[2.0.72] Automatic space platform requests are sometimes not fully fulfilled

Post by pentaquark »

In the attached save, Nauvis is about to receive a shipment of 50 legendary quality modules from the ship "fulgora 3" (the modules arrive a few seconds after the save is loaded). There's also a ship, "vulcanus 2", requesting 50 legendary quality modules, and the player is also requesting 50 of them. Once the modules arrive, about half are sent to the player, and the rest are sent to one of the rocket silos to the west, which doesn't launch because it doesn't have a full stack. All the rocket silos on Nauvis have automatic requests enabled.

I would expect that in this situation, it either sends all 50 quality modules to the silo, or it sends most of them to the player (not all, because the player starts with a few) and leaves the rest in the landing pad. I think the intended behavior is that when the items are available to fulfill an automatic space platform request, those items should be reserved for the silo and shouldn't be available for anything else (such as sending them to the player).

Is simply not how it works. This is not a bug.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
