I was troubleshooting my fulgora build. Have an orbital recycling plattform and groundbased science pack production.

Platform "Orbitalrecycler 1" has some old building requests (long fullfilled). The request for 0 accumulators actively blocks dropping to fulgora ground: Landing Hub Fulgora asking for accumulators. Available because orbital plattform is full but they never drop: Always? Load the save. Always.
If I uncheck "automatic request building material" in orbital platform it starts dropping accumulators immediately.


I expected old building orders to not block logistics later.

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended. If it didn't work this way: as soon as an item arrived to fulfill a building request it would instantly get sent back to the planet.

So I need to disable automatic building to be able to send entities down i have built on ship?

Once you’ve finished building it, if it won’t be moved to another plant: at least once yes.

Just noticed this got changed in 2.1.13
Great! Thank you

Uhm, no, it was NOT solved in 2.1.13 .. the change in that patch enabled sending to other platform once building is complete. Not send to planet.

Please re-evaluate, since you decided already that sending away stuff to other platforms is ok. Maybe make it "smart", I mean, switch to delivery mode if all construction requests are done.
Or ... just clear the 0-construction-request to no-construction-request.
