Hello

I would like to know if it was expected that when a space platform request only one item, transmit it to the silo on the ground, the silo requested a complete stack and send it to the space platform ?

The problem is that in this case I need a rocket per stack when I need only one belt, one inserter, one splitter, and a few platform foundation, instead of packing all that in a single rocket.

Is it a bug ?

Thanks

no it's not a bug , it's expected that the silo send rockets with only 1 type of item in them when in automated mode, by default waiting for a full load of that 1 rocket, but this can be mitigated by setting a request for those item with a custom payload, which will still launch a rocket with only 1 type of item except it will wait untill the custom payload level and not a full rocket of that one type of item.
