[2.0.63] Space platform not fulfilling some cargo landing pad requests

Post by myridium »

The space platform incorrectly ignores some logistics requests from the cargo landing pad.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Park an empty space platform (SP) over Nauvis.
2. Empty the Nauvis cargo landing pad (CLP).
3. Set up a SP logistics request for 1 stack of X from Nauvis.
4. Set up a SP logistics request for 4 stacks of X from Gleba.
5. Set up CLP logistics request for 10 stacks of X.
6. Deposit 4 stacks of X into SP.

SP = space platform
CLP = Nauvis cargo landing pad
X = stack inserter

Expected behaviour:
- SP drops 3 stacks of X into CLP. This keeps the SP request for 1 stack of X fulfilled, and partially fulfills the CLP request for 10 stacks of X.

Actual behaviour:
- SP ignores the CLP request.

Gameplay consequences:
- It is not possible to simultaneously:
1. Set up the SP to pick up X from Gleba and deposit it at CLP.
2. Have this SP maintain a logistics request group that happens to includes 1 stack of X from Nauvis.
- Space platforms that do 'supply runs' to a distribution centre on Nauvis cannot use any logistics request groups that include the items they deliver in their supply runs.
- Space platform item delivery is effectively one-way.

This appears to be a bug, because if I remove the SP logistics request for 1 stack of X from Nauvis, then all 4 stacks drop to the CLP. In other words, the space platform is willing to drop all 4 stacks as long as ZERO stacks are requested for pickup from Nauvis, but will drop nothing if ONE stack is requested for pickup from Nauvis.

Thanks for the report however this is working correctly. Platforms will not drop items in this manor that they are requesting.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
