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:

so i have to set this for every items i have in the request llist? thats kind of tedious

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.

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
