I am currently playing on the Enigmatica 2 Expert modpack. I have a farm which has cakes as one of it's drops. For some reason unless I manually click the cakes into the drawer or controller they won't go into the system properly.

I have tried using a vanilla hopper, Extra Utilities transfer node & pipe and Immersive Engineering conveyors but none of them work properly. For instance, with the hopper if I put one cake inside it then it won't insert that cake into the controller, but if I put 2 more it will insert the last cake! If I using IE's extraction conveyor and convey the cake into the controller then it will insert if and only if I send one cake at a time.

I tried using an empty drawer with no upgrades to store the cakes and it works perfectly fine until it becomes full. Then if I add storage and/or void upgrades it doesn't work properly and that is the problem I am having.

This seems related to the more general issue I just reported (#722)

I discovered with the cakes it has something to do with the NBT data. It happened with compasses and clocks as well. As soon as these items go into your inventory something changes with the NBT data which means they no longer match the item in the drawer and therefore won't stack.

A fix for this would be to ignore such NBT data and then they would stack fine.

This is not the case for my situation, so maybe it's not related after all.

(The items in my case have no NBT data both when they are in the hopper/original inventory and when I have them in my inventory)

@AzzBlock That behavior looks familiar. Can you try to reproduce it after removing Astral Sorcery?

I made a comment in #722 that this didn't reproduce in my test world. It doesn't reproduce with cakes either, even if I say toss them on the ground first. I suspect a mod conflict in that extra item data is being added on a widespread scale.
