TL;DR
Since 2.1, manually configured requests allow us to choose the exact import source (specific planet, platforms, etc.). Requests created via the circuit network currently lack this capability.What?
Allow import sources to be configured for requests set through the circuit network.Possible implementations:
* Add the same Import From option to the request group that appears when Set requests is enabled on a space platform.
* Expose the import source through the circuit network as well. For example:
* * A planet signal selects a specific planet as the import source.
* * A numeric signal selects the import mode (e.g. specific planet, platforms only, or all sources).
Why?
This would make circuit-controlled logistics consistent with manually configured requests and enable fully automated logistics between space platforms and planets.Currently, circuit-generated requests always use the default import behavior, preventing many automated platform supply systems from controlling where items are imported from. This limitation makes it difficult to build reliable logistics networks when multiple potential sources exist.
