Re: [2.1] Make platform-platform-planet transfers smarter

I've just recently found out if Platform A has request from surface only, and Platform B has request from platform only, Platform A is smart enough to deliver items as soon as they arrive there.

I've built a workaround for both having the same request group with request from both ships and platform ...

Space platform requests should default to "Import from All sources around planet"

Sounds similar to https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=134822 but please read further. Not the same!

[2.1.8] Old orbital plattform building request blocks dropping to planet

I was troubleshooting my fulgora build. Have an orbital recycling plattform and groundbased science pack production.

[Genhis][2.1.7] platform request: wrong tooltip why no supply possible

Platform tries to request items to build (laser turrets, space platform foundations). Tooltip at both requests tells me in red "not enough to fill one rocket".
