Questions about collector limpets and expiring right away.

Help

So recently I’ve almost fully engineered my vette and thought “great. I can add a collector limpet controller and collect mats from RES sites.” But I have noticed something off and wanted to make sure I wasn’t “mis-using” it.

For some reason the first group of limpets expire immediately upon contact with my cargo scoop. I thought it was odd but it wouldn’t be an issue if my python wasn’t doing the same. No matter how many limpets I let out at first, they all expire immediately after the first one makes contact with my cargo scoop. I have a 7A universal limpet collector on my vette and 2 5A collector limpet controllers on my python and they both have the same issue. The second group afterwards tend to be more resilient and survive. My question is anyone else having this issue? Am I missing a setting or should I just reach out to FDEV about a potential bug. I just want to make sure all my t’s are crossed and i’s dotted.

This is more of nuisance since limpets are so cheap but again, i want to make sure im not just wasting my time doing something wrong or incorrectly in game.
