For space platforms, logistics requests and construction requests should be two different things

In my current Space Age game, I'm finding that a lot of my space platforms are getting stuck due to unfulfilled requests.
The trouble is, the actual unfulfilled requests are like the image below.
This isn't a logistics request; this is an automatic construction request because I told my platform to upgrade the thrusters from normal to rare. But unlike logistics requests, construction requests aren't planet-specific, so an upgrade request like this causes my platform to get stuck at every planet.
The idea:
Instead of (or in addition to) "All requests satisfied", we should have "All logistics requests satisfied" and "All construction requests satisfied."
(Possible objection: If this were changed, would brand new platforms with lots of construction requests fly off half-baked?
No, they wouldn't, because they're set to "Paused thrust" by default. If I change a brand new platform to "Automatic" when it's not ready, that's on me.)
