It would be great if for every unlocked line of standard logistic slots you get one additional slot which works this way:
1 - you set requested item and amount like normal,
2 - bots fulfil the request,
3 - slot resets to empty.

A thing to consider is that personal construction bots may be removing supplied items faster than logistic bots, so it may be beneficial to lower requested amount number every time a delivery is made down to 0.


This will be useful in many cases of items that are not frequently used, ie. vehicles. Now you have to order tank, tank shells and fuel, wait for delivery and clear/reset slot(s) that is was being used anyway by some intermediate items.

That would be very nice, yes. A one-time Logistics requester slot. There are many in-game situations where that would be useful, and it's tedious to do one-time requests manually, in terms of having to remember to cancel the request once fulfilled.

How about using that filter feature (mouse-wheel-click / shift + mouse-wheel-click) to switch logistic requester slots between permanent and temporary mode?
