Hi,

I'm at the tail end of upgrading my robots to Legendary. I've managed to remove about 5k of each robot type (basic quality) from the main network in Nauvis while introducing Legendary robots.
This was done with Robot requests in a roboport, and inserters removing the basic robots. This worked for construction robots, and managed to remove all but 147 of my logistic robots. The "on the way" metric fluctuates around 10 but no robot has been removed in hours. I believe these robots are being re-routed to fulfill other logistic requests. I don't think this should be case, especially when there are idle logistic bots on the network that could take those jobs.

Forgot to attach a savefile.
My character is standing next to the roboport that does the request

I am not considering this to be a bug. Fulfilling nearby requests is more important than stationing in a roboport. If stationing would be more important than fulfilling requests, then this feature would become completly useless as the idea is to be able to have robots close to where they could be requested to do stuff and having certain amount of robots in a roboport not serving any requests nearby just because they were told to sit in the roboport would mean the requests would have to be fulfilled by robots far away, this literally defeats the purpose of this feature.

Not a bug.

I understand, but then automatically upgrading the quality of the robots becomes very difficult, if you have any kind of constant logistic load on your network.
