When existing logistics storage is full (or it seems when a vehicle is conveniently nearby), bots will utilise nearby vehicle storage to dump goods, however this is often counter productive.

The player should have the option to decide if bots use vehicle storage based on whether logistics for that vehicle are enabled or disabled.

As per screenshot, tank's vehicle logistics is off (and has been off for many hour before the current situation) however bots are still attempting to insert items into it (and it's already full).

Can bot behaviour be changed to not allow use of vehicle storage when vehicle logistics has been turned off for that vehicle?

Trash unrequested can be used to solve this in part, but if the player is in control of the vehicle and wants to use the vehicle's storage, then trash unrequested can hamper that control as anything outside of the supply list is voided.

Cheers

You appear to be using at least some Mods - that is not a standard Road Tile in the screenshot.... Can you please share the Logs & Save File? I have never seen this behaviour in Vanilla.
It looks like all of the Items en-route to the Tank are being delivered by Construction Bots - not Logistic Bots from the surrounding factory. I see 1 Construction Bot in the Tank's Inventory; are the deployed ones actually working off of the Tank's Personal Roboports? It seems like the Tank's Construction Bots are deconstructing entities marked for deconstruction / picking-up Items off the ground. Since the tank has no space they are following it around waiting for space to become available.... they cannot store themselves in the Tank until their Cargo has been delivered, and they cannot pass it off to the Factory's Network unless check the provided Trash Unrequested button.


You can visualize the Robots associated with a Vehicle by Hovering over it, as below. This Tank has a full Trunk, so the Construction Bots are patiently waiting.
