Hello,
I presume that you've thought of putting a requester chest next to a dock with an inserter to transfer the items? I appreciate that it isn't exactly the same as a logistic requester dock, but I think that it is sufficient for most use cases.
I don't think that I want to change the dock into a logistic requester for everyone, but you'd be very welcome to contribute a pull request on Github. I can see this working in 2 ways:
- A setting to change all docks into logistic requesters. This should be pretty easy: change container into logistic-container and add
logistic_mode
- A setting to add a second type of dock into the game that is a logistic requester. This would require adjusting technologies, adding a new recipe and item, and changing a lot of the code where
"sp-spidertron-dock-x"
is hardcoded. Feel free to have a go at it if you like, but I doubt that it would be worth it over option 1.
I might have a go at option 1 at some point towards the end of September myself, if it hasn't been done already by then :)
