Please add a "Delivery" indicator to the character logistics pane, like the one shown for logistics chests, that shows items that are currently in transit to the character.

It could go under the trash slots.

I'm currently running 0.12.29.

If you can explain how you can calculate that time for all cases... :)

Some speed of robots , distance between storage and you, amount of materials divided by number of robots... something like that

you'll need to account for charging

That immediately makes things much more complicated

If they ever improve the robot pathfinding so robots will include charging into their route it'll be a lot simpler.

Even with pathfinding it's nearly impossible to calculate that. Ok, maybe you get correct results for situations with less traffic, but never for situations, where - hm - say more than 50 robots need to move. Or where you have only one roboport and only 40 bots. :)

It's much more useful to show the distance.

I just want to see the count of items in transit to the player, same exact thing that's currently shown for requester chests.

I don't want to see the time estimate. It doesn't seem very useful (you can't really take any sort of action on that information) and it's definitely impossible to calculate. Anyways it can be infinite if you just run away from the bots.

I'd like to keep this suggestion simple and focused so it doesn't get ignored.
