[2.0.11] Rocket Silo requests more than required

Post by lordfwahfnah »

Hi,

my Rocket Silo is set to "Automatic request from space platforms"
now one platform requests one stack of green chips. However the Rocket wants to send a full rocket with green chips. There are other items requested that would fit in the rest of the rocket, but these are ignored.

Is this a bug?

I want to say this is intended. The space hub can set a custom minimum payload on the request, as you can see here:

I've just encountered this too, it certainly feels strange that the platform is demanding far more resources than it actually requires.
In a space and storage restricted context like the plat form this definitely feels like it should be automatically setting the demand threshold. At least for construction requests at a minimum.
I put down a platform blueprint and then spend a minute dropping everything back to Nauvis.

This just started happening for me as well.
It just keeps filling up my platform + cargo bay.Image

Just trying to get some stuff to go to another planet and it keeps filling up

I think this is a bug, but perhaps its not.
But it seems some things like circuits have a very high minimum payload
Most items are just the default stack size, but for me circuits I think were 2000
