Starmade | Storage block inaccurate max capacity

Description

Some background.
I've been playing with factory and shop restock automation and the only thing I have an issue with is the Storage blocks register as being full or 100% when the sensor block doesn't see this. I believe this is because the max limit is 1 block short, e.g. Storage block filled with Grey Hull = 1999 blocks.

I've only tested with grey hull so far, but have found that if I place the maximum block count + 1 block into the storage block it correctly registers as 100% with the sensor block. Taking grey hull as an example, I drop 2000 blocks into the storage and my sensor registers 100%.

I've tried finding a bug report matching this, so I suspect you most likely know the issue. But I thought I better log something in case it isn't

Steps to reproduce

Create a sensor circuit to monitor for 100% full storage block.
Drop 1999 blocks of grey or other hull and the storage block with register 100% full, but the sensor block will not.
Remove all the blocks to clear the storage.
Now drop 2000 blocks of hull and the sensor will register 100%.

Sensor is reading it fine, it's just that you can't fill up a storage chest completely if that one already contains a block already.
The reason why the storage says it's 100 volume out of 100 volume is because of rounding. 1999 blocks out of 2000 is 99.95% but it rounds to 1 decimal, so rounds up to 100.0

If a storage unit has room for 2000 hull blocks and it already contains 1 hull block, you can only add 1998 blocks for a total of 1999 blocks out of 2000. It doesn't allow you to fill it entirely.
If a storage unit has room for 2000 hull blocks but contains nothing so far, you can drop 2000 blocks in it with a single action to fill it it completely.
