[2.0.70] Robot requests for Robo Ports don't work?

[hgschmie]

This is a regular roboport. It has an outstanding Robot request for 50 construction robots. It also has 50 logistics robots stored inside that are ready to move things.

Next to the roboport is a storage chest with 50 construction robots. Yet, the request is red and it has satisfaction of 0/50.

If I look at the innards of the roboport, it has a single LuaLogisticPoint, which is a passive provider?!? Shouldn't that be a requester? And also, the requests are not listed in the sections (as they would be with a requester):

As the Tooltip says, "Robot requests" only affects Bots which are already Members of the Network; you need to use an Inserter to move them from the Chest (where they are "Items") into the Roboport.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the explanation. However, then what is the passive provider logistic point within the roboport used for?

[eugenekay]

It provides the count of "Repair Packs" stored in the Roboport. This allows Construction Bots to store them in a convenient location, instead of having to fly back/forth from a Storage Chest each time.
