Factorio Forums

I'm probably doing something incorrectly but I haven't figured out what that may be.

I'm playing Space Age past the point of reaching the Solar system edge and completing the main objective.
I've successfully built and used several Space platforms in the process.
To proceed beyond the Solar system edge toward the Shattered planet I built a new Space platform.
To do this I blueprinted the platform I used to get to the Solar system edge, launched a new Space platform hub and laid the blueprint on top of it. The new platform is named differently from the blueprinted platform.
I enabled Auto request missing construction materials on the new platform hub to get it started.
I then disabled Automatic requests from space platforms on one of the rockets silos and finished sending construction materials to the new platform by filling rocket loads of the needed small quantities of various items manually.
All of this takes place on/over Nauvis and is the same method I've used for all of the other Space platforms.

Once I finished building all the changes to this new platform I setup item requests to be delivered automatically from Nauvis while still over Nauvis.
I had reenabled the rocket silo to automatically fulfill requests from space platforms.

However, these requests are not recognized by the rocket silos even though hovering over the requests on the space platform show there is enough material in the Nauvis logistics network to fill a rocket.
I also have the rocket silo set to read orbital requests which shows the one remaining construction material request (items are not on Nauvis) but neither of the platform's item request show up.

I've tried having the platform leave Nauvis for a short way and return to see if that would trigger the request but it did not.
I've tried toggling Auto request missing construction material on the Space platform hub but that makes no difference.
I've tried deleting the missing construction material ghosts from the platform in case that was preempting logistics requests but that also made no difference. (Note the issue is not about the railgun request.)
I've exited the game and Factorio, restarted Factorio and reloaded the game to no avail. Also this is the 2nd day and I've shutdown/restarted the PC.
I've deleted and readded the requests and that made no difference.

I've used my other Space platforms in this way with no issues so I don't know why this isn't working on this new platform.

Additionally:
All the other Space platforms are stopped at Nauvis, have all of their requests fulfilled and do not request or provide the items being requested by the new Space platform.
I increased a request on one of the other platforms and the request was fulfilled.
I added a new third request for available items from Nauvis and that is also not recognized.

If someone can point out what I may be doing incorrectly here I would appreciate it.

I've added some attachments to help illustrate the situation at hand and verify key factors such as:

* The requests are for Nauvis.
* The Nauvis logistics network has enough material to fill a rocket and to fulfill the requests.
* The rocket silo on Nauvis is set to automatically fulfill Space platform requests.
* The silos have rockets ready.
* The rocket silos are in the same logistics network as the requested items.
* The most recent log file to provide insight into my setup although this is the second day with the issue and I’ve restarted the game.
* The save file is 32MB so I haven't attached that.

In your last Screenshot, the checkbox next to the Logistic Group “[No group assigned]” is un-checked.

Good Luck!

Thanks,

I haven't familiarized myself with group assignments so haven't paid attention to that.

Turns out checking that solved it.
I figured it was something I was doing incorrectly.

I took a look at my working platforms and that seems to be checked on all of them.
Not sure how it became unchecked on this new one.

Good eye and thanks again.
