I've run into an odd issue with my interstellar logistics: my platforms have been overdelivering items to cargo landing pads because the logistic requests for each item at the landing pads appear to be reading incorrect values for Logistic storage. All requests and thresholds were working fine on a previous version (can't say which, I just booted this save up for the first time in a few months) and nothing regarding the landing pad's requests had changed in the meantime. I only just noticed because my Fulgora yellow storage chests were overflowing with turbo belts, over 45k now, despite having requested only 200. Most of the Logistic storage values show "0", while others are just incorrect. None of them are accurate on any planet.

Attached are a sampling of screenshots comparing items in the landing pad logistics requests versus what's in their storage network. The items in question are not actively being moved nor are they in a separate logistics network from my cargo landing pad. It happens on every planet and has made interstellar logistics nearly impossible to manage. All other logistics requests, including rockets and platforms, appear to be working normally.

Disabling all mods has no effect, and the screenshots below are from a save with only Space Age, Quality, and Elevated Rails enabled.

Cargo landing pad requests are requests *from orbital logistics* AKA: space platforms. They do not include what's on the planet when factoring in "how many should be delivered to this landing pad". They only include what's in the landing pad when checking "should the space platform send more items to the landing pad".

That's to say: everything here seems to be working correctly and you simply seem to be misunderstanding how these requests work. They have always worked that way.

I see, they do indeed match the contents of platforms in orbit. That makes sense! I still have no idea why I've had so many belts and things of that nature delivered, but obviously something must be pulling them out of the landing pad then... Thanks for the quick response.
