Logistic request from space stations not working

[vital abyss]

I must be missing something here, can someone please tell me why it isn't requesting what the station is requesting?

Thanks!

It works when I "launder" the signal via a circuit into a requester chest

Hover over the requests. It requires a full stack before it'll send an item

A full rocket stack at least.
Some items is less than a stack on the character

[vital abyss]

hover here? It is requesting more than a full stack of this

but I assume you mean hover on the silo request - my problem is there are no silo requests

Ahh I see the problem - Logistic requests are only sent when a rocket is ready to launch

That being the case this seems much worse than having a requester chest next to the rocket

perhaps I'm missing something there

[silent flare]

dont put requester chests next to the rocket (not for anything but blue/fuel/LDS)

just let the silo do the request by itself

alternatively you could manually request the smaller amount of items manually and adjust the minimum to launch

[vital abyss]

What makes you say that?

With the chest it's all there ready to be quickly inserted where as if the request is only made to the network when the rocket is launched there are delays

What the downside of the requesters?

Thanks for the advice

Hmm one issue I see is that requesters keep requesting items that have been loaded but not launched - is that your point?

Ah no because you can just trash unrequested to resolve that
