Please change first parameter of LuaLogisticNetwork.insert(item,members) to (accept?) a SimpleItemStack

It is currently possible to:

Code: Select all

local function delete_10_iron_plate_from_logistic_network(logistic_network)
    logistic_network.remove_item({ name="iron-plate", count=10 })
end

But it is not possible to do the opposite:

Code: Select all

local function add_10_iron_plate_to_logistic_network(logistic_network)
    logistic_network.insert({ name="iron-plate", count=10 })
end

I asked how I could (efficiently) do what I wanted, and this was suggested:

1. chest = surface.create_entity{name = "steel-chest"}
2. chest.insert{SimpleItemStack}
3. logistic_network.insert(chest.get_inventory(1)[1])
4. chest.destroy()

Allowing SimpleItemStack in LuaLogisticNetwork.insert() sounds like a good idea for Modding interface requests.

It... already works that way?

I haven't used that particular part of the API yet, but the documentation states that insert() expects a full LuaItemStack, maybe the doc is outdated?

The docs are outdated. It's already fixed in 0.17.

Me looks at doc... oh! Is ItemStackSpecification generally used everywhere now? That would be awesome. (Oh, and there's more for player etc., exiting :3)
