read required platform construction materials without "auto request"

Post by sh4dow »

I'd like to be able to read all the necessary construction materials for a platform, without it requesting missing materials from the planet.

When implementing mods for inter platform logistics, it's currently quite difficult to account for required materials (one would have to manually scan/keep track of entity blueprints, tile blueprints and item/module insertion requests). Since the game already does the required logic for that, it would be nice if there was an API to directly read missing materials without having to enable auto requests and then reading the logistic section...

When auto requests are enabled that’s exactly what the engine is doing.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
