Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

No "Read construction network requests" on roboport :-(

Post by Roaders »

I got all excited when I saw the "read logistic network requests" on my roboport and thought that I would be able to automate the supply of building materials to remote outposts when an entity is destroyed. Turns out it's only logistic requests and not construction... :-(

I guess I'll have to continue with the old way and supply EVERY outpost with a small amount of each type of building material to perform repairs...

Yeah, this is unfortunate. They did mention why it doesn't in FFF #428
Importantly (or unfortunately), it does not include items needed to build ghosts (construction requests). This is mostly a technical restraint on our behalf, as logistic networks do not track ghosts in a way that would make it performant to include.
