[2.0.12] Storage chest preferred over buffer chest target

[lelick]

After upgrading a saved game from v1.1.110 Logistic network is massively malfunctioning. Robots instead of transferring items from active provider chests to buffer chests, started dumping items to generic Storage chest

Also looks like personal requests do not have higher priority than logistic network requests, but that I don't know how to confirm. I just observe that my personal requests are fufilled very slowly, even though I have 1k+ robots and storage is full

Thanks for the report however everything you describe is working as intended. Also, there is no priority in which logistic requests are fulfilled.

Can you elaborate, does it mean the following info is not true?

As far as I know regarding logistics and everything I've seen in code: yes. Player logistic requests do not have any kind of priority over requester chests. Maybe this changed at some point but if it did, I missed the memo. The "Target priority" should be true. However, if the buffer chest is satisfied, the robot will then pick a storage, and if on the way to the storage the buffer then is emptied or starts wanting more - the robot won't change targets.

That's the issue, on the screenshot buffer chests are (almost) all empty, while the request is set to 4800. Yet robots are sending items to Storage chests. This worked well in v1: train station unloading to active provider chest, buffer chests with requests to 100% of capacity, and Requester chest for train loading. Now it stopped to work.

Looks like buffer chests are completely ignored as a requestors

I recorded a video. This train station worked fine in v1. Now you see that logistic robots ignore not only buffer chests with requests, but also Requester chsts. And send items from Active provider chest to god knows where Storage chests.

But then at some time it kind of heals a bit, and starts moving requests to buffer chests, but at very low speed, and still good share of the robots go for Storage chests instead of buffer chests. FF to 2:40 : https://youtu.be/An5J4N-DuMg?si=a-8aJPA5TFkhYWh_&t=160

This can not be normal, this completely unpredictable behaviour.

Observed that buffer misbehaviour too when supplying gears for the mall assemblers from over a whole base. It looks like buffer chests disable their requests at the moment there's any unfulfilled request of the given item in the requester chests.
