There is a compatibility issue with the mod "AAI Containers & Warehouses". If both mods are installed, recipes for basic logistic chests become unavailable in the game. Disabling the "AAI Containers & Warehouses" mod solves the problem - the basic chests from the main mod become available.
If you disable the "Early Robots for 2.0", the base chests become available in the usual way in the research tree.
However, I'm not sure which of the two mods does not tolerate the second one.
I Ijust disable "AAI Containers & Warehouses".
