Construction bots bringing unwanted items when they can avoid that

Post by hurricup »

To reproduce:
- set request filters
- set the checkbox to dump non-requested
- stay in the aoe of stationary network with ports and free logistics space
- have some construction bots in inventory and enabled
- deconstruct something nearby you don't request in logistic requests (e.g. box with unwanted items)

Expected:
- thing deconstructed directly to the stationary logistic storage

Actual:
- bots deconstruct stuff, bring it to your bags, then to the logistic storage.

I think this would introduce other weird behaviors, for example, where do your personal construction bots go when they have dropped something in storage?
also, the storage could be on the other side of the map so your personal construction bots could take a pretty long flight where you have to wait ages for them to return.

But in such case personal bots should not deconstruct the thing maybe? If other bots available in the stationary network?
Feels like this could be optimized.
