[2.0.12] Can’t automate LDS supply without logistics

[Xifon]

Context: logistics embargo & space race, fun combination.

There’s a previous thread but I couldn’t find a bug report. The conclusion seems to have been “yeah don’t do that”, but I want to (because of the aforementioned achievements) viewtopic.php?f=18&t=117210

The bug: since a rocket silo has three slots for crafting items (Processing Unit, Low Density Structure, Rocket Fuel) an inserter can’t insert these into the cargo, even if explicitly requested by a platform in orbit. I believe the former is intentional, the latter is not.

I believe this is a bug because the inserter should either refuse to insert anything into the cargo at all, or successfully give me my LDS. The inconsistency is unexpected and left me on Vulcanus without the items I planned to bring in later

Steps to reproduce: in a rocket silo with automated rockets, request LDS from the space platform.
Expected: inserter moves
Actual: inserter does not move

Recommended solution: idk, maybe allow circuit-connected rocket silos to override the crafting slots and insert these?

I think you can still use automated requests in rocket silo even if you are going for logistics embargo achievement.

Ha, probably true, I just didn’t build any logistics bots, or roboports, or providers
