TL;DR
Cargo landing pads should have lowest priority for picking up items for the requestsWhat?
When determining provider for an item request, the Cargo landing pad should be the lowest-priority pick (below red & yellow chests). Currently, it is same as red.Edit:
This should also apply for the construction tasks, as currently construction tasks use no priority at all.
Why?
Currently, the CLP seems to have same priority as a regular passive provider (red) chest, resulting to the "closest serve" model. For example, if your base both produces some material and requests it from orbit (i.e., as an additional provider or as a backup), it is common for a locally-produced item to never be used because the CLP is the closest provider to the majority of consumers. As a result (as a workaround), you are forced to use storage chests for supplying items, using them outside their normal use-case.Images gallery
