how do i include construction requests as part of the logisics request

[its a me]

i have a blueprint that automatically crafts anything that is being requested by the logistics network and i want it to craft things that are missing for construction

There used to be a mod or two that did this. It's still not possible in vanilla I think

Can confirm,

Roboports have a circuit mode called 'read logistics network requests', but that reads only what logistics bots need to deliver to players/chests/verhicles etc., not what is required for building.

Serenity mey have been refering to this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/GhostScanner
But it is not updated, and the dev has not replied yet.

I had the same problem, and there is no great solution, but there is a workaround.

You can use few buffer chests, put building material as request (like 1stack of everything) and check the "trash unrequested".
When building, robots will pick stuff from the buffer chests and that'll translate the request to the logistic network.

It has been Forked; the performance impact is not awesome though.

Automated Spidertrons will issue a Logistic Request for the required building materials, which can then be Read from a Roboport via the normal Read Requests feature.

Good Luck!
