[quite often]

I started playing this game very recently, so bear with me if there's something well-known that I've missed here.
I seem to be experiencing a slight issue with the Mass Storage Platform, in that if a recipe (like the Geothermal Generator for example) needs more resources than what is stored on top of the platform, my builders won't even start the build. The work-around I'm using at the moment is toggling the Mass Storage Platform off, and then using the "DEBUG: Drop all items"-option. Once all my steel (in this case) is on the floor, my builders get to work.

Is there any way to fix this? Maybe tell my workers to start building even if they don't think I have enough materials or something? I suppose that could be an issue on certain other aspects though... (Like surgery: I'll just remove your heart now, I'm sure your synthetic heart will show up eventually.)

I've tried a few other storage solutions so far (Quantum Storage, which didn't work since it wasn't for B18, and Infinite Storage, which occasionally quite often spewed out a bunch of items and gave me a bunch of error messages), but I really like this take on the storage-dilemma. Expecting us to store thousands and thousands (tens or hundreds of thousands even) of items on the floor in gigantic storage rooms is ridiculous to say the least.
