Logistics requester/trash UI infinite loop

Post by Plawerth »

It's unclear to me if this is a bug or a suggestion. The way this works suggests to me that it is at least a UI design oversight and not something you want to be happening.


If an item is in the logistics requester for a player, and then they decide to put that item in their logistics trash, it starts an infinite loop of bots constantly cycling to the player, giving them the item, then another bot taking the item, then another giving the same item, etc.

This cycling is not obvious if there are few bots in the world, or they are busy with other tasks.

Therefore, please change the logistics user interface so that when something is placed in a trash slot, the requester slots are checked for that item and it is automatically removed from the requester slot to prevent this infinite loop.
