The most important part of this mod for it to be functional at a base level would be being able to connect a wire to the rocket silo or some other entity that returns the value of the required items for a shipment. Otherwise the player would have to change the requester chest all the time. Seems like a really neat mod and I look forward to seeing your progress and may even add some of my own modifications

That's a great suggestion, I'm fairly new to the circuit network myself, so once I get more familiar with that, I'll definitely add this suggestion to the mod.

I'm always open to contributions if you wish to get involved, although I reserve the right to reject any changes that I feel is out of line for my vision of the mod.

Sending the current request to the circuit network would be great, and imho, necessary for automation. Also, there needs to be a reward towards infinite research for a launch. Megabases run on bumping up those infinite researches.

What's a good example of a reward in this scenario? I haven't done a whole ton of mega bases myself. I've done a couple back in 0.14, currently building a new one in spare time against the 0.16 branch.
