[2.1.9] Damaged platforms request common repair packs even when it has legendary repair packs

[thedoh]

I moved my 2.0.77 game over to 2.1.9 last night and let's just say there was an incident with one platform taking off from Nauvis before it should have, and encounter with some asteroids. I was able to get it back to Nauvis to before the entire thing was lost, but the platform auto requested common repair packs one at a time in spite of having hundreds of legendary repair packs on board.

So there are really two bugs here if you think about it:

1. The platform shouldn't request common repair packs when it has higher quality repair packs onboard it already.
2. They platform shouldn't request them one at a time (because there is never a request for common repair packs with a minimum payload of 1).


And while I'm here, a feature request: It's criminal that higher quality repair packs repair so slowly on platforms. Please increase the repair speed to be proportional to the quality of the pack.

The savegame is huge, around 175MB or something, so I'm not sure I should post it, but if yall devs want it to see, just say the word.

Hello, post the save file, please.

Will do. Might be around midday Toronto time when I can catch a break at lunch.

Thanks for the report however this part is not a bug.

They platform shouldn't request them one at a time (because there is never a request for common repair packs with a minimum payload of 1).

This also was not a bug in the past - because the rocket system would always send 1-rockets-worth of repair packs regardless of how many the auto-request logic made. Maybe this need to be handled differently with mixed rockets these days.

Wait, why isn't it a bug? The platform already has repair packs, so why should it want to get more, of a lesser quality?

Unfortunately I can't reproduce this, but I swear it happened!

It's not a bug because that doesn't happen. It won't request more repair packs unless there are none in the hub.

I've already had one Factorio dream this week (a nightmare, really - I was a construction bot fighting a speedrunner's other bots, who were also people, to help, and they wouldn't). I hope I didn't have another one! This can be closed, I suppose!
