A queued Ship Fabricator job may explain the change. In one reported case, queued crafting consumed capacitors from the player’s personal inventory.

Your next checks

Inspect active and queued Ship Fabricator jobs.
Compare their ingredients with the component that appears to be missing.
Record the quantity before and after a queued job starts; check whether the change matches consumption.

What this does not confirm

Shared-inventory range, other machines, and multiplayer inventory rules remain unverified. A queue that does not explain the change needs a separate report.

What the player found

A November 12 author initially thought newly crafted capacitors were disappearing while building elsewhere. They later traced the consumption to a queued Ship Fabricator job.

Make the comparison useful

Write down the item, quantity, machine, and queue state. Comparing the same inventory before and after one job helps distinguish expected consumption from another problem.

If there is no matching job

Record which inventory lost the items and when. Include your build and mode in a report; this case does not establish universal shared-inventory behavior.
