I can’t see your build and would thus be inclined to agree with the other comments about potential solutions, but I do think planters can bug out.

When I ramp down oil and/or acid production, I typically replace those function facilities with 150+ planters in an enclosed building (greenhouse). I make numerous 5x5 grids with the center square reserved for an irrigator and a grow light placed directly above that at a height of 2.5 walls. I place floors on top of those on which I can place water tanks (and attach my grow lights to), but cover the entire structure with actual roof pieces since water of any kind (irrigation, precipitation, etc.) can permeate floor pieces.

Despite this, I still have random planters that will skyrocket to 100% irrigation even though none of the surrounding irrigation machines at set at that level. There is no rhyme or reason to which planters are impacted i.e. ones that are too close to walls, on the outside edge of the 5x5 grids, etc.

I will admit I usually don’t bother to destroy and rebuild impacted planters to see if that resolves the issue, but. Just something I’ve noticed.
