Buffer Chests are Included with the Read Logistic Network Requests even when Disabled

[Levlio123456]

When reading the the logistic network requests in the circuit network, items in buffer chests are included even if the requester chest does not accept from them. For example, if a requester chest wants 100 belts, and a buffer chest contains 35 belts, the logistic network requests outputs 65 belts even though 100 are needed.

You are not reading a requester chest, you are reading the logistic network contents and requests and items in buffer chests are in that network.

Yes, I am in fact not reading a requester chest. I am reading the roboport, and have the option on the right set to "read logistic network requests". however this assumes that the requester chest can receive from buffer chests, which it cannot. That is the bug, sorry if my wording was a bit confusing

I am quite sorry, as I did not realize that there may be a layout or guide for bug reporting, and as such I would like to submit this information. Hope it helps.

Version: 2.0.55, Vanilla (No mods, or DLCs)

How to reproduce:
1. Connect a decider combinator to a roboport.
2. In the roboport menu select "read logistic network requests".
3. Set a requester chest to any item, make sure this requester chest does not have "Request from buffer chests" enabled.
4. Add some amount of the item that is requested to a buffer chest.
Result: The decider combinator Considers the items to be accessible to the requester chest.

this assumes that the requester chest can receive from buffer chests, which it cannot.

It does not assume anything, it returns the difference between two values, requests and items in the network. It neither claims nor assumes that you actually have the bots to fulfill those requests or set it up for them to do that.

If you want it to do something different you can make a feature request here: viewforum.php?f=6
