g Is there a way to request the platform construction element from an other platform?

14 days ago

As the title said, I'm looking for a way to use this mod to make a platform use an other platform to build itself. The second part is easy: connecting a circuit to a provider antenna allow any station connected to request the contend of the providing platform.
But for the first part, I have an hard time founding a way to connect the requested to a circuit (and then to an antenna). Is there a way to read what a platform request, or what is missing in a blueprint and send it to a requester antenna?
It was already a discussion in the previous mod so I'm wondering if this point was solve (by this mod or an other submod)

Hello, no there isn't, at least, not in my mod, nor natively in the game.
I'm guessing modding it could be possible, but that would require to read the logistic sections of the hub and find the auto generated section, then output the signal in some entity (UPS intensive, unfortunately). THe control behavior of the hub doesn't allow direct access to the information. And even with the most direct method, you'd need a way to transfer the information to some circuit.

ok thanks
I will have to dump that platform hub builder away but there is still a lot of interesting idea to play with in this mod. Thanks for that !
