I was building a new space platform, and was manually requesting an estimated amount of Space Platform Foundation that I thought I'd need. I had 10 silos on Nauvis and my request was set to 500 Foundation. When I looked in the Space Platform Hub, it said 500 was on the way. I look on Nauvis and most rockets have 46-48 platform inside them. I then go back to the space platform hub and change the request from 500 to 100. This stalled the rocket silos on Nauvis and they kept the 46-48 Space Platform Foundation inside them, and wouldn't remove or just fulfill the request (i.e. fill them up to 50 instead of removing them).

When I removed the request for Space Platform Foundation completely from my spaceship to try fix the stalled silos, it deleted all Space Platform Foundation from my silos (i.e. they weren't removed by the bots, just vanished).

I expected the bots to remove the excess Space Platform Foundation that was no longer being requested.

After this, I changed the request again in the Space Platform Hub to 100 Foundation, but the request is no longer being fulfilled, even though I have thousands in my logistics network and the silos are not fulfilling other requests from other spaceships. There are 2 stalled silos with 42 and 46 foundation in them but the rockets won't fill up and launch.

EDIT: re-attached save file as was not the most up to date one at the time.

Thanks for the report. When I load your save file, there are no stalled silos and requests are flowing to your Aquilo Beast platform smoothly. Do you have a save file which is broken?

I loaded the same save and you're right. I tried reproducing the bug and I haven't been able to. I'll post an update if anything changes, thanks anyway

@Genhis It just happened again - I've attached the new save to this post (bug1)

Ship says 300 on the way, rocket silos are almost full but request not being fulfilled.

Aren't some of your robots stuck far away from rocket silos? It happened a few times in the past.

I'm not sure that's the issue, because the belts are in the cargo landing pad right next to the silo. So I'm not sure that it's due to that
