i [issue] Issue when changing a request that has a maximum amount set

3 months ago

Hello,

I just wanted to bring up an issue I noticed when setting a temporary request on an item that already has a maximum amount set. For example, say that I normally like to keep 50 inserters on me so I have a request for exactly that many. But if I temporarily want more, say I want to go and build something that requires a few hundred, but I don't feel like going over to the mall and picking them up myself. I would like to set a temporary request for 200 inserters. This works fine, but the issue is as soon as the request has been completed, it disappears, and goes back to the previous maximum of 50, so they get taken away.

There is actually another similar mod that had this same issue, and someone suggested a fix for it:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TemporaryLogisticRequest/discussion/6468be7d941cdd1ef6a08e72

I don't like the interface of that mod though (you can only adjust requests 5 at a time by clicking on them, instead of being able to type in the number you want). I would love it if a similar fix could get implemented in your mod. No worries if it will not be possible.

Thank you!
