[Genhis][2.0.14] Construction bot looping between character and rocket

Construction robots trying (and failing) to carry themselves can also happen for personal logistics. It even results in an infinite loop of attempted deliveries.
Steps to reproduce:
1. have a personal roboport and a single construction robot in your inventory.
2. Using the map view, order the delivery of construction robots to a container near you, outside the range of any other network
Save file:
My use case was ordering the delivery of construction robots to my tanks inventory while out and about. This resulted in a loop of failed deliveries from me (inside the tank) to the tank, causing a robots to trail pointlessly.

The rocket is requesting construction robots.
I have none available in the land-based logistic network, but one in my inventory.
It repeatedly flies back and forth trying to load itself into the rocket.
Save file attached.

Thanks for the report. I split this topic from
119938 and fixed the looping for 2.0.24. Construction robots from a personal roboport won't be able to carry themselves to fulfill item requests.

this fix caused a new problem for me,
i can now no longer remotely put construction bots into a far away roboport using my spidertron.
i would send spidertron to my perimeter wall to refill some bots that got destroyed and using the ghost cursor spidertron would "construct" the bot items into the roboport, when a few items had been delivered i would clear the remaining request because of the fixed issue, and then i would send spidertron back home.
i understand above bug needed to be fixed but it created an even bigger bug imo, could this somehow be changed to fix both problems?

You can just put an inserter next to the roboport and have your spidertron walk up to it.
