Platform requests not working and UI for wait conditions confusing
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2025 8:00 am
[2.0.32] As many other players I was twisting my brain a lot around wait conditions, both for trains and platforms.
First the name "wait condition" is ambivalent itself. It can have directly opposite meanings: fulfilled condition means waiting (sounds more logical to me), or waiting for condition to be fulfilled before leaving (as the game applies).
On platforms UI gets even more confusing.
"All Request Satisfied" ties to request to planet surface (took me some time to realize, wiki helped)
"Request satisfied" ties to requests to platform (although wiki says it's also tied to planet)
Then the behavior is inconsistent as well... When I changed Electromagnetic plants from 0 to 5 on my platform requests, I received it within seconds. But the request for 100 accumulators is still being ignored, even though there are several hundreds of them and same as the elmag plants they are available in passive provider chest, both chest well within reach of roboports/logistics robots. And my rocket silo is idle. Also the modules requested are all ignored as well, most of them are available in enough quantities. I've added a savefile as well.
Any ideas guys on why the request are not being fulfilled?
What is your opinion on the UI, do you find it clear enough? Any ideas how to improve it?
