LogisticCell function "is_in_construction_range" not working

Using the test code below, I'm trying to detect whether a specific entity is in construction range of a given cell. (entity_position is a local variable defined prior to the code fragment below)
Code: Select all
if player.surface.find_logistic_network_by_position(entity_position, force) then -- is this entity in a logistic network?
local nearest_cell = player.surface.find_logistic_network_by_position(entity_position, force).find_cell_closest_to(entity_position)
if nearest_cell.is_in_construction_range(entity_position) then
game.players[1].print (roster_entry.entity.name .. "found in range of a construction network. Time to rebuild.....")
end
end
It seems to be working correctly and printing the message if the entity is in LOGISTICS range (the orange zone), but not in CONSTRUCTION range (green zone). Am missing something, or is

find_logistic_network_by_position will give you logistic network only if given position is in logistic range.

Ah ha! Knew it had to be one of those "answer right in front of you...." kind of things.

I still declare it as api is not clear enough
However Added LuaSurface::find_logistic_networks_by_construction_area(..). has been implemented for .15
