Anyone had an issue where certain factories just seem to stop producing anything and never stop? I'm talking specifically about Polymer, Electronics and Machine Parts factories.

It'll be like this:

-I have them fully manned
-I have them fully powered
-I have tons of raw materials
-They are fully maintained
-I have storage space ready to receive their end product

...and yet . . . nothing. They say "Producing XYZ amount of such-and-such" each turn and yet the *immediately* adjacent storage depot specific to that thing is completely empty. And it stays that way. Like, permanently.

I cannot figure this out.

Do you have shuttles running? If you have a lot of shuttles, they might be keeping up with the production and moving it to other storage/needs. Likewise if the factories are in a heavily drone infested area.

Also, I have occasionally made the mistake of turning a building off while designing/installing it, or otherwise messing around, then forgetting to turn it back on.

Don't watch the storage space, watch the status window - it will show something like "in storage" and go from .1 to .2 to .3, up to 1. At 1, a drone or shuttle will be dispatched to get it, if it is available. So, as dreamrider stated, if you have lots of drones, then they will take them quickly.
And, if you have buildings that need that resource, it will go there, rather than storage.
And, if you use Universal Depots, they default to wanting 3 of each item, so a dedicated storage won't get any until the Universal ones get 3, each, since they'll chain up to move stuff around.
