An Algae Deoxydizer that consumes infinitely Algae.

Look closer: the dupes are dropping 1000g (not 1000kg) of algae.

This occurs when you do'nt have enough algea in stock so the dupes run in loop to try to deliver as much as algae they can, which is not enough.

This is something that needs to be sorted out, however (for example with a threshold of the minimal hauling quantity)

Yes, I got caught by this too until I realised what was going on. If folks keep thinking this weird behaviour duplicants are exhibiting is a bug, then surely it is something that needs to be worked on?

Same can happen with water or any usable item. Just set lower priority at it and your base start running again.
