[2.0.20] rocket doesnt create logistics request

[its a me]

I have a space platform requesting 50 logistics bot's and a rocket silo set to automatic fill requests how ever a circuit connection to a roboport on the logistics network shows no request for logistics bot's, i expect that like a requester chest a rocket that supply's space platforms to create a logistics request like a requester chest.

Do you actually have any bots in a provider chest anywhere?

[its a me]

no but it should create a logistics request like a requester chest.

It doesn’t, not until the network can provide the items to the rocket, at which point the silo will request it as the next item it will launch.

That is just how it works. The only way to see the requests ahead of time is to use the circuit network “Read orbital requests” from the silo.

Hmm, could you wire that up to a requester chest (and have it set to set requests from the circuit network), disable auto requests on the silo, and then put an inserter from the requester chest to the silo?

Personally, I think rocket silos and landing pads just shouldn't be connected to the planetary logistic network at all, that way you can use your own logistic chests to customise the behaviour (e.g. to allow controlling whether it requests from buffer chests)
