As you can see, all conditions are fulfilled, yet it hasn't left vulcanus in a long while. I'm pretty sure it's because there is always science "on the way" to the platform, and i assume it will wait until the 20k are full. Well, i don't think it's supposed to wait that long. I only put 20k in case the other conditions from the automation take longer, so it can atleast take some more in that case.

Thanks for the report however that is working as intended. If you don't want 20k, don't request 20k.

This doesnt make sense. If conditions are green, it should leave. I dont want to only pick up 500 units when theres tousands on the ground, I want to pickup as much as possible, and decide in conditions whether what I have is enough. Currently the conditions are useless and being ignored in favour of set logistic request.

I mean surely the goal cannot be that i have to time how long it usually takes for the other stuff to fill up and set my requests to that amount right? Or do you have a suggestion how i could achieve "take as much as you can get (before the other stuff is ready) but atleast 3k"?

Space platforms were not designed with that feature in mind.
