Click on Super Lightning 1 which is traveling to Fulgora.
Enable the force unload option (0/0 barrels on Navius unnamed rquest) of empty barrels which are set up for Navius.
The barrels will be put into the orbital drop slot and will be dropped off of Fulgora. -> This is the wrong behvaiour.

This is happening all over the place, force unload location isnt respected.
Also notice how the automatic routes like Navius-Gleba also dont respect the location rule and it drops empty barrels on Gleba

Expected behaviour: Enabling the 0/0 barrel force drop off will ignore the journey to Fulgora and will work when reaching Navius dropping all empty barrels there.

So this is not a bug? Uhm how do I get rid of the empty barrels then? Im confused.

You can use any Inserter to throw unwanted materials off the side of the Space Platform, as showcased in FFF-381. Or try a Recycler building.

Good Luck!

Why would I keep making new empty barrels? No I just want to offload them to their original location so they can be refilled. THis shouldnt be this hard. Why is "emptying a barrel" even a thing then? Realism? Then how about let me be able to do one extremely simple task: offload "something" at a SPECIFIC location.

You could turn things around and instead request barrels on Nauvis' landing pad.
