Logistic network, what is counted ?

Post by nobodx »

Hi,
Currently I'm trying to build an automatic logistic / warehouse trainstation.
In my central factory, the trains arrive, get unloaded into active provider chests and stuff get sorted in from the logistic drones.
I wired up all the storage and provider chests. But when I compare the wire-amounts to the wireless amounts inside the network, there are huge differences. (We're talking about 200k vs 220k iron ore on a 2000 bot network.

So my question: are requester chests counted as well ?

The idea with the storage is, that any excess ore (a configurable number) will be loaded onto a train to a remote storage. When the ore-amount in my factory drops the missing ore will be transported back ( including a small buffer, so that the trains won't ferry the ore back and forth).

Items in requester chests are not counted as being in the logistic network (because they were already requested, and can't be accessed by bots).
