Allow Roboport to send both output to circuit network

Post by Fractaliste »

I suggest to allow Roboport to send both logistic network's content and logistic network's statistics to the circuit network.

Currently both check-boxes can't be checked simultaneously :

Why ?
  • Logistic network's statictics can be configured with specifics signals so it can't be any conflict with the other one output.
  • It make the game more consistency with some other stuff like stations (it can currently send it train's content and train's id to the circuit network)

Two roboports is an option, but to be honest... there's no reason why a roboport couldn't output both since the signals sent onto the grid can not conflict with logistics storage. Turning the two bullets into a pair of checkboxes there makes sense... for the rare cases where you want to read out both the storage content and bot count (I can think of some uses for this with small bot-based mining outposts).
