Platform-to-platform transfers blocked by residual zero qty fulfilled autoconstruction requests

[Sophisticaited]

Playing new experimental version and trying out the new platform to platform transfers feature.

Platform A previously had been constructed using the "Auto request missing construction materials" option. This required, among other things, space platform. Once the construction was completed, all the construction materials that had been requested remain below the checkbox, but are just set to zero qty. Technically, it appears the Satisfaction is listed as "x / 0" where x is the amount of that item left over on the platform.

Now, once the "Provide materials to other platforms" checkbox is ticked, it will not transfer any of those (previously autocontruction requested) items to the other platform until the "Auto request missing construction materials" checkbox is un-ticked to clear the "0" request auto remaining on the platform from the previous auto construction.

One fix to this may be to just delete the auto request for an item when the construction is complete on the space platform, rather than only setting its request qty to zero.

Although it appears others on the forums have pointed out issues or requested features that would allow platforms to both request from one source while dispatching to other sources. A feature like that would likely also solve this issue.

I've kept a save file, happy to upload it if required.

Seems like this is intended behavior. Satisfied construction requests only get cleared when you toggle the "automatic requests" checkbox or when the platform changes location.
