[0.9.0] Logistics bots may bring more items than set

Post by Phantasm »

Logistics bots will not cancel already started gathering run even if you do get enough items from other route. This will cause there to be too many of that item in inventory. They should at least cancel it if they have not yet retrieved the wanted items. Not sure what should be done if they already have the items on fly and possibly the chest it was taken from has already been filled with inserters.

they also will give you more items if you ask less then they carry limit(if you ask 1, but robots can carry 2, they will carry 2 items to you)

Yes, but this actually isn't bug, but conceptual problem.
If they never bring more when they can carry more, they would rarely use the bonus.
