Specifically i like to use my spidertron logistics to transfer stuff from my main base to remote outposts and they become problematic because they tend to do the opposite when the outposts have logistic robots. I have to manually disable currently the logistics every single time i leave my main base which is a hassle. For example if i leave some walls for repairs in the outpost and my spidertron has walls in it's logistic slots then it will be fed with walls by the logistic robots of the outpost as long as it is below it's threshold, essentially taking walls from outposts that i want to give them. So if there is a way or a mod that disables your personal logistics in specific logistic networks i would like to know.

I’m not aware of any. But I don’t know of every mod out there. Perhaps you could write the mod you want yourself?

The other option is to automate delivery of needed supplies. A “wall repair train” carrying repair packs, walls, turrets, laser turrets, etc. that only goes to a wall resupply station when the available stock gets low is easily set up and does not require you to manually send a spidertron (or go yourself) to resupply stuff.

I see, thank you. What can i say i love the spidertron, even created spidertron "trains" by having many of them follow each other. Modding seems like a challenge since i haven't tried it before but if it is the best choice i will try at least.

Have a look at https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogiNetChannels. I'm not sure if it does exactly what you want, but even if it doesn't, it would be a good start for you to base a new mod off.

Yes thanks it works! it does have it's own set of limitations though, you need to change every single logistic chest as well and they are treated as foreign meaning the logistic robots are slow without the upgrades of the player at the outpost.
