The spidertron having its own logistic request system is really cool, and I have a few requests to expand on it:

• Make the system available to other vehicles, by either adding them directly to the car and tank, adding improved car and tank technologies (that come with logistics and perhaps also a small equipment grid), or exposing the related settings in the vehicle prototype
• Add a toggle option within the logistics tab that temporarily turns the vehicle into, effectively, a passive provider chest (which could also be useful for the player)

Basically, my ideal setup for creating an outpost would be to fill up the vehicle via the logistic system at a home base, then drive it to the outpost, where I apply my blueprints, and bots there are able to grab the necessary items from the vehicle directly to fill up the outpost.
