[1.3] Fabrication AI hangs when reloading or returning to area

[ZeroGravitas]

This is a relatively new crafting bug (not in my guide). I think it may require component factories, not sure how many levels thereof.

In 1.2 I'd noticed my crafting base hang in this same way while I was working on a build next to it, but I may have reloaded the save just before, not sure. Removing and re-adding any block seems to reboot the AI and get it working for me.

@Rafs was talking about this bug repeatedly on discord, but don't know if it's been officially reported there...?

So here, have a demonstration and a test campaign save:

So far this bug has been a perpetual problem for any kind of remote mining stations I try to set up.
The fabricator gets blocked up, stuck at 24/24, then the silos overflow and create a huge mess, meaning I have to baby sit the mining station, even though it is perfectly capable of defending itself.

I have a hankerin' for that Celestine (or whateve it's called).

Not sure if this Steam report is related, @kae: https://steamcommunity.com/app/285920/discussions/1/1643170269567701783/

Oh, and I noticed another way to repro this yesterday - undo a change to the tech with fabrication in progress. Always hangs.
