Unfilled logistic request requires message

Post by runamucker »

WHAT:
In the situation where a platform is requesting an item, but the silo accepting automatic requests hasn't finished building the rocket yet, the icon turns red indicating nothing is being delivered, and there's no message to indicate this problem. Red requests have always meant there's a real problem, like the item doesn't exist, or there aren't any bots to deliver it. Unbuilt vehicles preventing logistic requests is new and unintuitive, and needs a clear message.

Here, the request size is enough to fill a rocket, there's more than enough available on the planet, and there are rocket silos accepting automatic requests from platforms. Some shipments of that item have already arrived, but now the icon for that item has turned from yellow to red with no message.

A message similar to messages such as, "Not enough to fill one rocket", "No rocket silos accepting automatic requests from space platforms", ... would be helpful.

I suggest: "No rocket at any silo accepting automatic requests from space platforms".
