[2.0.69] Combinator logic setting requests on Cargo Landing Pad not getting drops from ships

Post by Trakis »

I don't think I'm missing anything. I have a combinator setup to set the requests on cargo landing pads. The request section controlled by the circuit network will be correct with how many items I need, but nothing is dropping from the ships.

I noticed that the requested amount matches the number of items in the cargo storage. It seems to be both counting and not counting the contents of the cargo landing pad.

The ships are up there with the contents ready to go. "Unload" box is checked.

Thanks for the report however i am going to move this to Not a bug.

Cargo landing pad works correctly: logistic requests here are saying how much of an item should be inside of a cargo landing pad so if there is less than that it will start requesting. Given that amount of items inside of a cargo landing pad matches your logistic request, this entity is working correctly.

It looks like you are missing a fact that content of a cargo landing pad is counted towards content of a logistic network and this is what messes up your logic. For example if there would be a cargo landing pad alone in a network and you want 2000 iron plates, when it is empty the request from arithmetic would be equal to 2000, but if there would be 1000 iron plates inside, since now a logistic network would be reporting as having 1000 iron plates, your request would go down to 1000 but this is exactly how many items are in the cargo landing pad and it would stop requesting - when cargo landing pad content goes up, request goes down and they reach a middle point.
