Recipe of terminator causes difficulties in production

condition where modular armours are not stackable, so stack inserters cannot put all the armour into the assembler making a terminator so it will never be able to continue putting in other resources.

This is a Factorio related issue, but we can alleviate this issue by making the Robot Army specific intermediate droid items in order to build the droids rather than using the vanilla items.

Couldn't you also override the stack size for vanilla armor?

I'm not sure, but this could have the unintended side effect of losing any items placed in the armor (if you have items in the armor, and it stacks with another armor do the items disappear?)

that's an ugly workaround, and I don't know how that'll affect armour inventory.. I didn't think the armour itself "held" that extra inventory even after you take it off, i thought it just increased the player's slots?
