This isn't really a bug, color isn't "prioritized" so they are both perfectly valid destinations (as no color is valid for colored items) and it just so happens the order the paths get checked to find the "shortest/cheapest" path has the one that is not colored go first. Your best options (in no particular order) would be to:

  • Use a restrictive transporter on the path that you don't want colored stuff to take so that it has a lot "longer" of a score so is only taken if a match isn't found
  • Make the path to the uncolored chest longer
  • Color the path to the other chest and then have your sorter have a default color and auto mode on so it just outputs everything with the color unless it is outputting it with a filter.
