Cargo landing pads should act more like buffer chests

Post by TheToric »

TL;DR
Cargo landing pads should be counted as buffer chests for the purpouses of 'request from buffer chests' checkbox.

What?
Currently I have requester chests set to request science in order to keep science out of my logistics netowork. Pre-space-age, this worked fine, as the only way science could enter my logi network was construction activities. However, with space age, I now have science passing through the cargo landing pad, essentially a passive provider chest, meaning that the bots will fill the requester chest from the landing pad, generating useless bot traffic. (as I have inserters taking directly from the landing pad.)

Wow, this is exactly what I did, and now have a chest full of tons of space science...

I didn't even realise the thing was connected to the logistic network, I would just have it be like a giant chest, and mame you use an inserter to get the stuff into the logistic network (that way you can decide which priority it should have, storage chest, passive provider, active probider, or buffer)
