When you hover over a logistic chest ingame the gui on the right tells you which items are currently being delivered / are going to be picked up.
It also highlights the respective robots that are currently doing these jobs in red or green.
It would be nice if we could access this information in a mod

That information isn't cheap to get through the API as it would need to iterate every robot in the world on ever logistic network to find them every time you called it.

The way it's done now is the robot simply renders it when on screen so it's super cheap to do. Getting it in the API would be very expensive.

Well then could we at least read the amounts of items that are currently being delivered / going to be picked up from a logistic chest?
Or does this involve the same workaround?

Bump because I recently read this.
Can we please get access to this reservation system. I just need to know what items are being delivered / going to be picked up from a logistic chest.
Thanks in advance
