Steps to reproduce:

Have a platform in space with a request, e.g. 50 speed modules 2, which have a rocket capacity of 50.

Go to your rocket silo. Turn off "automatic requests from space platforms".
Add 50 speed modules 2 manually.

Behavior:

The rocket takes off to deliver the payload.

Expected Behavior:
The rocket must be launched manually to the platform as automated requests are disabled.


This behavior made me miss a trip to my platform multiple times because the rocket just takes off without it having any apparent permission to.

I believe this is working as intended. It is the only way to fill rocket silos transport inventory using inserters, they don't insert anything in automatic mode except rocket parts.

On another note, if you want to travel to platform on your player the rocket inventory must be empty first.
