Modded building is "not functioning"

[Red Shark]

Trying to create a mod that takes in gas canisters and inserts them into a ventilation network.

I've gotten to the point where it creates errands to fill itself, but the building itself reports as "not-functioning", which causes the chore to never be performed.

Anyone seen something like this? Not sure how else to debug.

It will always be a guess when you haven't shared the source code, but my best guess would be that you have an operational component and it's set to false (aka not operational) because it lacks input (the canisters). The chores are then disabled because you have your chore setup made in a way where disabling a building with operational will disable the chores.

You might want to look at Coal Generator Delivery Fixes as that mod works around that problem.

You're exactly correct; I'm not sure why I didn't include the code in the first place!

In the meantime, I will poke around your github and see if I can suss something out from your code samples.

Well, I was able to get a working prototype doing a different method. I'd still be interested if anyone can explain what happened above, but at this point it's just for my own curiosity.
