1. Build a space platform and vanilla rocket silo. Enable automatic requests from space platforms.
2. Have the space platform request an item heavier than 1 ton. This is only possible with mods. There are two ways I have found:
- Mod in a building over 1 ton, and try building it on the space platform. The construction request will not check if the item is under the weight limit.
- Mod in a bigger rocket silo. This will allow you to select heavier items for delivery by rocket, such as the nuke. You do not actually need to build the rocket silo. It only needs to be installed.
4. Try requesting any other item to the space platform.
THE BUG:
The vanilla rocket silo will get stuck attempting to launch the item, even though it is over the weight limit. It will not be able to fulfill any other requests until this one is cancelled. This always happens.
ORBITAL REQUEST ROCKET SILO INVENTORY
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:
Rocket silos should not attempt to deliver items that are over their weight limit. It should deliver all the items it can, instead of getting stuck on the one it can't.
FILES:
I have provided a save file along with a mod that adds a 5 ton rocket silo and a 10 ton nuclear reactor. The mod is required to trigger the bug.
In the save file, there are some 1 ton and 5 ton silos, and a space platform requesting a reactor, some nukes, and other stuff. Everything is in the infinity chest.
