Logistics Network Ignoring inventory

Post by Hikerman357 »

So this is my first playthrough and first post here. I don't know if I messed up a setting or if this is a glitch.

For reference I am playing version 2.0.32 on Windows.

I have built a network of roboports and have a assembling machine building rails. It is being supplied by a requester chest set to request the needed stone, steel plate, and iron stick. I have a steady supply of iron stick going into a passive provider chest. I have 157 logistics bots ferrying supplies around. They are recognizing and moving the stone and steel plate, but ignoring the 4800 iron stick in the logistic network inventory. They are not moving the iron stick, and the requestor chest isn't even asking for it.

Same thing is happening with a setup building grenades not asking for coal.

This usually happens when all of your logistic bots are busy. If you mouse over a roboport, I'm guessing you'll see "0/157 logistic bots available". In which case, you need to make some more, or wait longer for the existing bots to get around to moving everything.

I've built up my bot inventory and have 30ish idle bots at any given time now. Same thing is happening. I also tried swapping the passive provider chests over to active, but to no avail.

If you want to know what is happening post the save file.

So, I'm not sure how to post a save file, but I wound up breaking down the requester chests then rebuilding them. Upon rebuilding and resetting the item filters and limits, they started calling.
