[2.0] Add ability to request repair packs in roboports

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
Roboports should be able to request repair packs the same way they request robots.

What?
Something like this:

Why?
There's option to put repair packs to the buffer chests near the roboport, but it looks as "overkill", especially when the roboports themselves can now request robots.

I Agree, came here to post a similar message

"- Request repair packs to roboports as well (and allow them to draw from buffer chest) (allows greater control of where repair packs reside in base, as you can then use buffer chest with repair pack request at home base to withdraw all repair packs from roboports which you don't want to contain repair packs. Repair packs can then easily be distributed precisely as desired, just like bots now can)"

Just wanted to bump this suggestion up. It's great that we can ghost-request repair packs with construction robots, but having them automatically resupply would make it much less of a hassle.
