next factory? PI can vanish if there is not enough storage, which in case of routing to storage happens rarely (unless full). It can happen much more easily when you route directly from one factory to the next, if the next factory wasn’t ready yet. Route via storaga. ---

It’s hard to overload links nowadays, but yea, that’s another way to lose goods. Upgrade your link if it’s overloaded. ---

I checked everything. And was watching as the 20 units vanished. Since then production is as it should be. Guess they didnt like me watching. ---

Thanks! I route through the spaceport. Added the picture to show it was not close to being full. ---
