Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Platform only requests some construction materias

Post by frybender »

Is there a reason my space platform is only rquesting some platform materials? I'm confused because I don't think I've ever had an issue like this before:

It won't request things until the ghost is buildable (the platform has been built).
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

That's so weird. I feel like before it used to show everything that it would request even before the platform was built. Am I crazy or did something change?

Version 2.0.38:
Changes
  • Space platform "request missing materials for construction" will no longer request items for entity ghosts which can't yet be built. (122185) This should help to prevent over filling of hubs while larger platforms are being built.
