Description: trying to forbid my drones from dropping off items at some of the Large Bulk Storage buildings using the Drone Maintenance toggles for the building and they keep bringing them, I've tried quitting and re-booting the save and it's every one of the buildings (using them as buffer for multi-regolith refineries, but I'm using a different ore rich node for each of 4 refineries).

Current workaround is to have one set to regolith set as high priority and the ones I don't want receiving any set to low priority, but that impacts the overall delivery priorities too so it's far from ideal.

is it for all drones or just the hauler drones in particular ignoring the toggle?

I've seen both standard drones and haulers drop off regolith at the large storage while the drop-off toggle was set to off. I also watched for several minutes to make sure it wasn't just a leftover from drones already on their way when the toggle was switched.

Some troubleshooting steps I took...

I made sure all 4 belt openings were occupied and the behavior continued

Once the priority order I mentioned above was working as a temporary fix, I adjusted the priorities back to all being standard and both types of drones started bringing regolith to the forbidden bulk storage again.

As far as I could tell, the logistics won't instantly drop tasks that were headed for a "target" if you switch the Drone Maintenance toggles, so if there are drones already headed to withdraw or transfer in it, they'll do so

#

On the other hand, I saw drones continue to pull fuel from storage even though it was disabled, so there might be an issue in some cases

Yeah, I've noticed that too, which is why I waited several minutes watching, then got them to stop by changing priorities to low for the storages i didn't want dropped off at, and high for one i did, waited until deliveries at the ones i didn't want stopped, then reset priorities to make sure it was still happening before reporting it as a bug
